Introducing the Clare FM completely pointless but obligatory Presenter Profile Questionnaire; 
 

  • On-air at Clare FM since? October 2005 with this show.
  • What is your favourite Feel Good Song/Tune?: "Mary in the Wood" by Nora Cleary.
     

"If I caught Mary in the wood,
There I'd nail her if I could.
For half a crown I'd knock her down,
and play her concertina..."

From the pure heart of the Clare Tradition!

  • What's your most embarrassing moment on-air? When I wasn't supposed to be on air.  Chit- chatting with a quiz participant on the phone, while Co. Clare listened to the drivel...
  • Do you have any hidden talents?:  No. They're out there for all to see...
  • What is your favourite part of County Clare? Magherabaun.  The top of the mountain there - with Lough Graney on one side, Lough Derg on the other.  Just before the descent into Ballycroum.
  • Who would be your fantasy superstar interview?: Biddy Early, and Seán Nugent.
  • Have you ever told a lie and what was it? No. And it was about telling lies.
  • Finish this sentence in no more that 20 words - Listen to my show on Clare FM because: It ain't plastic.   You'll know you're in Clare.
