Stevie G is a highly regarded DJ and broadcaster with Red FM. Since the early ’90s, he has been a key figure in Cork’s music scene, performing at iconic club nights such as Sweat at Sir Henry’s, Mor Disco, Free La Funk, Yo Latino, and Jam, at venues like the Savoy and the Pavilion. Beyond DJing, he contributes to The Evening Echo and The Irish Examiner and is deeply involved in youth work. Through music workshops, he fosters creativity and expression among migrant communities and young people from disadvantaged backgrounds in Cork. In our conversation, we discuss his time spent learning to mix records in an empty nightclub, the mechanics and culture of pirate radio in Cork, direct provision, the importance of arts and cultural spaces in a city, streaming, and much more. I hope you enjoy and thanks for supporting local radio!
