Donal Dineen is an Irish radio presenter, photographer, film maker and former television presenter from County Kerry. He currently presents an assortment of electronica and world music on his Small Hours (formerly Here Comes the Night) late-night radio show on Today FM. He is also known for presenting the now defunct No Disco TV series on Network 2.
Career
Dineen studied communications in Dublin City University. It was here that he first picked up a camera as it was part of his course. From this point he developed a fascination with photography. He began collecting visuals, some of which found their way into his later work. He foraged around his home in Kerry and compiled some of this work into an exhibition for the Galway Arts Festival in 1993, called This Storm is an Angel.
Musically, Dineen is credited with breaking David Gray amongst other artists in Ireland. [1] His programme, Here Comes The Night, was first aired on the opening day of Today FM's existence, 17 March 1997, and continued broadcasting on a national level for exactly seven years. [2] Having only local radio experience in Kerry, on his first day with Today FM, Dineen got into difficulties with Eamon Dunphy's delay button.[3] He now presents Small Hours between Monday - Thursday from midnight - 02:00. On 30 December 2007, The Small Hours had a two-hour radio special broadcast from the living room of David Gray's London home, where Gray and Liam Ó Maonlaí traded songs and stories on the piano and acoustic guitar, "intermittently picking their Desert Island discs for Dineen to spin". [4] Dineen also had a line-up in the Body & Soul area of Electric Picnic 2008. [5] Amongst his recent admirers are the actress and puppeteer, Medb Lambert [6] and Jenny Jennings, the programme director of the Dublin Fringe Festival. [7]
