About Me:

I’m known as ‘Festive Phil’ and I first joined Christmas FM in 2017. When I was growing up it wasn’t unusual for me to pull out the Christmas tree for decoration in mid-summer!

I first became involved in pirate radio in Limerick City, presenting music and sports shows on CCR and Sound Channel. The radio bug bit again in recent years on Galway’s student and alternative community station, Flirt FM. In my spare time, I love to attend live music gigs and I’m a passionate rugby fanatic.
