Imagine you spent a lifetime writing songs and were then asked to retrace your life in music by telling the stories behind what you regard as your best songs. Well, that is the premise of Headful of Hooks, a brand-new music series presented and produced by Cathal Funge for Radio Nova.
Each episode will feature one well-known Irish songwriter from the rock and indie world. They will be invited to handpick six key songs from their back-catalogue and share some memories of the time and place in their life when each of those songs were written. Guests include Tom Dunne (Something Happens), Paul Noonan (BellX1), Gemma Hayes, Steve Wall (The Stunning & The Walls) and more, with each artist using their song selections to reveal personal stories, discuss musical influences and offer the listener a unique glimpse into their life as a musician.
Broadcaster, writer and lead singer in Something Happens, Tom Dunne handpicks six key songs from his back catalogue and shares some memories of the time in his life when those songs were written.
