Liz Bennet, more widely known as Bay FM presenter Lady Marmalade, has celebrated more than 20 years of volunteering for Byron’s only community radio station.
The beloved Toasted presenter and trainer has been with the station since its early days back at the fondly remembered ‘love shack’ near The Rails.
She used to help raise funds by raffling off her famous marmalade and in her final program last Wednesday shared her secret winning ingredient: a good dose of Scotch whisky.
Members of the Bay FM family joined the last Toasted program in person and over the phone, although no one can quite pinpoint exactly how long Lady Marmalade has been on air – probably 25 years.
Something about those chilled-out community vibes!
Lady Marmalade says she will continue to volunteer off-air at one of the Shire’s charity op shops.
