Magician Keith Barry demands to be put on Cork's REDFM

Temaz

Keith Barry's appearance on Neil Prendeville's show was cancelled as Barry wanted to do the same magic trick on rival station 96fm.

The day after his 96fm appearance he turned up at the REDFM studios giving a fake name for some reason to reception and demanding to be put on air.

When he was denied entering the studio he launched into a foul mouthed rant at female staff and how he would start a ****storm on twitter and destroy everybody at REDFM.

That is the tale Neil Prendeville gave earlier so we can await Barry's reply.

Crazy behaviour from a guy who comes across as pretty decent.

Keith has already told his story, and tbh I would believe him before I would believe that wanker (literally) Prenderville.

I'm more inclined to believe the guy who wasn't caught "self completing" on an aer lingus flight a while back

Plenty of witnesses saw Barry turning up at the station and his threatening behaviour towards one female receptionist in particular.

We shall see if Barry responds.

I for one believe Keith.

I think Neil just likes all the public exposure he gets from the spat.

Can't beat an old foul-mouthed tirade if things aren't going your way.

Can this cabaret act please just go away once and for all?

If you believe Keith you must disbelief the female receptionist in particular who was on the end of Barry's rant.

Ann Landers

Well, I'm sure Keith was angry at his treatment. I bet he didn't do half of what was mentioned in the OP.

Do we have an actual statement from her?

To be fair they both have a need for public attention like all in the entertainment business. The radio hosts' previous stupidity on a plane has no bearing on this whatsoever but by the sounds of it there were witnesses to Keith Barrys behaviour, so we'll sit back and let them at it.

Mrs Garth Brooks

Travel 3 hours from Dublin to be told to f off.

I'd be pretty mad myself.

"Im going to annihilate you all on twitter"

Is what REDFM's news team are reporting him as saying.

The lady at the reception desk didn't even now who Keith Barry was and him using a fake name is bizarre.

Neil said they contacted his agent and cancelled but Keith Barry turned up anyway.

Yep. Sensible post.

Rightwing

This is another cock up ( literally ) for prenderville.

Barry was probably angry, and I can never understand why people shout at the wrong people.

Maximus Alexander

I wouldn't be too fond of Barry. My better half met him a good few years back (oddly enough when she was working at a radio station!) and said he was pretty rude and full of himself, so this story seems to match up with my expectations.

Temaz

Saw this posted somewhere else.

Online bullying. Fake names. Threatening women.


Take a bow Keith Barry.

Neil P's **** on a plane has everything to do with it. 'I wanked on a plane because I took neurofen plus'. That was a fcuking cop out and shows the cúnt can lie.

Can we stay on topic please. This concerns the Neil and Keith bust up.

There were plenty of witnesses to Barry's rant at a female doing her job in the reception area of Redfm.

We get that you don't like Neil.

Everybody can lie, I'm sure K.B. is very capable of lying. Someones past stupidity does mean they are guilty of lying every time they open their mouths. Stupid post.

2 Questions:

Can you give any reference to anything your saying?

Are you Neil Prendiville or do you work for him?

super_furry

Your man Prendiville really does seem to be a thoroughly unpleasant character. Kind of medium sized fish in a tiny pond syndrome, mind he'll probably consider the fact that anyone's talking about him a success.

True. I never knew who the frick Neil Prendeville was until I read a story about him being caught trying to tug the love truncheon off himself behind a magazine while on a flight.

If Keith Barry acts like an asshole, people won't go to his show. If Prendeville acts like an asshole, more people will tune into his show.

You'd have to worry that Keith Barry was driving up and down to Cork on just 3 hours sleep. Unlikely to be safe - even for a mentalist :cool:

I think this is either:

a) A planned media storm which helps both Prendervile and Barry, or

b) Red FM/Prends being unprofessional - if you don't ask for exclusivity, you have no right to be upset.

Wossack

in light of opposing stories about what happened, I'm gonna have to err on the side of caution, and consider them both to be contemptible dicks

Birneybau

Both mentalists.

Anyway, Keith Barry does come across as someone completely full of himself.

For some reason, I get the impression that you've never even heard his show once and are judging him based on what you've heard about him in the media. He's the top rating local radio host in the country but I agree with you that Ireland is a tiny pond.

The witnesses were all the staff members who were in the reception area at the time.

The "snakes on a plane joke" was not very funny either.

It was redfm's headline news at 10am and a statement was read out by Neil before that. There is a very popular Cork based forum that are also discussing the news.

No I am not Neil and I do not work for Redfm.

No but numerous staff members did, people are letting their hatred of Neil get in the way of this story.

There is no story, it's bickering between a pantomime magician and a self admitted aero-onanist.

The fact that it's the headline news on a provincial radion station just shows how small time that station is.

Temaz

I believe a clip of audio from Neil's statement is also in the link below.

Neil Prendeville has addressed an issue which emerged with magician and mentalist Keith Barry off air on Friday morning.

He began by telling his listening audience that his show was contacted by Keith Barry’s management a number of weeks ago to come on the show, Neil agreed and they discussed the format the interview would take on air.

Neil says at no stage was it mentioned that he would be doing the same format, on the same morning on 96FM and had he known that he would have urged Keith to pick one radio station on that morning and re-schedule the other for another day.

His PR firm was contacted and his appearance was cancelled.

On foot of that Keith arrived at the studios here at RedFM and demanded to be taken on air.

After leaving the studios Keith took to Twitter and Facebook and slated Neil’s actions and encouraged other artists to boycott his show.

You do know Neil gets bigger ratings than a lot of big name presenters on national radio.

But what makes you not believe it? I'm sure if it's all made up then Barry can take legal action.

I don't know what Roswell is meant to mean.
