The man ezeke

I remember this legend of a dj back on corks 96fm back around 2003ish.
I know he left for a dublin station.

Any ideas where he is now? Has he just disappeared?

On 96 he was great. Booyaka booyaka!haha

I was asking for him because I have a friend that used to live down here but is up in Dublin now for a good number of years. He said the man ezeke just disappeared off the radio!
Vanished!

Every Saturday night at 8.20,from the year 2000 to 2003, eddy grant I don't wanna dance would be played.what a guy!

Hes an absolute gent. Great fun on and off the radio. But would be great if he could have spun proper dancehall and reggae.

I remember him in Mallow during the folk festival in the late 80’s singing about the iron horse while she was in the crowd, I wonder did she grab him by the short and curly’s 😀😀😀

I'm interested to read, from John Creedon's tribute in the Irish Examiner, that The Man Ezeke did a stint with at least one Cork pirate (ERI).

He also did a weekly sunshine show on CUHFM in Cork University Hospital for a number of years.

Yes, I understand Ezeke had a weekend show on ERI for a time in the mid-1980s.

another tribute here and some audio of him when on Cork 96FM:
