Yet again Myles O’Reilly has captured something truly special. This time, it’s the final night on Donal Dineen’s radio show, Small Hours on Today FM. For fifteen years Donal provided our evenings with a soundtrack which has inspired and influenced so many Irish radio listeners and musicians.
I had lots of fun on DCUfm today, thanks to everyone who listened and got in touch and thanks to all the bands who sent me in their music for today’s show, had a lot of new music, which is great.

1.The Aftermath: In Loneliness lives Love
2. Liz Lawrence: Monday Morning
3. The Radioactive Grandma: What Are you Running From
4. Sailor and I: Tough Love
5. Foreign Slippers: Avalanche
6. Garbage: The Battle In Me
7. Funeral Suits: ALl those lonely People
8. Time is a thief: We’re not Strangers
9. Better Left Alone: Going For The Oscar
10. Breton Ordance Survey
11. Dutch Uncles: Fragrant
12. Futures Apart: Landslide
13. The Shoos: Say Something
14. The Plea: Oh Ah Yay
15. Handsome Furs: When I Get Back
16. Eric McGrath: Lets Get Curious
17. In The Willows: It’s Over
18. The Clap: One Fell Out of The Cuckoos Nest
19. Wonder Villains: Ferrari
20. RunawayGo: Delicate Man
21. JD McPhearson: North Star Girl

Backstage on DCUfm is back! This semester I’ll be broadcasting live from The Goldfish Bowl in The Hub every Thursday. It will be Thursday early evening. As Backstage revolves around the world of new music, both local and international we are now putting the call out. If you have a new release coming up, a new album, or gig you want to let people know about, Get In Touch!
Can you and would you like to come and join us in the studio for an acoustic song or two? Do you rap or beatbox? Get in touch! I would also like to video any performances in studio and put them on my youtube account with your permission of course.
To get involved all you have to do is send me an email : nessy(at)nessymon.com with Backstage in the subject bar, include a link to your music and a little bit about yourselves.
Looking forward to having you on DCUfm
