Hi all I'm Laura, a blow-in from the South of England. I've been living in Mayo for the last 8 years. A lifetime metal/punk head I'm working at the Community Radio in Castlebar and have had the chance to start up a weekly show, The Moshpit.
I'm calling it a "heavy variety show" because it's a mix of all the crap I listened to as a teenager, and a bunch of new and old stuff from a whole range of genres – in essence an alternative outlet from all the country and pop that gets played on the radio!
I'd really love to get a focus on Irish bands and local talent and feature a homegrown band each week. I'm thrilled to have touched base with Atheos – really excited to present them this week on the show . So impressed and pleasantly surprised with the talent here in Ireland.
I originally planned to run the show for 6 weeks but have been enjoying putting the shows together so much I hope to continue for the foreseeable future. In saying this I need some material! I'm keen to hear from Irish bands – established or upcoming....as long as you fit the criteria of "heavy/rock/alternative" I'd really love to hear from you. Ideally I want this to form the core of the show, we're a community station and I want to play and promote Irish bands. Unfortunately all this covid crap prevents us from doing interviews etc at the station but that's something I want to do in the future as soon as things settle down. In addition, requests for tracks to play greatly appreciated! I had a complete hiatus from gigging/listening in general bringing up the family from 2010 so I've missed an entire decade of music...As an ole lady I'm trying my best to catch up but any help would be greatly appreciated!
Well, thanks for reading - I'm looking forward to delving into this awesome resource here -glad to see an old style forum still going!
The Moshpit airs weekly- Wednesdays at 10pm on 102.9fm in Mayo, online at CRCfm.ie / Tunein or catchup at mixcloud.com/TheMoshpit/
