Howdy! Musical geek and aural entrepreneur Rob O'Connor here. Join us for 'Irish Beats' each Sunday where I'll be mixing up the finest green salad of choice homegrown ingredients. Do your friends think Irish music begins and ends with U2 and Sinead O'Connor? Well, one listen to 'Irish Beats' and they'll be turned onto sounds like Wallis Bird, O Emperor, Jape and Dirty Epics. We're also one of the only dedicated shows in the region focusing on new Irish talent, so when we say "you heard it first folks", we mean it!

So tune your radio to Beat 102-103 from 6pm on Sundays and give us a whirl. We take requests too!
