Yeah, saw that all right. He was excellent on Today FM before, so I may well give him a listen.
Only a matter of time before he gets a weekday slot.
He was covering for pat kenny the last 2 weeks, different class. No doubt he will take that slot or lunch time slot in the future
wondering will he still have the Dave Fanning slot every Sunday on 2FM?
What? Anton Savage?
Anton does a review of 'fascinating' stories from the week gone by, with Dave, on Dave's 2FM show each Sunday 1pm to 3pm. This has been ongoing for around the past 2 years.
Shauna's younger sister doing the traffic on Ian's show now.
It's a shame 2fm didn't get Anton to fill-in for Fanning, McSharry or Jennifer Z the years he was locked out of Marconi House.
I'd say the weekend show is a holding pattern until P.Kenny retires and he'll take over
That new competition they are running would drill a hole in your head. Takes them an age to explain it too.
Anyone hazard a guess at how much they have given away in the last month or two?
I would think it is more of a question of how much have they earned in the last months with Muppets people spending €2 per text! Like shooting fish in a barrel.
Ed in for Fergal D'Arcy today and for the rest of the week 😊
€2.50🙄
I'm on a €20/28-days PAYG plan. Every so often my operator gives me €5 credit for whatever reason. My deal has 20g data and enough phone minutes that I've literally nothing to spend the credit on, or any way to spend it, except charities and competitions like this, so why not?
The completely worn out CD of the month has to be that god awful Tom Grennan tune. The obsession with whining Ed Sheeran / Dermot Kennedy clones shows no sign of abating. It seems to get played at least every 2nd hour of the day.
Pink gets played every second song recently.
Generic songs from generic singers.
Is it just me, or does that Tom Grennan guy have terrible diction? Seems to say the words funny, like he has marbles in his mouth. There is an Irish band, can't remember which one (Picture This?), which do the same.
Was Tom Grennan not some introverted indie singer songwriter originally? Has he just changed tack all of a sudden with these pop songs?
I remember one weekend either Today FM or 2fm, can't remember, put Dermot Kennedy Out Numbered and Tom Grennan A Little bit of Love on back to back and I thought someone had f**ked up and played the same artist twice.
Picture This rhyme words that sound nothing alike.
Night/Lies
Hazy/Lately
Town/Get out
Fight/Side
Maybe it is them then? Thats probably why they sound like they are mispronouncing words.
And throw in "yeaaaahh" at the end of most verses.
Picture This are a crime against music.
My brother is on a €20 payg plan with 3. For a while he could enter that competition without been charged for some reason.
But just last week after he entered he checked his credit and it took €5 for one entry, he thought it was a mistake so he entered again the next day and it took €5 Again. That's the last time he'll enter that competition.
Would he not, like, get on to Three and look for a refund?
Wait, Three's customer service is non-existent, it'd cost more than a fiver's worth of his time.
Anyone who is still on an old legacy PAYG plan will always have plenty of spare credit for those 57XXX text competitions. The days of topping up your phone and being able to keep the credit indefinitely is very much a thing of the past for anyone who has changed price plan or bought an new SIM card in recent times.
Loving Ed in the afternoons.
He’s a gem but sadly the “music” is mostly the same. Clearly the presenters have no say in what’s played.
Yeah sure Ian Dempsey often mentions needing permission or getting in trouble for playing something not on the playlist.
