Shaun Keaveny - 07/12/2010

Do you want too much chat, not enough music and too many adverts? Try someone else. Want the perfect balance of brilliant alternative music and waking witticisms? Try us. A rib-tickling satirical romp through the day's news and events, to the perfect morning soundtrack for anyone music-lover; from northern soul to new folk; rock 'n' roll to indie disco. New tracks from the likes of Friendly Fires and Foals are nestled in next to the back catalogues of Hendrix and The Smiths. Shaun is also joined live in studio by Matt Everitt for an irreverent take on the day's music news. Thursday also sees newly crowned Best Newcomer Winner Roisin Conaty in the studio chatting about her winning show Hero, Warrior, Fireman, Liar. The show was written after she received an invite to give a talk to new graduates at her old convent school. After tiring herself with a dance of validation, she took it as an opportunity to evaluate her life so far. What pearls of wisdom did she have to share? What happened to her dreams and why is she living with her Nan at the age of 30? Having recently appeared on Radio 4's Sony Award nominated Lawrence and Gus: Hearts and Minds we're pretty sure she'll be a great guest! Shaun Keaveny: never knowingly over-played.
