    I am shocked that no one put this up. Dave Redmond was on Today FM Monday night. He played some brilliant tunes! He is a top quality DJ. It's good to see that the station picked up another top class DJ even if it is on a swing DJ basis!

    Great news. He should never have been dropped by RTE. I hope he gets a more permanent slot soon. He sit in very well at today fm.
    In fairness I think it was a decision made by an accountant rather than a radio manager at the time.

    Dave Redmond is a top class jock.

    I heard them say he's in for Tony Fenton this week.

    So he's totally gone from 2fm now permanetly I'd imagine now.

    good dj

    I always liked him as one of the better DJ's but humble at the same time

    Jeez Lenny - they are going to have to get you your own radio forum soon! There's a thread on this already.

    He had a shaky start but quite good. He's doing it in a similar style to Fenton.

    Sorry, but I have to disagree. Average at best. If he was so great, he wouldnt have been let go from RTE. Very much a 'that was, this is, whats in the paper' kind of jock.

    He was one of the unfortunate people at RTE when the axe was wielded lateast year. From what I gather anyone who was joined a a presenter in the last few years would have been on similar contracts as what you would find at Independant radio
    Stations. That would explain why some peoe have not had contacts renewed but others seem to be there for the long haul as they would be holding down certain clauses/retainers if they were let go.

    Anyway back to Dave.. Top jock and I hope Today Fm keep him long term!
