Paul McLoone

Paul Martin McLoone (born 11 February 1967) is an Irish singer, former radio producer, voice actor and radio presenter best known for being the original co-creator and also co-writer of the very popular and highly successful Irish comedy sketch series, Gift Grub. He is also the lead vocalist/frontman of the Northern Irish pop-punk/new-wave band The Undertones, having permanently replaced Feargal Sharkey when the band reunited for a series of live appearances which occurred in November 1999. He hosts the weekday evening/night-time radio programme on the Irish national and independent radio station, Today FM titled "The Paul McLoone Show" which broadcasts from Dublin every Monday to Thursday from 9pm to midnight and which is well known in Ireland for focusing on less-known Irish solo singers or bands as well as bands and musicians from various countries such as America or Great Britain who are very popular in the alternate and indie rock world but who have yet to crack the mainstream line of the music industry with the show even playing songs from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s as well as songs from the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s.
