BOB CONWAY.

Bob Conway (Real name Martin Cullinan) is currently a presenter with Irish national radio station Today FM and is a native of Ballymun, Dublin, Ireland.

Early career:

Bob's radio career started with pirate radio in his native Dublin, Ireland, in the 1970's. Starting his first broadcast at the age of 16 he was Ireland's youngest radio DJ at the time. Moving up through the radio industry Bob was co-owner of Dublin super-pirate Capital-Nightsky Radio - a two in one station which changed to an indie format after 6pm from being an album station during the day. Bob left this station with the intention of joining RTE 2FM which he successfully achieved in 1988. Bob worked with RTE for eleven years and became a household name as the 'Eye In The Sky' on the station's Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show. After RTE Bob went into independent radio working with LiteFM, Dublin's Country and East Coast FM before rejoining the national airwaves with Today FM.

Achievements:

Bob Conway graduated as an electronics technician in 1984 and worked in the video equipment industry for a number of years before realizing his career in radio. His qualifications meant he could also build and maintain transmission and studio equipment - a very useful skill-set in the pirate radio industry at the time. In the early 80's Bob was one half of a business partnership that saw him present LASER displays the length and breath of Ireland. The laser was a water-cooled 6 Watt argon-ion laser producing a very powerful green beam controlled by a Laser Systems Magnum dual-beam controller. In parallel with this, and to the current day, Bob has worked as a very successful club DJ.

Present day:

Bob Conway works with Today FM as a part-time presenter. He also runs All Event Productions, a successful event production business. Bob is the Stadium Announcer for Leinster Rugby and The IRFU.
