Mike McMahon / Presenter
Mike McMahon presents Mike’s Music Xpress on Dundalk FM 97.7 every Wednesday evening at 8.00pm, a programme that refuses to be confined to any single genre, era, or mood, moving freely between indie, alternative pop, punk, grunge, Cuban music, new Irish sounds, and whatever else catches Mike’s attention in a given week.
The show is sponsored by The Spirit Store, Dundalk’s beloved live music venue on the quays, which is a fitting partnership given that Mike’s Music Xpress and the Spirit Store share a fundamental philosophy: great music deserves to be heard, regardless of whether it fits a commercial radio format or not.
Mike has been broadcasting on Dundalk FM for a number of years and has built a loyal following among listeners who appreciate his eclectic taste and his genuine enthusiasm for music discovery. The show’s Facebook page, Mike’s Music Xpress, keeps that community connected between broadcasts and gives Mike a space to share music, thoughts, and conversations with the people who tune in.
Mike’s Music Xpress is for anyone who has ever turned off mainstream radio because it kept playing the same songs. This is the alternative.
