Jenny Huston (born 24 August 1973) is a Canadian presenter of radio and television in Ireland. She was disc jockey on RTÉ 2fm, an occasional presenter on RTÉ Radio 1 and a television presenter with channels operated by Raidió Teilifís Éireann.;[1][2] Huston presents an indie rock and pop music show[1] on Friday nights and a rock anthems show[3] which is broadcast on Sunday nights. A highlight of her television career was co-hosting RTÉ's Electric Picnic coverage with Tom Dunne in 2006.[4]
Huston's book In Bloom—Irish Bands Now was released on 27 November 2009.[10] The book features interviews with fifteen contemporary musical acts.[10][11] Several of the bands featured in the book accompanied her to the book's launch at Wicklow Street's Tower Records.[12]
She is a close friend of rival Canadian disc jockey Alison Curtis from Today FM. Huston showed Curtis a picture of Future Kings of Spain and said, "I think you'd like him [bassist, Anthony Hegarty]", with Curtis replying, "Oh I don't think so. He's kinda pretty".[16] Curtis met him later that night, then deciding: "Actually I do [like him]. I'll have a piece of that [Hegarty] please".[16] This piece turned into a 2007 marriage after a long-term relationship.[16]
