I’m in shock. Robert was such an incredible and generous supporter of local musicians, including his ongoing support for RMR (he interviewed Kelly on-air only last week), but he was so much more than that to so many people. Very sad day. Not sure I have the words… rest easy good man.
To our community radio family and the greater music industry family, it is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of our dearly loved Robert Dunstan (Bertie), one of the most passionate and longest-serving champions of the local music scene, music journalist, the man behind BSide Magazine, editor at Rip It Up for 12 years, AMC South Australia Music Hall of Fame inductee, DJ & radio presenter. Robert possessed an encyclopaedic knowledge of music and over the years interviewed the absolute who's who of musicians worldwide. Robert's work to promote local artists has been pivotal to music in South Australia and he will be greatly missed. To Robert's family and friends we give our heartfelt condolences. Robert we will all miss you terribly...
