Longford presenter Aoife Carberry is one of the many volunteers who are devoting their time on-air to radio station, Christmas FM.
Aoife says working with Christmas FM combines two of here greatest hobbies; writing, and Christmas. I started with Christmas FM in 2017 and I am honoured and excited to be part of the team.
A Library Assistant, a Gaeilgeoir, a Journalist, and a semi-professional Christmas Enthusiast, Aoife adds, My bitmoji has worn a Christmas Tree since 2017, and I single-handedly ensure that Michael Bublé receives royalties from his Christmas album all year round.
The Ivy Sisters win the Aldi Christmas FM Song Contest
Mele Kalikimaka by Wexford based group The Ivy Sisters have been announced as the winners of The Aldi Christmas FM Song Contest for 2020.
Now in its thirteenth year, the song contest, on Ireland’s Christmas radio station, attracts hundreds of entries each year – vying to be crowned the winner by Christmas FM’s extensive national and international audience.
The Ivy Sisters are made up of three women living in Wexford Town, Aileen Donohoe, Jilly Cox and Sharon Clancy who formed in 2019.
Due to the pandemic, they were forced to delay their plans to launch on the live scene so winning the song contest has been a great way to end the year for them.
