    I'm listening to Christmas fm via the app on my Samsung J3 phone as it's not available on fm in my area but every ten minutes or so the app keeps cutting out. I don't know if this is due to Wi Fi black spots or maybe a technical glich on the app. Has anybody else experienced any issues regarding the app?

    App is a bit buggy for me but I’m using an app called TuneIn and it’s coming through loud and clear on that.

    The app is a bit rubbish tbh. There's an internet blackspot outside my office and once it hits that I have to close the app and open it again. Other apps will just come back on once I'm through the blackspot. I'll definitely use TuneIn from now on. Thanks Loughc!

    Please remember they will continue live online and on the app until New Year’s Eve.

    They’re hoping to raise €15k more between now and then. But yes it’s very sad it’s coming off the fm :(

    Was at the Wild Lights in the zoo this evening. Got back into the car and turned on the radio to be greeted by ... silence :(

    Oh well, as Sharon Shannon sang a good few too many times this year: "We'll be doing it all over again, all over again" next year

    Is that the highest they've raised yet?
    Even so, a fantastic achievement.

    Brilliant. Don't mind admitting it was a charity close to my heart so delighted to see them break the 400k mark.
