Mark McCabe
Apart from being a hit recording artist in his own right, Mark McCabe is a vital component in 2FM’s influential and authoritative dance team. A DJ since before he was even a teenager, his record career saw him team up with Jay Cisco as the tribal techno unit Digitribe and enjoy a massive Irish hit with the chart-bending single ‘Maniac 2000’. More recently McCabe added to his army of fans with the acclaimed album Music From The Fourth Place. He has tucked several awards under his oxters and, as if to prove he’s no dance stick-in-the-mud, his production company Future Code has handled work for The Devlins, Sinéad O’Connor and Autamata.

Bren Berry
Having been a key figure with Dublin rock band Revelino and now the chief booker of acts with Aiken Promotions, Bren Berry has a wealth of experience from both sides of the fence. He has been a major force in the success of the annual Electric Picnic in Laois, and has over the years dealt with an impressive range of acts, from Bob Dylan and Alanis Morissette to Justin Timberlake and Flaming Lips. He was heavily involved in booking the acts for the Live At The Marquee gigs in Cork and has worked closely with a number of Irish acts, including Christy Moore.

Nikki Hayes
Nikki Hayes is one of the few women to have conquered the generally male preserve of Irish pop and rock radio, and her voice is now a key feature on 2FM. She brings to her radio work an instinctive understanding of the medium of live radio, combined with an in-depth knowledge of pop and rock music that many of her male counterparts struggle to match. Her talents aren’t just confined to radio, as Hayes has also presented The Sunday Morning Show on RTE 2, suggesting that both media might have to compete for her services in the coming years.
