So to be clear, the Christmas FM app stays the Christmas FM App. We don't want to disappoint those who listen to Christmas music all year round. Yes they do exist and yes im always amazed by the figures.

Great to hear. I only dip in and out during the year until I go full time in late November. However I'm sure there are some hard core who going full time all year.

Me too, I did have a slight lapse and listened to Fairytale of NY, just once on youtube (mainly because we had been talking about it on here last week)

I remember the first time I heard Christmas FM

I was driving the back road's between Kinvara and The Burren Perfumery couldn't get a signal for a radio station, I hit the search button and it landed on Christmas FM

It was a blustery sleety damp cold afternoon, I remember it well.

A nice way to spend an afternoon driving through the Burren

I usually try to wait until Dec. 1st but must admit I gave in for the train journey home from work last Friday. It was so wet, cold & miserable I couldnt resist putting on my christmas playlist.

I did skip FONY though, that has to wait until December.

Listening to ChristmasFM on the app and there is a DJ speaking between songs...asking for requests and donations for their official 2019 charity Barretstown... Is this a drill.....or a nod to the early users... Lovely cold day for listening to Christmas tunes !!

Listening into the test broadcast now and heard a song I’ve never heard before. So excited about the launch!

Hoping they play Tom Jones and Cery's Matthew this year, I just can't fathom that it gets less requests than the least requested song on the station as claimed.

HA, likely story indeed

I wonder will that McDermott snowflake and his ilk be back on a crusade against FONY this year again?

Jude13

I shall be requesting it, I am sure its a supply and demand as the money is for charity. Missed the hu-rah about FONY.

Anyway, baby its cold outside.

Essentially Eoghan McDermott thought he could piggy back on the baby it’s cold outside movement and get himself famous and FONY banned from radio as it contained a slur word against homosexuals.

He got absolutely roasted for it and he put his tail between his legs and tried to brush it off by going ah sure it’s a great song. Etc.

I was sat at the t junction at Northside scanning for pirate radio stations and found it.

So that's two Christmas memories i have of Northside. These days, we bring the kids to lullymore or rathwood santa, but for me the best Santa was the Northside sc Santa.
To this day, the smell of melting plastic reminds me of Christmas due to the lights melting the black sacks they used to line the grotto walls with.

Good old Northside SC, if you're of a certain vintage and lived in a certain area you probably have a childhood memory of the place!
