Mike McMahon brings an infectiously eclectic mix of indie, punk, alt-pop, world music, and new Irish singles to Dundalk FM 97.7 every Wednesday evening, in one of the most genuinely unpredictable and enjoyable shows on the schedule.
Mike’s Music Xpress is one of the most eclectic and enthusiastic music shows on Dundalk FM 97.7, presented every Wednesday evening by Mike McMahon. The show is a weekly celebration of music in all its variety, from alternative indie and alt-pop to punk, grunge, Cuban classics, and everything in between, with a particular passion for new Irish music woven throughout every episode.
The word eclectic gets used a lot in radio, but Mike genuinely means it. Mike’s Music Xpress does not fit neatly into a genre or a decade. It does not have a lane. What it has instead is a presenter with wide-ranging musical knowledge, genuine enthusiasm for discovery, and a refusal to be predictable. One week might take you from a brand new Irish indie single to a classic punk track to something from a completely unexpected corner of the world. That unpredictability is not a bug, it is the entire point.
Mike has been a fixture at
Dundalk FM for many years and is one of the station’s most committed and recognisable voices. His dedication to the show goes well beyond Wednesday evenings, with a strong presence on social media where he promotes upcoming episodes and keeps his audience engaged with the music he loves.
One of the things that sets Mike’s Music Xpress apart is its genuine commitment to new Irish music. Ireland has an extraordinarily vibrant music scene, and Mike takes his role in supporting it seriously, regularly featuring new Irish singles and giving emerging artists a platform on a station that has always cared about its local cultural scene. For Irish musicians looking for radio support and for listeners who want to discover what is happening in Irish music right now, the show is an essential listen.
Mike’s Music Xpress airs on Wednesday evenings at 8.00 pm on
Dundalk FM 97.7. You can follow the show via the
Mike’s Music Xpress (Facebook) page and keep up with Mike personally at
Eighties Mike (Facebook).
