Radio Lollipop at the Mater Children\u0092s Hospital enjoyed a live concert by local up and coming talents Zoe Giddings-Jones and Cassi Hilbers.<\/p>\n
Zoe, 18 and Cassie, 10 chose to visit Radio Lollipop to help bring smiles to children in hospital.<\/p>\n
\u0093I want to inspire young people to reach for their dreams, and thought Radio Lollipop would be a great charity to visit,\u0094 Zoe said.<\/p>\n
Zoe and Cassi played to a very enthusiastic studio audience who joined in with guitars, castanets and shakers. After the show the duo then went out to the wards to sing and hand out CD\u0092s to the excitement of the children.<\/p>\n
Radio Lollipop is a fully volunteer run organisation that provides care, comfort, play and entertainment to children in hospital.<\/p>\n
Zoe and Cassi met a year ago through Youtube where they share their video clips.<\/p>\n
\u0093We now have the same music teacher and go to the same production studio, we\u0092re just like sisters,\u0094 Cassi said.<\/p>\n
Zoe lived in Papua New Guinea where she found her inspiration to sing from a passionate music teacher who taught her to immerse herself in the culture and learn songs in different languages.<\/p>\n
Cassi\u0092s inspiration to sing comes from her father who started singing and playing guitar with her from a young age.<\/p>\n
Because the two girls have had such strong musical role models who have brought them a lot of joy they aim to inspire young people in the same way by visiting charitable organisations such as Radio Lollipop.<\/p>\n
