My Debut as an MC for the Lily Sessions Stage at The Playing Fields
I had never been an MC before so to be asked was a real honour especially as I would be not only representing the Lily Sessions at The Playing Fields, but also my home town of Clane too!
Before it all kicked off over on my Instagram and Facebook pages, I had a chat with some of the acts who took part including Eoghan Burke aka FiaRua, Step N’ Wolf (Stephen Breen and Michael Wolf), Paddy Behan aka Paddy McClane, Paul Whelan and Andrew Keeling.

I would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to Josh Fogarty and Niall Finnegan for asking me to be their MC over the two days. It was such an amazing experience and I had such a great time!
………..hopefully I will see you there next year!

As Saturday mornings go, Saturday 20th May 2023, was one of the BEST because I was live on Virgin MediaOne’s morning show Ireland AM with Martin King and Elaine Crowley.
And not only did Martin and Elaine interview me but I also had the opportunity to interview them both too!

Céire O’Donoghue and I very excited about he Media One episode!
I was delighted when Céire asked me to be a co-host with her on an episode of the KidCast Podcast…….and the topic for the episode is my favourite – The Media!
Myself and Claire Byrne!
As part of the episode I got to chat with some great kids including brothers Leo and Eli in New Zealand about their YouTube channel Leo and Eli Adventures and to top it all off I interviewed RTÉs amazing broadcaster Claire Byrne!
Along with talking about DJ for a Day, we also spoke about a completion they had for a Family pass to Bloom and to be a DJ for a Day at Bord Bia Bloom!
We had the best time and I definitely had the bug for TV as does Elise!
As I was heading to swimming one Friday, I was delighted to see a message on Twitter from The Old Man’s Podcast inviting me to be a guest on his show!

I won’t lie I was a little nervous at the start being interviewed LIVE on the podcast but I soon felt at ease and I had a brilliant time talking to ‘TOM’, Shonda Sinclair and Eric Kirk.
When Geraldine Walsh asked me if I would like to take part in a piece she was writing for The Irish Times about young podcasters in Ireland I was SO excited!
When we spoke for the piece I had such a great time talking with Geraldine and I was delighted to read her piece when it was published on 31st January 2023 which you can read here!
When I saw a tweet on 18th August by Kathy Clugston presenter of The Ticket on BBC Radio Ulster tagging me to say that Karishmas’s Worldwas going to be reviewing my podcast, I couldn’t believe it!
