1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: For the last time we saw this man, Mitch Tambo.

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 2: He was performing at the Australian Radio Awards, which we

4
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 2: hosted last year. He opened the show with this incredible performance.

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: You may have seen him do this. It was an

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: incredible hit for him. It's this first Nation's language version

7
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 2: of You're the Voice Electrified. Well, Mitch has turned its

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: considerable talents to another song you might recognize. Have a listen.

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: Oh Goose's hearing that.

10
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: It's amazing.

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: Mitch joins us.

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: Now, Mitch Tambo, Hello, yummy, Ama, good morning morning.

13
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: What a perfect song for you?

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 3: Were you?

15
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: How did you choose this one?

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: Oh? It's just one of them things, isn't it. You know,

17
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: life happens and things unsold, and you just never know

18
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: what's around the corner. And all of a sudden, here

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: I was in a studio with incredible Reagan doing a

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: reinterpretation of such an iconic classic, you know. And it's

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: just been such a journey already with this incredible song,

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 1: and just such a blessing to have it out right now.

23
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone would forget seeing you on the

24
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: stage in twenty twenty for the Firefight Concert singing you'r

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 2: the Voice with John Farnham, living in John Brian May

26
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,279
Speaker 2: from Queen electrifying for all of us. Did life change

27
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 2: a bit for you? When all of us? Joli went,

28
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: oh my god, that's incredible.

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: It's really crazy, isn't it, because it was such a

30
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: moment for myself and for my career. But what no

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: one would anticipate is, you know, a couple of months

32
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: after that, I'd be locked down in the most lockdown

33
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: city in the world for two years. So it's been

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: a crazy journey.

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 4: That's just sure, because you want to get out there

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: on tour the song and you're locked down'd be so frustrating.

37
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: Oh totally. You know. It was heartbreaking, but it's not

38
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: something that was directed at me, and we all went

39
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: through it and it was just about I guess, how

40
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: much do you really believe and love what you do

41
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: and how long are you really doing the hold on

42
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: for to see what will unfold? And fortunately enough, with

43
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: a supportive wife and great fam we're able to just

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: hold on and get through it. And here we are

45
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: now with another song out.

46
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: So yeah, well, obviously you kept yourself busy during lockdown.

47
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: You've got a one year old crawling around the house.

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: Sure do.

49
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: She's on her feet now, she's running around keeping its busy.

50
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: And you know that in itself has been an incredible

51
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: journey for sure.

52
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you've done some great work with UNSEF as well,

53
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 4: and a lot of people probably aren't aware of what

54
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 4: you've done. You've done some amazing stuff. What have you seen, like,

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 4: what can you share with us that you've seen recently?

56
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I mean in obviously it's a great, great

57
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: organization and do an amazing thing. I mean, so many

58
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: things have happened globally and nationally beside on board with

59
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: UNISEEFF and they're doing some amazing things. But for me

60
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: it's really about giving back and being able to go

61
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: out and to remote regional communities and play my part

62
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: with my own people and own communities. But UNISEET obviously

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: it's across everything and doing some amazing things.

64
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 4: Because there are tough times at the moment with what's

65
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 4: going on in Alice Springs and things like that. And

66
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: I never made it Talis Springs. I almost got a

67
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 4: job there one time many years ago. But when what

68
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 4: you read in the newspapers to what's actually happening. Have

69
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: you seen any of that?

70
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look what you're read in the newspaper

71
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: to what goes on is always going to be a

72
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: bit of you know, at someone else's opinion in their

73
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: writing and obviously wanting people to read as well. But yeah, certainly, Look,

74
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: there's things that happening in Alice that I think happened

75
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: in all of our communities. But obviously sometimes it can

76
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: be a bit more isolated and a bit more intense

77
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: due to so many kept contributing factors and social determinants

78
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 1: that you know, you find the remote, rural lifelated communities

79
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: that can be completely overrepresented. So I think, you know, unfortunately,

80
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: not everyone gets the opportunity like yourself to go in

81
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: and have a lived experience on the ground.

82
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: But we've just got to hope that there's going to

83
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 3: be some results and that we can get a bit

84
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 3: of a turnaround. At the end of the day, we

85
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: just want what's best for people and for humanity.

86
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: Well, good on you, Mitch, and that that song great

87
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: Southern Man. Let's hear another bit of that here.

88
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 4: I love it.

89
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 5: It's so gorgeous, you know, Mitchell, how you're doing all

90
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 5: these aussy songs. Have you ever thought maybe rack off

91
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 5: Normy by Maureen Elkner.

92
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 4: It was a big hit in the seventies.

93
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: Look, if you asked for like three years ago, I'd

94
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: probably be a closed book. But I'm just on a

95
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: journey at the moment. You know, I think I've been

96
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: on that journey and take it on the order voice

97
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: that gave me enough anxiety. So at the moment, I'm

98
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: just I'm happy to be an open book and explore,

99
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: explore opportunity.

100
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: Ask for a free someone asks you to do rack

101
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: off Normy by Mauren Elton, maybe say no on Spotify.

102
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 4: You're probably too young to remember it.

103
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 1: But I don't know it at all. But you know,

104
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: I'm just going to keep open.

105
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 4: It's probably worth having a gand rat mate. I'd just

106
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 4: like to see how you do how you do the

107
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 4: lingo for it, It would be it'd be quite impressive.

108
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: Great, something like you're setting me up.

109
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 4: Well, No, it's Amanda. It's all Amanda, Great Southern Amanda's
