Dino Jag's version of "Play That Funky Music" is to become the official Reef Dawg Radio Hour song. The weekly radio show which launches on Sunday 9th September will broadcast on WTTB 1490 Treasure Coast Radio in Florida, USA. It covers White City, North and South Hutchinson Island, Ft. Pierce, Lakewood Park, Vero Beach, Sebastian, Micco and Orchid Island.

"Everyone at Reef Dawg Radio Hour wishes to put out a huge "thanks bro" to Dino Jag. We are so very lucky to have his blessings in the use of his remake of the song, we can't thank him enough. His remakes (2 versions) of the classic "Play that Funky Music" (by Wild Cherry) are just simply great, and as fan of both the original and the Dino Jag versions, we feel complete" says Reef Dawg.

The third and final sell-out show in Adelaide for the “ASO Plays Queen” concert series ended with a standing ovation as the audience showed their approval of the tribute paid to supergroup Queen.

The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra (ASO) joined by the cast of leading Aussie rock performers, including vocalist and recording artist “Dino Jag” La Vista, presented the music of Queen in an orchestral makeover like no other!

Live footage & interviews taken by channel 7’s ”Post Cards” on the “ASO Plays Queen” concerts will go to air on Sunday 27th May at 5.30pm. Footage will include a sample of “Dino Jag” La Vista singing "We are the Champions".

The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra (ASO) was going through its paces when Channel 7’s ”Post Cards” crew called in to its Hindley Street headquarters.

It was picking up on the riff from Queens' "We are the Champions" which once reverberated through hi-fi speakers in teenage sleepouts and bedrooms around the world.

A recording of Dino Jag singing “Fool On The Hill” will be included on “FrenchBlackBirds”, the second album scheduled to be released in the series which pays homage to the music of The Beatles as presented by French pianist/composer/arranger & producer Christophe Violland (musical director & keyboard player for The Andrew Strong Band – The Commitments).

The recordings feature a swag of international guests including such luminaries as Average White Band lead vocalist Alan Gorrie (Pictured), Tom Bowes (Tower Of Power / Funk Filharmonik), Carmen Grillo (Tower Of Power), Larry Hoppen (Orleans) & Mark King (Level 42).

Grab your best friend, somebody to love and a fat bottomed girl and head down to the Brisbane Convention Centre for a symphonic rock spectacular!

The Queensland Orchestra pays tribute to one of the most successful and influential rock acts of our time. Queen, the band responsible for the classic songs ”Bohemian Rhapsody”, “You’re My Best Friend”, “Somebody to Love” and “We Will Rock You”, gets the orchestral treatment in Brisbane’s favorite stadium.

Featuring the electric combination of 4-piece rock band, 7 singers (including “Dino Jag” La Vista) and full 60-strong orchestra, this is an evening of rock orchestra like you've never heard before!

Come and relive Queen’s greatest moments in this transcendent fusion of rock and symphony!

All together now ‘I see a little silhouetto of a man …’
