100 Years of Music crew
Alan Byrne is the Station Manager of Dundalk FM 97.7 and one of its founding members, a Dundalk man who helped build the station from scratch in 2004 and has been at the centre of everything it does ever since — from writing and producing award-winning radio drama to presenting 5 Irish Tunes and mentoring generations of volunteer broadcasters.
John Englishby arrived in Dundalk from Navan in 1982 to teach Maths and Physics at St Mary's College and never left — bringing with him a lifelong passion for music, a deep love of Thin Lizzy, and enough curiosity about new Irish artists to fuel three Dundalk FM shows: Drive Time on Mondays, Odds and Sods, and Themed Tunes.
Paddy McEneaney, known to everyone as Paddy Mac, is the voice of Good Morning Dundalk — a born and bred Dundalk man, a former musician who played with bands across the town for decades, and the warm, familiar presence who has been starting the morning for Dundalk FM listeners every weekday at 8am for over twenty years.
Padraig Quigley is one of the most important people at Dundalk FM 97.7 — the voice of The Lunchbox every weekday from noon to 2pm, a sound desk trainer to generations of new presenters, a key figure in the station's pandemic Community Call response, and the person more new volunteers have turned to for reassurance and guidance than anyone else.
MaryRose Muckian presents Mix Bag on the first and third Wednesday evenings from 7.00 pm to 8.00 pm and contributes to Drive Time on Dundalk FM 97.7 — one of the station's most experienced and versatile volunteers.
David Larkin presents the Saturday Night Show on the second Saturday of every month and contributes to the Dundalk Lions Club At Your Service programme on Dundalk FM 97.7 — a presenter who joined the station in 2019 and whose commitment to community life extends far beyond radio, through his service as President of Dundalk Lions Club and Chair of dis ABILITY Louth.
Cathal McCooey is one of Dundalk FM's most versatile contributors, presenting Drive Time on Thursdays, contributing to Town Talk and the Irish Gigs Review Show, and bringing a deep knowledge of Irish live music and a creative investment in the station's development to everything he does across the schedule.
