His playlist is always so predictable and bland

May as well have stuck the RTE Gold iPod into the spare line on the mixer and ask Dobbo to pull it down and press pause when he started the News at 1.

He must have left the CD lying round, Fiachna has just kicked off tonight’s show with it (sitting in for John Creedon)!

Maybe Michael swapped it for a copy of The Rose by Fiachna and Ronnie Drew.

Come back Ronan. All is forgiven.

I fear for today's musical selections so much that I may as well just turn on RTE Gold now and suffer that little bit earlier.

RTE Gold have a much more varied and interesting selection.

Remember Cahill is an RTE staff member, he no longer needs to impress with different/"I haven't heard that in a while" song selections.

In terms of RTE staff presenters (by the way cost cutting should be a priority for RTE on all music programmes, rather than Una Healy or some other musician or celebrity) - Will Leahy would be a better choice to cover for Ronan.

Double O Seven

That clown Cahill has been sucking on the sugar tit of the licence fee for a quarter of a century, despite the lack of purpose for him to be in RTE

If cost saving is a priority then getting a salaried staff to step in is economically sensible as he's already onsite. But yeah, he's certainly lazy and WhatsApp it in much less than he rings it in. Disagree about Will Leahy though; he's far too busy trying to do impressions of Tony Fenton or Philip Cawley when on air, and badly too. In any case he has a full time job to be able to slot in.

Neil Doherty filling in next week. Get ready for ABBA, the shires, kasey musgraves and the soundtrack of the greatest showman

TheRiverman

I turned on radio at about three minutes to one today for the News.I was surprised to hear him finish the show with Letter To You by Bruce Springsteen.

Pelvis Parsley

Ronan: you don't miss him 'til he's gone!

Atlantic Dawn

What I can't understand is on a normal day Ronan is playing mostly requests from his loyal listeners so day in day out it's similar type tunes with an odd surprise thrown in, this sit in is like Ronan left on 2 weeks holiers and left his 25 year old nephew at the wheel with strict instructions and he has said feck that and decided to play what he wants, which is what I would do

Brendan Bendar

A change from the same old same old patter and content is always welcome.

For some anyway......

100% agree...
the insufferable neil doherty. most of the acts he plays he hadn't heard of until their song appeared in an tv ad or in a nextflix series/film. or when he had to research them while working on the ray darcy radio show.

dont forget he'll play a song from the mamma mia soundtracks

Neil Doherty filling in this week. Do RTE just pull names out of a hat?

And you can't spare yourself by flicking on a Christmas movie like when he'd normally stand in.

Last week Michael Cahill: "The world cant have enough Phil Collins songs."

This week Neil Doherty: first track, Phil Collins (via Genesis).

Ronan cant come back quickly enough.

ford fiesta

Why does every fill in music presenter on RTE Radio 1 play Elbow: "One day like this" ?? ...

...Yawn

dvcireland

I thought Neil would of worn out that Imelda May single by now
