| Lish to host Canberra Carols by Candlelight on ABC Radio |
|
This year Canberra’s Carols by Candlelight will make history by shifting from a live stage event to a one-hour special broadcast on ABC Radio Canberra hosted by Breakfast presenter Lish Fejer.
Instead of waving candles on picnic blankets in Commonwealth Park, Canberrans are encouraged to sit on their balconies or in their lounge rooms, driveway or garden, wave a candle and sing along while listening to the ABC Radio Canberra carols special.
You can tune in to the one-hour broadcast on Saturday 11 December from 7pm on 666AM, online or via the ABC Listen app. |
