He has his own record company, Chart Records looking after Adam Hills. David continues his radio career with MIX 102.3 FM Adelaide.
He has an acute awareness of what it’s like to be ‘knocking on heavens door’ as he calls it.

SHERIDAN STEWART
Former FM radio favourite Sheridan Stewart has gone from “rock chick” to “renaissance woman” since leaving MMM in 2006. The last two years have seen Sheridan establish herself as mosaic artist, a keynote speaker (Courage, Confidence & Charisma and Success Secrets of a Confident Woman) and MC (Legends of Aussie Rock, Adelaide International Guitar Festival) as well being the front-woman of Titters! the Award Winning Fringe Festival showcase for Australasia’s hottest female comic talent. Plus ... switchboards still go ballistic anytime she appears on-air!
Sheridan is thrilled to have been asked to join the Support Act Limited S.A Board “I was really blown away when Daisy rang, what an honour!” say’s Sheridan who hopes to contribute by promoting SAL to Generation X (those born in the 60’s & 70’s) “We are the generation who have been weaned on the music created by those that SAL supports! The Baby Boomers are well represented at SAL events, like the Debonair’s, and I want to see more Gen X’ers, especially from the radio industry, getting involved.”
