    :)

    Tis the 21st century now James.

    In a similar vein to the above suggestion, what about "Party on Downes" or similar. Your surname has endless possibilities...

    Going Downes To Limerick

    How about Get Downes, There's Somebody Shooting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,089 ✭✭✭JAMES VTI S


    no i dont want to use my name i think it cheesy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,580 ✭✭✭✭Riesen_Meal


    I had a similar conundrum starting my radio show many moons ago, I just couldn't think of a name, eventually I came up with Fieldogs Fresh Friday's, so I abbreviated it to The Triple F Show, still using it 3 years later.... :P

    Down Downes?

    This is West Limerick FM and you're listening to Downes in the Dump.

    Catchy eh ?

    "The Downes Syndrome"

    No such thing as bad publicity

    :D:D
    Why does it need a name? I think radio show names are a bit gimmicky to be honest and would just go with using your name, so James downes at the weekend or similar?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,425 ✭✭✭telekon


    If this was RTE, their marketing team (after much brainstorming, late nights and endless coffee and red bull injections) would suggest:


    "The James Downes Show"


    What do you think?

    (I hope you realise I've just given you for free what RTE spends thousands (of taxpayers' money) to come up with...don't mention it! :))

    "The sunday business post" - catchy eh?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,359 ✭✭✭Access


    Or...

    Lets call a spade a spade... call the show what it is going to be eventually called as you are on a community radio station....


    "Houseparty sponsored by O'Doherty Farm Equipment Ltd. Lakyle Ardnacrusha Limerick - and remember - if it aint O'Doherty farm equipment, it aint worth sh1t!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,397 ✭✭✭✭Birneybau


    Get Downes on the Dancefloor!

    Actually, could be mis-interpreted...

    Ardnacrusha is in Co Clare :rolleyes:

    Was chatting about this with someone recently... One of the things they said was it should be something you can easily work into a sentence!

    It's best to just sit down with a blank piece of paper, scribble down the word houseparty, then brainstorm and see where that gets you!


    Few very random suggestions.... Naked, loud, fresh! etc...

    When you get your own Breakfast Show you can call it 'Up with Downes' :o:p:D

    if you don't want to use your own name, then use someone else's.

    the friday night dance show with vladimir putin.

    'evening folks, vlad's on holidays...'


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 15,238 ✭✭✭✭Diabhal Beag


    "Not Another Music Show" and then you could be all cool and youthful by using the first initials to every word. The kids love that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,089 ✭✭✭JAMES VTI S

    'Dance music for people who don't like dance music'.

    Nah, there would be a large voluntary group of staff. There would be a few paid staff in the background too.

    Some info about community radio here: http://www.craol.ie/1/0/home.html
