Testimonials

I just love your programme and have told all my elderly friends about it. I particularly love the songs and music from the 1940's and 50's. My mother would switch the wireless on every morning at 6-30 am and it didn't go off until 10-00pm.

We listen most evenings, we turn off the tv and listen to Conrad.

Music is great and makes the day go faster with old music of when I was a kid growing up. Even [though] we are in lockdown [we] keep playing the music of yesteryear. I listen from 7am till 1130pm.

I found your station while visiting my son and his family during November to early February 2019. I'm so delighted to find I can tune in still now I'm back in Ireland! Thank you for lovely music and treasured memories. Stay safe everyone.

I'd love to give your Thursday presenter Mick a huge well done. Has he presented on radio before joining you? He has a wonderful voice that is so easy to listen to. He seems very knowledgeable about all sorts of music trivia. I often learn new things about artists and songs each week. My favourite is his quote of the day. I also want to make special mention of the Australian content in his show. It is wonderful to listen to the great talent our country has produced!

Jo Paull and family, WA

I am a very avid radio listener however I am a relatively new listener to your station. I must say the Sunday nite 8pm to 10pm slot has one of the best presentation and the songs/music played are indeed fabulous. So ever since I stumbled on this ..... I have always been looking forward to that time slot and to drink in the 2 hours of great entertainment. A very big thank you to the presenter of this slot.

Simon, WA

I lived in Hong Kong for many years and was glad when about 8 years ago I found your station on my new DAB radio. As I am now working from home I love the daytime (well nighttime progs for you!) Programmes. Thanks for keeping me sane and playing great music.

My partner and I found the Sunday 8pm show a few months ago and now we look forward to putting the lights out and the candles on at 8pm. We love to relax listening to the songs we heard our parents play when we weren't 52! It's become the most beautiful end to our weekend.

Helena

Wonderful choice of music today. Much appreciated.

I am a night courier,the highlight of my week is listening to Capital Country. The selection of music is just out of this world.

...I connect with and enjoy Capital Country (Wed 6 pm to 8). Country music seems to gather up the threads of our erratic lives and give it expression, so keep strong dear Colleen Hunter, you are a gem...

Murray Cox

Capital Radio plays some of the very best music around. Thank you very much and keep up the good work. You are a fantastic organisation!! Best station in the world!

Congratulations on that brilliant interview with Troy Simmonds.

Andi Kocik

Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. The minute I turned on the radio and heard French songs, I hoped there would be something from Charles Trenet. I adore his songs.

Kate Nicholls

Have to tell you - an astounding line up this morning, one fascinating tune into the next! Superbe! French theme a delight. It's a musical education - beats Classic FM hands down in my book at least!!

Mike

i would just like to say after listening to a lot of overseas radio channels, 101.7 has the best music with very friendly dj's. I'm in the philippines now retired but came from mosman park where i lived.

I just wanted to say thankyou for your wonderful music. I am stuck in my car whilst my 2 babies are sleeping and I am loving the music you are playing today. I am a long time listener. The music always reminds me of my grandmother who passed away a few years ago. Keep up the good work.

Fran.

A big thank you to all the announcers who have come back to work. It is great to hear all your voice's again. You all do a marvelous job every announcer gives out their great charm. Our best wishes to you all.

Margaret and Loxley.

Hi, I wish to express just how much I enjoyed your Anzac Day program on the radio. The letters from soldiers, nurses, etc. the songs and music, brought tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. Your program was very heartwarming and I wish I could have recorded it. Is it possible to buy a copy of that Anzac program? I am a Senior and my memories go back a long way, to an era of so many unforgettable instances, which made your program so perfect for me to listen to and enjoy.

Thank you again, especially for all the effort you put into the recording on this very Special Anzac Day.

Margaret.

Thank you for all the beautiful and continuous music. It has so many times made me waltz or jive around the house during this enforced isolation. Never think your programs are not appreciated -and for those us who live alone Capital is always with us.

Margaret, Nollamara.

Just a note to say that I’ve always enjoyed your music, but at the moment with the continuous music, it’s just terrific. Thank you all so much.

Take care and stay safe.
Christine, Willetton.

a big shout out to your radio station and volunteers, I listen in whenever I'm driving and I really love the songs that are played, you all do an amazing job! As a young listener - sub 40 years you have a wonderful array of music that reminds me of childhood songs I listened to

All the best!!
Luana

Hey Y'all....I am enjoying the programme very much....we are in a scary time now....but am grateful to Y'all for live streaming all over the world Hey....I will always listen to Capital... it's an integral part of my life....I find comfort in the music....I was born January 1945....final days of WWII...but I heard stories from my Mother of how it was very comforting during the war to tune in the radio to listen to encouraging music....I'm not saying these times are as dire although we as a world are fighting an invisible enemy... the music live streaming from Capital Community radio is important to all listeners...a BIG thank you to all who are making this happen....

Thank you for your time....be safe over there....
...a faithful listener....

I am writing from Melbourne to express my appreciation to 101.7 for continuing to provide music in the absence of your volunteer announcers and producers. We miss the excellent announcers, but the ongoing music is a welcome substitute.

I understand the reasoning behind not having your announcers on the job. I am a volunteer at the MCG's Australian Sports Museum and we also have been told not to go to work (the Museum is in fact closed) until it is safe to resume normality.

With thanks Lionel, VICTORIA

26 March 2020

Thank you for continuing to play your fantastic music while the Coronavirus is on, we are stuck at home in self isolation but it's great listening to this wonderful music, we wake up with you and the radio is on all day long, we love it - many thanks

Thank you for your great music.
Particularly Paul Redman's classics on Thursday evenings.
I phoned the other day and asked for some good old Gilbert & Sullivan.
Paul said that he'd play some next week, the 20th, I believe.
My grandfather was one of the original Doily Cart opera singers.

I was very privileged (& absolutely delighted) to be awarded tickets for the Andre Rieu concert on Saturday last.
The Event Innaloo theatre was decadently comfortable & the concert was beyond outstanding.
The music evoked a gamut of emotions & there were many times when there were tears of joy at the breathtaking music, awe-inspiring talent & awesome & sublimely beautiful entertainment.
I was in heaven for every second of the 3 hours & on a high for many hours after.
Thank you so much.
Kind Regards,
Rob, WA

Hello, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy this station.

I particularly love Peter Solomon's session on a Sunday afternoon and wait for it eagerly each weekend.  It has such a wonderful selection of music which is so enjoyable and relaxing.  

When I am away from WA, I try to get the session from my locations interstate and overseas.

Thank you to all your presenters.

The station is excellent.

Kind regards

Have rediscovered Capitol. Absolutely love the music and everything about it. I use to listen to Curtain but it went all commercial and silly talk topics etc. I am a convert to you guys, just love it.what a pleasure to have your station to listen to.

Steven, WA

I have just shifted to Perth and trying to find 100.1 on my radio was impossible and then I hit on your channel .
What an amazing channel. I have heard songs I haven't heard in 55 years. No way am I changing channels in case I miss another great oldie.  I am 73 and it makes me feel young again. 
Thank you, thank you.

My husband and I are visiting WA in our caravan and wherever we stay we make sure we can tune in because we love all the music you play. When we go home to Sydney we are going to try to tune in on our digital radio. I do hope we can continue to listen because we have enjoyed your station so much. Well done and a big thank you to all of you amazing volunteers.

Thank you for brightening my day with all the beautiful memories and music of my late dad's time it brings so many memories back to me of when I was a child and I would sit on my dad's lap and listen to his music with him and mum would give me an afternoon nap and I would fall asleep listening to Acker Bilk and all the wonderful music of the yesteryear.

WHAT A SUPER CHOICE OF MUSIC THIS MORNING. THANK YOU.

Alice, WA

25 February 2019

Hello all,

I'm an under 60 listener and a bit of a station hopper, depending on whether there's too much talk/advertising going on. Over the last year I've listened to Curtin Radio quite a lot and flicked regularly over to Capital to listen in for a while. One of the things I enjoy about Capital is learning about recording artists I did not know about previously. Often, I hear a song on your station and then search for the artist on iTunes. This has been adding new dimensions to my playlists. On Sunday morning I was driving my son to tennis and listened in to Trish Edwards for the first time. She's marvellous on air, and as a result of her efforts I have now added Ella Mae Morse and Cat Edmonson to my collection. Thanks to Trish and all the volunteers who make Capital possible.

Ken, WA

The interview of Chip Harvey about his adventures as a Spitfire pilot was incredibly touching and interesting. Such an articulate 90+year old. Wow ! His memory was amazing.

The story was even more poignant when I related it to 2018. My grandson is 17 ,he is a mature 17 year old but is he ready to take on a role in a war, I doubt it. Yet Chip had already enlisted and was training as a pilot. My other grandson is 25 but Chip was already a veteran Spitfire pilot. Chip Harvey is an incredible, humble  man who shared an incredible life story. Life is not merely about pop stars and millennials. We need to hear more about these amazing senior role models. Thank you for this wonderful interview.

Tuning in to The Listening Post (as I do every week) and hearing the musical documentary tribute to the men who served in WWii in the form of a story of two best friends and their loved ones followed by the tribute to those who served in Vietnam and the recent conflicts in the Middle East. Most moving; have tears in my eyes. I'm one of the very first Baby Boomers (born Jan 46). My Dad was ineligible to serve in the Second World War because of health issues and he was unfairly sent a letter inside which was a single white feather. I didn't serve in "Nam"- my marble didn't come up but many of my mates did. They all came back... and those who saw action; shadows of the men who were originally recruited. programs like this touch me deeply - "but for the grace of God go I". Brilliant programming Capital.
