You will hear a radio interview with a young singer called Mandy. Hi Mandy. You started off as
a successful disc jockey and now you're a singer in a great new band. When did you get your
first job as a DJ? Well, when I finished school I trained as a nurse for a year, but I wasn't very
good at that. I'd always loved music and I wanted to save money to buy equipment, so I
started looking after elderly people. As soon as I had enough, I bought what I needed. I got my
first job as a disc jockey almost immediately, but then you started singing instead. How did
that happen? Well, I'd been a disc jockey for about four years, then last year. I read about a DJ
competition in Ireland and I entered. I did some live singing on stage that night and one of the
judges asked me if I'd be interested in singing professionally. I was very lucky really. So now
you're in a band called Dish. Tell us about your new record, the one that's in the shops now.
Yes, it's called Up and Down. It's about a girl who is never really happy with her life. She's
always up and down, wanting too much and never being satisfied. I'm not that kind of person,
fortunately, nor my friends. It does have a nice ending and you're working on a new CD. Yes,
but we haven't finished recording that yet. There are still two more songs to do, but I'm very
proud of it. It's traditional rock, but we've included some electronic music too to make it really
unusual. I just hope the public will buy it. We think it's great. And what kind of music do you
listen to at home? Last difficult. The music I like best has words that means something to me, I
suppose. I love dance music too, but you can't listen to it all the time. And I generally prefer
female artists to male, I think too. But that depends on the singer and your future plans. Ohh,
I've got so much work to do at the moment, television performances and concerts, it's it's hard
to plan. But I'd really like to own a nightclub one day somewhere great to dance. So that's my
next project. One day, perhaps I'll try to learn to play the guitar. That would be nice, but I'm
too busy to think about it at the moment. I can write and sing. That's what I do best. Well, lots
of luck with your new CD, and thanks for coming. You're welcome.
