Did anyone catch the name of the guy from Cork before John Spillane who sang the song about hair loss. I want to get it for a follically challenged friend of mine who constantly calls me a hippy cos of my long hair. The jealous fecker.

Nice one . Cheers.

Just listening to "The Rolling Wave" there now and they played another song by Con Fada O Drisceoil, called "The Papal Toe". The presenter said he'd play "Hunting the Hair" and other songs later in the show.

sligojoek · 29-04-2018 11:20pm

Did you catch it WM?

He didn't play "Hunting the Hair" after all but two others called "Rasputin" about a cat he wanted to kill but couldn't. And another about a flock of reindeer in Sweden that ate a load of apples which fermented in their stomachs and got them drunk and sent them on a rampage against humans.

After my son's confirmation and my new satellite box and getting the car serviced, I'll have to indulge in his CD and book.

I am almost certain that JC has either played this song or at least name checked it on air.

RIP Tony Lambert, formerly of The Saw Doctors.

Good tribute by Fiachna.

Excellent playlist tonight.

Sat listening to Creedo on the beach, watching the sun slowly disappear over the horizon - to the strains of ‘Kings’ by Steely Dan.

Life is sweeeeet.

The man needs to be a presenter on Nova....the only presenter...:)

Jesus I only discovered this show recently. Sick to death of my old playlists and useless at finding new music.

I love 90% of what he plays and probably haven't even heard the same number.

Can you get a podcast or playlist of the shows anywhere?

The programme archive stretches back a few years, complete with the full playlists.

dball · 09-06-2018 7:26am

three is also a spotify playlist that updates every week. Not sure if its his or someone else adding all the songs but its updated regularily

Losty Dublin · 11-06-2018 9:23pm

If John ever leaves the show then Lilian should be given first dibs on it.

Welsh Megaman · 22-06-2018 9:57pm

Excellent show tonight...watching the sunset to the sound of ’Psycho Killer’ by Talking Heads, ‘La Vie En Rose’ by Grace Jones and the truly magnificent ‘Float On’ by The Floaters

*adopts falsetto*

Mmmmmmmm!
Take my haaaaand!
Come with me baby, to lurve laaaand!
Let me show you, how sweet it can beeee!
Sharing lurve with me-ee-ee!

Float on, float ooooon!

:cool:

25-06-2018 9:52am

Thanks WM. Your excellent rendition of Float On prompted me to listen back to friday night's show -and you never mentioned Paul Simon's fantastic Hearts and Bones!!! Can't wait to see him on July 13th.

Welsh Megaman · 25-06-2018 9:46pm

A double dose of The Frank And Walters.

Sweeeeet.

You might like to tune-n to John Kelly over on Lyric FM. 7pm Mon - Thurs.
Much more variety than JC, many excellent new discoveries (for me at least) - and none of the inane texts and requests.

Joe_ Public · 27-06-2018 10:54am

I like both Creedon and Kelly, along with Lillian Smith, probably my 3 favourite music presenters on Irish radio right now. Kelly tends to play a touch more obscure selection which might not suite everybody's tastes. I guess. Sadly for me they are both on at a time of day I tend not to be listening to the radio.

For me, the chat and banter takes Creedon to a different level.

The Tanika Tikaram tune tonight though

Really?
"Hello to Mary who's driving from a to b. I can't play any jeff buckley tonight Mary. maybe tomorrow night. Hi to John, and Mark in Cavan and Tom is there, thanks for the kind words"

Maybe John is too nice a guy to disappoint any caller who wants to hear his/her name on the airwaves.
