?? Patronising too whom??
weather i spell her name correctly or not, how does that enter into
me being so called by you patronising??
im merely using these boards too ask if anyone has more knowledge than myself about radio stations in my area.. im not being patronising or anything else too anyone , my personal taste is not spin, or i102
that just makes me different from people who that is there taste..
patronising.. i could be.. should i start with the definition of patronising, so you can see if your correct.. ( now I AM being patronising0 -

I didn't intend that post as the personal attack that you seem to have taken it up as - that's precisely why I mentioned that the post might seem "a little patronising" and phrased it back to you as a question.
But since you asked - yes, your post did come across as patronising; your statement "for those who don't know who [she] is....I rest my case" was at the very least a flippant dismissal of people with different taste to yours....plus the irony of the mis-spelling was impossible to resist; if you were indeed a fan of the lady in question, one would imagine that you would be able to spell her name.
I mean, I'm well able to spell "U2", and I wouldn't even describe myself as a "fan"
You certainly have a point in that there are LOADS of great bands and artists that are woefully served, with stations adding the latest Westlife or Rihanna tripe to their playlist - often without even listening to them prior to doing so - ahead of some excellent acts, but saying "if you don't know XXXX I rest my case" isn't going to endear anyone to your core (and somewhat valid) point of view.
Even without heading to foreign shores to find so-called R&B and alternative trendy-but-still-piss-poor tracks, there are HUNDREDS of brilliant acts here at home waiting to be "discovered" and / or get regular airplay: Nell Bryden, Neev, The Infomatics, Luan Parle, Failing Earth, Verfield, Vertigo Smyth, Wokajo, Joe Echo, Wallis Bird & Carla Merrigan to name but a few that I've come across over the past six months...
In fact, the only act worth it's salt that I've seen genuinely start to "make it" recently is The Script; hopefully they're the first of many......0 -

things get lost in the translation of text, as opposed too speaking..
if i came across as patronising, it was not intentional
i am going too attend a local music event at the end of october,
it seems that roots reggae has reached galway ( IMPRESSED!!)
so im going too a Rootical event at the black box in galway on 31st of october.
as for scanning, all i found was spin i102 and rte 1 and 2.
might need too invest in a internet radio and stop moaning really!! lol:)
oh and more music the gobby mouth lol.. im going too the rootical event all on my lonesome so watch the press lol0 -
