I'm beginning to like 90's music, i think!

I was born in the 90's so presenting a 90's music show is kind of ironic. I was on-air for 3 hours tonight with non-stop 90's music from 7-10pm. 

I'm not too familiar with that particular music era. Admittedly, i like most of it but i wont lie, there a lot of the songs that I've literally never heard before. 

It was funny, there was a particular song on my list tonight that i wasn't very familiar with - I had to laugh when I played it because i had a Doogle from Father Ted moment (you were wearing your blue jumper). I hadn't a clue what the song was by its title but once it started I knew it straight away, if that makes sense! 

The 90's was a great time, the music is very catchy and I'm beginning to listen to it more. There are a few songs that I have to admit went onto my YouTube playlist in the last couple of weeks - just songs I hadn't heard of before and that I instantly liked. 

Most people my age would jump at the chance to get their voice on the radio and I really do it enjoy it, playing 90's music non-stop for 3 hours showed me how much I enjoy it.

So, with one 90's show done, here's to this night next week when hopefully I discover some more great tunes from 20 years ago!

The first is always the worst...or, so I'm told!

So, here goes.....I started college in September, 2014. Since then, I've wanted to blog - but where do you start? Well, as a student of Media and Public Relations blogging shouldn't be a problem, us folk are meant to be interested in writing and expressing opinions, I think! I read other blogs online and they all make sense, the content is interesting, relevant and amusing, at times. I feel I will never have anything interesting or worthwhile to blog about, I mean the life of a Media and PR student isn't all that exciting!
Outside of college, I work in my local radio station, KCLR96fm. I'm currently enjoying buckets of farming fun producing the 'Glanbia Farm Show'. I also read the news at weekends, present sports bulletins throughout the day and the odd time I can be heard presenting music shows. I remember reading my first news bulletin, my diction wouldn't have been the best, being from Carla (Carlow) you tend to mispronounce words. I'm pretty sure I said waaaherford (Waterford) and buher (Butter), don't ask about the butter story! That's where the name of this first blog came from because I remember coming out of the news studio and saying to a colleague, 'first is always the worst'? - thankfully, I've managed to lose the diction problems and have been reading bulletins for the last 2 months without breaking anything (touches wood).
I will probably look back on this particular blog in a few weeks, months or probably hours and cringe about how stupid it sounds, but look, everyone has to start somewhere!
