Barbara started broadcasting on 2SER as a school kid, going to air for the first time on April 26, 1981. Barbara’s mentors in those early days included Garry Coxhead (2TM), and the late Maurie Taylor who were responsible for 2SER’s country music shows. Along with late mother, Irene Morison (responsible for the first monument in Tamworth honouring CM pioneer; Buddy Williams ) went on to ensure the local variety of the genre was well represented at the station. She’s been on air at the station ever since doing a wide variety of shifts. Her current show “All Kinds of Country” goes to air every Saturday morning from 5-7am.

Barbara’s interviewed some of the biggest names in country music as well as our pioneers, stalwarts and rising stars.
