2011

On the show, we have Tony Deehan’s Gig Guide, Hugh’s Views and Website of the Week. It’s Worst Word Wednesday and Jack has glitter in his eye (not a euphemism) while he pretends not to have a hangover after turning up in the studio wearing a suit. A mix of weird and wonderful chat with some serious CHOONS!!!

On the show, we had the Battle Of The Bands 2011 winners, The Notas to talk about their upcoming gigs, LP and play two songs for us live in the studio. It was also Worst Food Wednesday and you can hear us gagging while Hugh drinks a jar of olive brine and the Notas enjoying our nasty picnic. We also had Hugh’s Views and Website of the week.

Comedian and political impressionist Alan Shortt joined the long list of names to come into the DCUfm studio on Tuesday 18th October to promote Kelloggs, give DCUfm a sneak preview into Newswires interview with Bertie Ahern and introduces us to Michael Noonan, Leo Varadkar, Simon Coveney, Barack Obama and then let’s us talk to Michael D. Higgins about his Presidential campaign.

Derek Collins then joined us on the phone to discuss his role in a show that has taken the West End by storm. Derek stars in Jerry Springer: The Opera (in the Grand Canal Theatre) which ran in the West End for over 600 shows and he tells us about the show, it’s controversies and let’s us in on a little discount for the groups who can’t afford to miss this show.

Presented and produced by Breffni Banks, Ian Carey, Andy Lowth and James Sweeney.

With thanks to Alan Shortt and Derek Collins for joining us in this interview and to Seamus Conwell for allowing the interviews to take place.
