East Coast Radio KZN -meeting the Team

After 3 years of online interviews, chatting and long distance friendships, it was super exciting to finally meet the team from East Coast Radio in KZN. I had planned with the Music Compiler/Program manager to suprise Danny G for quite a while but didn’t know what would happen until my trip to SA was actually confirmed.

Finally we got the dates and so I was off to KZN. I first met Jackie, who is such an incredible person and a great advocate of my music. He actually has my EGG logo tattooed on his head which is extremely special 🙂

We got in the car with Nadeem, the audio engineer and off we went to an outside broadcast to go suprise Danny. As we arrived, I slowly wound down my window as I drove past him and the look on his face was something I’ll never forget. He was genuinely so suprised that I was there and he said he had to look about 4 times to actually believe it was me. It was an amazing moment and we got to share an interview together afterwards.

My brother Jack and his wife Les were listening in from Cyprus and my mother and brother Lee were listening in from the Netherlands. Emma and Lizelle were listening in from Durban and hopefully various other friends around the world.

I also had an interview with Styles on the ECR Top 40 in studio. What was really exciting about this was that it was his first ever live interview and first interview for the ECR Top 40 so a highlight for both him and I at the same time!

We were blessed to stay at a beautiful little guest house called Lily’s cottage and so looked after by the wonderful @lizelle who really went above and beyond to make our time special. I will forever be grateful to her for her love, care and hospitality she showed us in the few days we got to spend in KZN.

With Lizelle

My mother @pandamama met @lizelle on Hive seven years ago when she was running a competition called Cookwithus. Lizelle was a several time winner of the competition. I was fortunate to meet Lizelle in the Netherlands last year in person when she was visiting her son Dean and I was visiting my brother Lee. It's so wonderful to meet other Hiveans around the world when you have been chatting on line.

Lizelle and my mom have never met in person and hopefully this will happen for them next year.

Much Love
Eden 😘
