Radio Broadcasting


I've been involved in radio since 1978, most recently since 2005, across a variety of programmes and production and documentary making.  I've presented and produced a wide variety of radio shows across music, news, current affairs, religious programming and sports in both Irish and English. 

Since 2005, I've presented and produced a wide variety of radio shows across music, news, current affairs, religious programming and sports in both Irish and English. In 2020, I was shortlisted for an IMRO Radio Award and was nominated for the Hot Press Radio DJ awards in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and won 3rd place in the 2024 Regional DJ Of The year award.

I was also nominated for an Oireachtas award for Irish Language Broadcasting in 2022.

Ceol Anocht


If you're submitting music for the Ceol Anocht show please sent it via email to martinbridgeman@kclr96fm.com

With the volumes of great new Irish music coming at us from all directions it may be a while before I can get back to you. I try to reach on every track but...I try to keep an eye on the mailbox regularly but can't guarantee an immediate response.

Equally, I can't guarantee to respond to every email, much as I would like to.

Please see the show page (at the link below) to get a sense of the genres of music I play on the show and for the essential information I'll need if I play it. My show is not what you'd call daytime but it is an eclectic mix  

I publish the playlists after each show so you'll get a sense of the styles of music I play. 

A bio/press release is essential, as is audio (WAV as a preference, download links are fine, NOT streaming links or Youtube)

Please provide ALL social links and check that all links work. It'll help us both.

I sometimes send emails early or late in the day, and on occasions at the weekend, to fit around my other commitments. Please do not feel obliged to reply to me outside of your usual working hours.
