Bridget Ellen Looney(Breege)
Bridget came up The Mike O'Connor show around 1986 to advertise a benefit. Before she knew what was happening, she was answering phones and taking requests. Mike had a way of asking for help without asking. He wondered if she would be interested in taking on the phones and helping out with announcements. Breege has been on the air since. Originally from Belmullet, Co. Mayo, Ireland, Breege's connection to the Irish community in Chicago is legendary. She and her husband Tom owned a fantastic pub & music venue called The Abbey Pub for many years. They brought in fab bands and started the very first regular weekly Irish music Sesuin in Chicago.
