No Losty, it I’m thinking of texting in for the double roundy as that cohort seems to be the fan base.

Few bars of The Boys from the County Armagh maybe would be good.

Soon as i heard that great simon crowe drum roll intro into the opening riff of Lookin after No.1, i sensed it was going to be a good show today.

As Ronan is a Contractor, he can go on as long as RTE want him, or as long as he wants to.

Been listening to RC for more years than i care to remember at this stage. He had a show in the afternoons, not sure was it rte 1 or 2. Be happy to see him going on for a few years yet.

Ronan was with RTE Radio 2 from the start in 1979 to 1985.

One of the (If not the only??) longest serving Radio 1 presenters currently on air, on a Mon - Fri basis since then.

Wouldn’t go that far Bee, but time to bring the curtain down in my opinion.

Talent just like the current 'presenters'??
Ronan is a proper DJ....most radio fans can relate to him.

If today's show is a demonstration of "the flimsiest of talent", I'd take it all day every day.

You left out the important part in your post.

Ronan gutted that Brian Kennedy’s health has improved, yet had to mention how tough it is for musicians like him at the moment.
