Description

If you're of the right age you'll remember Tom Dunne as the lead singer of Something Happens, and songs like Hello Hello Hello (Petrol) and Parachute.

He's been a radio presenter for years now, starting with 98FM's Totally Irish show, before moving to host Pet Sounds on Today FM, and he's been with Newstalk 106-108 since 2008.

We chat about how one particular song changed his life, inspired him to become involved in music, his early endeavours in a band that didn't make the grade, joining Something Happens, writing, recording, touring and working hard with them, and how when that faded he had to move into a new career as a broadcaster.

You can follow Tom on Twitter @tomhappens – and you can listen to his show every Monday - Thursday on Newstalk between 10pm and midnight.
