CORK-BASED LISTENER WINS 2FM'S EUROSONIC TRIP COMPETITION

A huge congratulations to 2fm listener Megan Douglas who is the winner of our EuroSonic trip to Holland!


2fm will be flying lucky Megan and a friend to Groningen in Holland next week to attend this year's EuroSonic Festival.


The prize includes return flights to Schipol Airport in Amsterdam courtesy of Aer Lingus, three nights' accommodation in Groningen, passes to the EuroSonic Festival and tickets to the prestigious televised European Border Breakers Awards presented by Jools Holland. 


Megan, 24, who is originally from Dallas, Texas and is now living in Douglas, Co. Cork, entered the competition via RTÉ 2fm's website. Megan says she will be bringing her fiancé Michael on the trip with her and she is most looking forward to seeing Wicklow band 'God is an Astronaut' - 2fm's official selected band for this year's festival.


Megan says: "I'm delighted to have won the 2fm competition. My fiancé and I are so excited to go to the festival in Holland! I'm especially looking forward to seeing God is an Astronaut; they're such a great ban. 


2fm DJs Dave Fanning, Jenny Huston and Dan Hegarty will be broadcasting live from the heart of EuroSonic 2012 on Thursday 12 January and Friday 13 January, between 10pm and 1am, bringing listeners the best live sets, interviews and sessions from the cream of Irish musical talent such as Fionn Regan, Lisa Hannigan, James Vincent McMorrow, Funeral Suits, Toby Karr, Thread Pulls and Hello Moon amongst others.
