Tom Dunne - Musician - Radio Presenter


Tom Dunne graduated from UCD with an engineering degree, but his passions lay elsewhere. He is best known as lead singer with Dublin group "Something Happens" who were one of the country's shining lights in the early 90's with albums like 'Bedlam A Go-Go' and 'Stuck Together With God's Glue' and unforgettable singles like 'Parachute' and 'Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello (Petrol)'.

The group haven't recorded in years but are known to reform for occasional gigs in packed venues around the country.
Since the band 'split' Tom went about establishing himself as a music presenter on television and radio.

He presented Planet Rock Profiles for RTE Television and hosted his own radio show on a local Dublin station before he broke through at Today FM where Pet Sounds became a flagship of alternative programming.

The move to Today FM gave Tom a national audience for the first time on radio. He scooped a Hot Press award within months of starting Pet Sounds.

He has since moved onto the coveted breakfast show slot on Newstalk where his personality shines through and he gets the day off to a great start for his regular listeners.

In 2001, Tom won a Meteor Music Award for his special Pet Sounds Live from Witness show, and collected the same award a year later.

In 2002, Tom scooped the double of the Best DJ title at the Meteor Awards and the same prize from Hot Press magazine.
