Dave O'Roarty

“For as long as I can remember, I have been really influenced by the performing arts as an actor, director, and writer.

I love nothing more than being on stage or singing at an Open Mic event.

For the past few years, I have written and produced several radio plays and a docudrama based on The Whitechapel Murders File.

It has always been an ambition to present shows on the radio, which Vectis Radio has been kind enough to help me achieve.

Dave O: Writer, director, actor and poet – I just wish I could dance too!

  Our man on the ground Kieren is a bit of an Ash super-fan. So he was thrilled to sit down with the band prior to their Main Stage opening set, as they talked 30 years of excellent debut LP '1977', returning to Seaclose Park, and the night they played Ventnor Winter Gardens.
