Tom Dunne voted 'voice of Irish music'
Saturday July 14 2007


HE may have the ear of world leaders, but Bono has lost out in a poll of the most respected face of Ireland's music industry in a new poll.


Today FM presenter Tom Dunne has usurped music icons such as U2 and Van Morrison to be crowned the most respected individual in the highly competitive industry. The popular DJ, who rose to fame as the guitarist with the 1990s group Something Happens, came out on top with more than 57pc of music fans hailing him as 'the voice of Irish music'.

Dave Fanning came a close second, with 28pc of the vote in the poll conducted by mobile network 3 Ireland to celebrate the first birthday of 'The Hive', its made-for-mobile TV show. Dunne's colleague Ian Dempsey was deemed the 'most popular mainstream jock', with 20pc of the vote.

A surprise result showed concert promoter Denis Desmond as one of the main contenders for the title of the 'Most Respected Face of Ireland's Music Industry'.

U2 frontman Bono finally got a mention among other key influences in the Irish Music Scene, in addition to Ryan Tubridy, Donal Dineen, Louis Walsh, Westlife and Alison Curtis.

The Hive is presented by Tom Dunne and has featured 26 live acts since it hit the airwaves.
