Annie Mac Chats To ilikemusic.com
Annie Mac is engaging. Not only does she have fantastic hair and style, she spins superb tunes and has a gorgeous Irish accent, you want to hear what she has to say and what she has to play. So we did. ilikemusic.com caught up with Annie Mac after witnessing her fabulous afternoon set at Homelands 2005.
Coming from a large musical family in Dublin Annie's first job in the industry was as a promoter at Shine, Dublin's biggest techno club. There she was inspired by the likes of Laurent Garnier and Justin Robertson to go out and buy her first set of decks and subsequently taught herself to DJ.
"I realised that my three favourite things in life were music, clubbing and talking shit. So it made sense to pursue a career in music radio and immerse myself in it," says Annie.
By the time she approached Radio 1, Annie was juggling three jobs - a freelance broadcast assistant at BBC London, a radio and TV plugger and also worked at the Student Broadcasting Network producing and presenting two specialist music shows. Now you can hear her presenting the Annie Mac show on Radio One on Thursday evenings from 9pm til 11pm, wedged comfortably in between the wonderful Zane Lowe and brilliant Rob Da Bank.
