Brian Butterly

I joined Spirit Radio in October 2017. However, I began my radio career in May 1996 at age 17. My first show with Spirit was on Saturday Breakfast 7 to 9am, however I soon progressed onto the Big Lunch, Saturdays 12 to 3pm. Before Spirit Radio, I was involved in the temp station The 90s Network, as CEO.

I currently live in Dublin with my wife and 2 kids and spend a lot of time in Wexford during the summer months.

Favourite Bible Verse

Corinthians 13: 4-7 – Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”

Favourite Spirit Radio Song

Zach Williams – Old Church Choir

I like this not only because it was the first songs that I played on air but because I enjoy the beat and the positive feel from the song.
