Learning Waves Skillnet is delighted to bring to you some potential new voices for radio from our recent 3 week Music Presenter Bootcamp course. A total of 13 people participated in the 3 week course delivered by industry experts in Dublin. Participants had to complete a number of tasks during the 3 week course with the biggest task culminating in a one hour broadcast by each team commencing this week. The group was split into 4 groups and each group will now present a one hour progamme on FRQ.fm week beginning 11th July 2016. The first group to broadcast on Monday 11th July 2016 at 12 noon was the Festival FRQ's.

On Tuesday 12th July we heard from Urban Fairytales, featuring Garrett Mulhall, Andrew Buck and Aishling O'Hanlon who brought us an interview with up and coming band, The Stranger Phases and an exclusive interview with Nicky Byrne. On Wednedsay 13th July we heard from 'the Happy Hour' team featuring David Lehane, Sara McNamara and Tomie James who will told us about the up and coming Festival of Curiosity and an interview with Totally Wired.
