With creative writing and music her passions in life, Nadene made a beeline for Dublin after university because, she says, the music scene here is on fire! Originally from Nenagh in Co. Tipperary, she studied Journalism ‘up the road’ in UL. She loves nothing more than going to gigs and festivals, and discovering and blogging about up-andcoming bands. With Fresher’s Week kicking off around the country, she explores some of the quirkiest clubs and societies in various universities. She also brings you the latest equipment news in Hot Gear and highlights some of this fortnight’s best comedy outings in Laughlines.
