Hello Hello Hello Tom Dunne!
Play • 59 min
Tom Dunne enjoyed great success as the front man of Something Happens. The band had a string of hit singles in the charts, including Parachute and hello hello hello,  and they played to packed houses all over the world. But there came a point, as there does with many great bands, where they  decided, for various reasons,  to stop recording albums and touring the world. Since then, Tom has become a hugely popular broadcaster on Today FM and, more recently, Newstalk, and he’s also a dab hand at writing – he has so many stories to tell! In our chat on this episode, Tom tells me about the great times they had on the road touring with some music industry legends, he reveals the reason that they decided to call it quits as a band, gives me his thoughts on why some bands become really successful and others don’t, talks about his life in broadcasting and journalism in more recent years, and we share some lovely memories of the great Tony Fenton. COMEDY: As ever we have a brand new comedy sketch, exclusively for you as a loyal listener to The Mario Rosenstock Podcast. On this episode, we cross over to Russia where the government are very worried about something, and they think a well known organisation in Ireland might be able to help. I hope you enjoy this one, and if you ever feel like getting in touch you’ll get me at mariorosenstock@gmail.comMarioProduced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand | www.audiobrand.ie Hosted on Acast.
