About Me:

Having spent many years presenting (and producing) programmes on RTE Radio 1, 2FM, RTE1 television, Network 2, TV3, and Eurosport in the nineties and noughties, it is a real thrill for me to be part of the Christmas FM team. Quite simply Christmas FM is the best radio station in the world and for one month every year the whole team does amazing work putting together stockingfuls of Christmas tunes and sending good cheer around the world from Ireland. It is a particular joy for me this year to have Temple Street Childrens University Hospital as our charity partner as I have been involved in fundraising with them before flying a small plane around Europe. This time rather than being in the air I’m on the air playing the music and sharing your messages.

The brandy butter on the christmas pudding….once a year is enough!

Trading Places, sort of Christmassy, but a great story and great fun.

My Favourite Christmas Tradition:

Listening to Christmas FM has become a hallmark of Christmas, – I wouldn’t be without it!
