A Gameboy for Christmas 1990. I wasn't expecting that!
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE CHILDHOOD MEMORY OF CHRISTMAS?
Getting a written letter from Santa Claus himself.
NAME TWO CELEBRITY GUESTS, ALIVE OR DEAD, THAT YOU WOULD INVITE TO YOUR CHRISTMAS PARTY, AND WHY?
Fatboy Slim & Bob Marley.
Fatboy Slim because he's the DJ that inspired me to DJ.
Although I had already started out hearing him for the first time for me was something completely different and vibrant - he did just click with me.
I've always loved Bob Marley's outlook on life and what he wrote about so I'd happily spend the evening with them.
SOMETHING THAT'S NOT A CHRISTMAS TRADITION, BUT IT SHOULD BE. WHAT IS IT?
'A memory swap tradition'. Everyone at the table shares one favourite memory from the year - but it has to be about someone else in the room.
It turns the day into a celebration of each other's moments.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE THING ABOUT A WEST CORK CHRISTMAS?
Visiting Santa in the model railway village in Clonakilty, the turning on of Christmas lights in Kinsale and watching my wife swim in freezing cold water on Christmas day at the beach while I'm all nice and warm.
IF SANTA COULD GIVE TALENTS AS GIFTS, WHAT ONE WOULD YOU LIKE AND WHY?
To be able to wrap presents that don't look like I had my eyes closed when I did it.
WHAT WAS THE BEST THING ABOUT 2025?
Watching my kids grow up. Roll on 2026!
HEALTH, WEALTH AND WELLBEING ASIDE, WHAT ARE YOUR HOPES FOR 2026?
Arsenal to lift a trophy and Ireland to qualify for the World Cup!
