Telling storics

 

A radio show doesn’t make an impact without listeners and Byrne’s shows have a loyal following who respond to her easygoing, music-centred enthusiasm, a skill which has been given recognition in the form of a place on the shortlist of the PPI Awards Radio DJ category this year for her TXFM show.

“One of the most important things for me as a presenter is telling stories around records, putting them in context. I remember playing Stand On The Word and telling people it was my grandad’s favourite tune when he first listened to me on Phantom FM. People still come up to me and say they love that story.”
