Great start. Cant beat a bit of priestly music.

Hank Williams jnr - Life gets teejus, don't it

Great choice for the times that are in it.

I see Ronan is now using music beds under his longer lists of Roundy Birthdays.

Oscar Bravo

Nice selection of music today.

Sorry for the confusion, glad you got the gist of it in the end.

To be honest I didn't know whether to go with "long-called for" or "long called-for".

In the end I decided to go with neither and hope it wouldn't cause too much stress.

When the uilleann pipes kick in it's like an air guitar segment for the listener, gold.

Are you sure? What's on at 12.30, An Saol O Dheas? They could easily have fit that in. Very bad form altogether.

I love how he kicks off the show with some Steely Dan for Josie on her 104th Birthday :cool:

Are RnaG allowed to legally play english language songs now ? I know at one point they weren't

They've always played English-language music in the evenings, but yeah that might be the policy alright. A bit rigid of them if so.

Considering the tune is taken from Horslips’ ‘Dearg Doom’ which, in itself, based on the trad tune ‘O’Neill’s March’ it wouldn’t be much of an “exception” to make.

It may not be to your taste Ronan, but there’s no need for that language

Good selection today. A mark docked for calling the Pogues album Waiting ON Herb, but pretty solid otherwise.

That song really takes me back to the Summer of 1993.
Was at a time when I would tune into BBC Radio 1 on Medium wave or if I could on FM.
It was a fairly big hit for The Pogues, considering Shane was not part of the line up by then.

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.

Here we go..... Post Malone???

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.
