We love to hear what our favourite Irish celebrities did before they became household names, and Neven Maguire has revealed what he worked as before becoming a chef.
The TV cook was a guest on the Tommy Tiernan show this weekend when he revealed he used to be a DJ in nightclub in Enniskillen.
The 46-year-old shared that he left school at 16 to train as a ched but but seems he got a little sidetracked at first when he started DJing.
Speaking about this time he said; “I’m a big fan of dance music I have to say, and when I was young, training to be a chef it would be on. I used to do a bit of DJing years ago.”
“When I was training, I used to do a bit of DJing up in a nightclub in Enniskillen. I had my desks and I used to go up to Dublin every two weeks and get dance music.”
“I know you’re frowning, I loved it, I just got a buzz from it. I just fell in love with dance music, I was all dance music. I had 2000 records at home.”
Neven went on to share that just how some people have found the time to start cooking again during lockdown, he has been able to get back into music again.
“I just love it, the high energy, when you’re in service or whatever, there is a great buzz from it. I have always loved it. Even when I’m driving up to Dublin I’d be playing dance music and just enjoying it. I always enjoy it.”
“I’ve reconnected with it, the way people have reconnected with food I’m having great fun with the decks at the moment.”
