About


Shane has been working in Youghal Radio as a hobby for over 17 years. It all started when Shane a singer songwriter tried to get his own songs played on radio only to find that the main stations at that time would not accept music on tape or vinyl but on the rather expensive format CD and even then unless you were an established artist your music would not be played.

When Youghal Radio started in his home town he joined the station with the sole intention of promoting Irish music from rock to traditional, indie to punk. As he said himself on his first program I dont care what format your music is in, record, tape, cd, old 8 track, video tape, Any format including live will do, as for the acts I will do my best to play everything from rap, punk, rock, ska, indie, country, traditional, ballads, classical even mime it does not matter as long as your Irish or playing in Ireland or at the very least touring some part of the country, The only criteria is that you must have some connection with us here.

And so the Local Music scene radio show was born and true to his word Shane had all those listed above on his show even the world champion Yo Yo expert giving a demonstration in studio to the listeners.

I have met so many wonderful people down through the years and interviewed so many legends its hard to believe. From Christy Hennessey to Aslan from Boyzone to the local one man band everyone is welcome. If you know of any artists looking to get an interview contact Shane to arrange an interview.

Over the last few years Shanes show has broadened out and he interviews many different people each week but always keeps a slot for his musical guest on each and every Friday.
