Simon Johnson (Rhymin’ Simon)

Like most RTRFM presenters I have been interested in music from an early age. Besides the music I love presenting on Woodstock and Spoonful, I am also into music from around the world and am always on the lookout for something news.

About

Get to know Simon

I am retired but now enjoy doing community work for various organizations. Besides volunteering with RTRFM, I am a voluntary guide on Rottnest Island and help out with Food Rescue which collects unsold sandwiches and the like from various outlets and given to those who less fortunate than most of us. Previously was involved in the grains industry as well as international trade development and shipping.

How did you become involved in the station?

I was asked to co-present Woodstock Rock back in 2004 and as they say, the rest is history!

Tell us about your most memorable gig, either attending or playing at?

Like most people involved with RTRFM I have attended many gigs across many musical genres. However, if I had to nominate one it would be the Who playing the Rainbow Theatre, London in November 1971. They were promoting ‘Who’s next’ and were at the top of their game. Unforgettable!

What is your favourite show (other than your own) on RTRFM?

Sunday Morning Coming down; Plucked Strings; Giant Steps; Golden Apples in the Sun; Middle of Nowhere (that’s Sundays sorted!)
