MICHAEL JOHN

 

Disk Jockey and Radio Announcer Michael John Fewster began his career at 5AK in Adelaide aged 18 followed by a permanent slot on the breakfast shift at 2CA in Canberra from the late 60s to the late 1970s. He was also a bookmaker at Canberra racecourse (Thoroughbred Park). Recording under the name Michael John he released some comedic singles in the 70s. His ''Australia's Santa Claus'' originally released on the PK label in 1973, and played mercilessly on 2CA was re released on the Rainbow label a year later and went to #1 on the 2CA Top 40 and charting nationally at #97.
