EarlyBird - 1st October Lucy Carroll
Yes, it was in that very moment when Blur made the decision to move forward the release date of their single Country House to the very same day as Oasis were due to release Roll With It, all gloves were off. The media spiralled into a frenzy in the summer of 1995, and it became forever known as ‘The Battle of Britpop’, and in doing so, a new music movement […]

Freedom FM is leaving the studio, and getting out into the fresh air this Saturday, the 30th of July, for the Tymon Park Food and Craft market. We’ll be broadcasting live, and playing the best music from the 90s and noughties. There’ll be a great selection of hot food, artisan, craft stalls, and entertainment for the entire family. The Market takes place between 11 am and 4 pm at the Castletymon […]
Only the '90s and noughties can be remembered as two decades in the right place, at the right time to steward the Millennium’s night of passage. A euphoric and fearful time where 1,000 years in passing reached its date of reset. Legion of Mary prayer groups went head to head with world extinction theorists. One side prayed for the continuance of life after the stroke of midnight whilst the other […]
We still have the music but what about those 90's venues that contained our teenage spirit? The Belgard Inn Who recalls Nirvana's 'Smells like Teen Spirit' lifting the Old Belgard Inn up in rapturous song at 1am, or the tomfoolery of those carefree nights? Tallaght teens, queuing to gain entry, with their 'Rachel' haircuts at the mercy of the elements. Cascadas 'Everytime We Touch' bellowing out into the night […]
Dublin teens sported those Adidas tearaway tracksuit bottoms of the 90's without a care for athleticism. Three bold stripes and a legs length of snap buttons guaranteed the envy of the O'Neills cargo pants crowd. A good level of trust was essential when wearing these – as one’s friends could come along and rip the bottoms open, exposing legs, and with stronger conviction - your thighs and all. Yet fashion […]
As most of you will know already, Freedom FM started as a pirate radio station back in the day (1995) and was operating outside of the law until we were closed down on that fateful day (Tuesday 20th May 2003) known as black Tuesday. This was the day when Comreg (the Irish governing body of TV/radio) got control of the FM band; not just in Dublin but countrywide. Although pirate […]
It was 1995 when I first saw a live gig by Ultra Sonic [US]. On 27th December 1995, I boarded a chartered bus from the Square Shopping Centre car park in Tallaght, Dublin circa 6.30 pm, destined for N.E.C. Navan, County Meath. Fortunately, I had a V.I.P. pass giving me [triple AAA] Access-All-Areas, even backstage! When we arrived, my friend and I got to hang out with the performing artists, […]
If you had read our article on Lovers and Friends Festival 2022 you'll know that i was very, very skeptical about this event but was also going to be in the queue to buy a ticket. For this to be true, i was more than willing to risk a couple hundred to avoid FOMO. It certainly looks like this is legit. Many more stars have now confirmed and the event sold […]
When i first saw this advertised in 2020, my immediate thought was that this HAD to be another Fyre Festival. How could anyone (Even Snoop) put a line up like this together? If it's too good to be true, it usually is! I trawled through social media accounts and I wasn't alone with my suspicions as everywhere was talking about it but saying that there was no way on earth […]
Most Requested with Ryan Phillips is the perfect show for anyone who loves to hear the most popular songs of the week.
