Thanks people for the heads up re Marty's week off.

Sorry my mistake, we're through... Happy Marty

Heard a few minutes of this mornings show with Trish Taylor.
In an 8 or 10 minute stretch from just before 9 am we had:
'The Big Rock Candy Mountain' sung by Burl Ives then some overplayed crap from the Carnival of the Animals followed by a song from The Jungle Book.

For F*ck's Sake!

It matter's not whether Marty is there or not anymore.

The cancer has spread everywhere.

Time for an assisted death for Lyric.

I feared the worst when she mulled a little too long over that 'missing word' contest answer (mountain) and instead of choosing to segue "The Mountains of Mourne" or the other hint (which escapes me now) she decided to "do a Marty" for some strange reason and went with Burl Ives which cued my exit so I fortunately missed her Whelan moment.

Otherwise though, her morning selection was pleasant enough.

Hopefully the faux pas was a minor hiccup, and who knows, Mr. Wannabeewogan might just become so engrossed with Eurovision that he may come back with the desire to make a move to 2FM.

Heard some of his "commentary" on the Eurovision last night.

BEYOND cringeworthy, embarassing and seriously dreadful.

Who exactly is responsible for employing this man? I mean, is there a Head of Presentation in RTE? Who is accountable for employing this awful, unlistenable "broadcaster"?

RTE's Senior Management have made a serious error of judgement in letting this man anywhere near a microphone. No one seems to care, and the listener is extremely badly served.

Yvonne23R · 15-05-2013, 18:36

Trish was trick acting today on the programme.

I was in Supervalu this morning early when Trish was on when I heard her mention Hugo at around Hugo time, and I thought she was going to read it out. But she was playing the theme music from a film named "Hugo" which I didn't know. But it was funny to get it just at the time. I think she knew what she was doing!!

I wish she had Marty on the line to give a full run down on the Eurovision last night because he must have the "All The Goss" on what goes on behind. He did a great job on it and made it interesting. He was sitting next to the group from Denmark (the Danes). (The interval act wasn't a patch on Riverdance and Michael Flatley though.)

Nice job by Lorcan Murray this morning. I listened for longer than I have done in years. Probably Lyric's best bet in the breakfast slot.
Nice voice, genial, a better knowledge of the classical stuff.

Playlist still frequently terrible though. Too much novelty crap.
Ethel Merman played about 10 past 8 or so. Awful, awful stuff.

It's a known fact that the only persons who can stand Ethel Merman singing are:

1. Profoundly deaf people
2. Some Homosexuals
3. The dead

The producer/director who persists in programming this rubbish must be in one of those categories!

Yvonne23R · 16-05-2013, 19:33

I am just about to sit down with the kids to enjoy the Eurovision on TV with Marty, so I don't want to say too much here. Lorcan Murray was great today. He's a bit like Marty Whelan in how he goes about it. I was hoping he would have Hugo time actually but maybe Marty keeps them all for himself. He was saying that Marty was having a good "lie in" in the bed in Sweden this morning.

We loved the song by Ethel Merman too while we were having the brekky. But seriously I think it is terrible to say that about deaf people and dead people and Homosexuals. I know they are in music and everywhere. I even work with two homosexuals at work and there are women too. But they're nice and I have no problem with them. And I do not think that they follow Marty -- or Ethel!!!

I don't know why Trish wasn't on this morning?

Expunge · 17-05-2013, 10:44

"Lorcan Murray was great today. He's a bit like Marty Whelan in how he goes about it."

Yvonne/Hugo, I was being complimentary about Lorcan, why must you insult the poor man with comparisons to Mr Whelan?

Yvonne23R · 21-05-2013, 19:35

Ah come on! He was good with the Hugh Laurie moment today singing. And all the talk about Liberace in the new film. And General Luxury-Yacht. Lorcan is good but he wouldn't be able to do that. Marty Whelan has even been able now to get the new girl from AA to get into the spirit of the programme. Did Lorcan have Neven on on Friday?

With all this 'entertainment' going on, it's no wonder the whole facking station forgot Wagner's bi-centenery.
Radio 3, Classic FM all full of it. Not one programme or special devoted to Wagner this week. Incredible.
Love Wagner or hate Wagner - he is a major figure in music and it not being marked in the week of the 200th anniversary of his birth is just amazing!

When it's Nelson Riddle's anniversary or Val Doonigan's birthday, there'll be a bigger hullabuloo.
Shower of gimps running Lyric.

Unfortunately the search engine pages on the Lyric computers are programmed to avoid composers like Wagner. Val Doonican's jumper has it's own entry and Hugoes where no one else can. As for Ella and James Taylor - they are classics or classical in their own right in Lyric eyes. I opt for Pure on Dab now when I want non stop classical music when I can't access my internet options.

You are all wrong.

They had a lot of Wagner on Lyric this week. Liz Nolan did her special on him. Marty Whelan played him. We even heard George Hamilton playing him so there is that proved. It wasn't Nelson Riddle's anniversary today but it was someone else's and of course he played the music. That's what people have come to expect. (I switched off during the Neven Maguire interlude.

I put the kettle on when that starts and have my tea and by the time I'm onto my second cup and switch it on it's AA Routewatch time and I don't have to stomach it. They had a nice piece with the young lady from AA today with their colleague.)

I think they did something in the Concert Hall as well in the concert last week on Wagner and this was on the air.

He was telling us that Burt Bacharach is 85 and is still on the road. This is good for one of the "Greats." I hope he keeps it up.

Expunge · Today, 07:58

All wrong, is it Yvonne/Hugo?
Liz Nolan did not have a Wagner special last week. In the usual Tales from the Opera slot, she presented an abridged version of Tristan in her usual part hysterical, part over-sexualised delivery.
Marty played some Wagner. Whoopdedoo! Between Michael Jackson and Matt Munroe I suppose.

Fact is there was no special programme to mark the bi-centenary of the birth of Wagner on the national arts and music channel.

We heard more - far more- this week about the wedding of an AA Roadwatch announcer. Good luck to her and her new husband, but why was it all over Lyric at morning time?

Maybe a new director of Radio at RTE might make someone in Lyric see sense and then Marty can sling his hook and Hugo/Yvonne's dreadful unfunny stories can be binned for good. Unless you can get some community radio in Wicklow to air them, which is doubtful.
