Aspiring local DJs will be afforded Athlone Community Radio (ACR ) airwave time for a three hour stint during the forthcoming May music marathon.
The 20-hour marathon will broadcast live on the airwaves from 6am on Friday, May 27 until 2am on Saturday, May 28.
Popular morning presenter Benny Cooney will commence proceedings from ACR's studios at 6am, followed by an eclectic mix of styles and personalities, including classical music with Kevin Free and the team from the St Hilda's Show.
At 2pm, the broadcast will move outdoors, where Kara Richards will introduce a host of local musical acts performing live from the Civic Centre. It will be back to the studio from 6pm for non-stop music and requests with Mel Rea, Anna Kavanagh, and reliving the music of the Jolly Mariner days with Noel Lackey up until 11pm. The party will then continue with live DJs until 2am.
If you or someone you know is developing skills behind the music decks, this is a great opportunity to gain experience and perform your work to a local audience.
