The one and only, Mark McCabe, creator of the iconic Maniac 2000 joined us this week. He told us how the number one Irish wedding song came to exist, what it felt like to be top of the charts and how he resented being seen as a one hit wonder. Mark compared the Dublin nightclub scene between when he was first coming up and now, and took us back to his pirate radio days. He ranked the worst types of people in the crowd at a DJ set and told us about his worst ever gigs.
