😯.
Aboard what.?
Are we talking to an insider here?
WTF
Ronan once said of Joe that he never tells you a good thing without telling you a bad thing immediately afterwards.
would love that too so I can listen to Rising Time again .
Too late dude, slot already filled.
With Ronan gone who is going to play Linda Ronstadt now ? Louise most likely not as big a fan .
Thank God for small mercies .
Hopefully she she will ease out these forhking ‘roundy birthdays’ and give us some eclectic music.
We need to move out of the Stone Age and grip of the ‘luvvies’.
Its 2022 last I heard, the Dreamland Ballroom is long closed.
Time to move on.
bad choice by RTE, thought they'd give the slot to a proper DJ who doesn't rely on the internet or spotify for music info.
Lots of the established artists, especially the Irish artists of the 60s, 70s and 80s Ronan plays will never be heard on Radio 1 again.
Hopefully she'll get moved on after a year.
listener figures will decrease rapidly. not good for the News at One.
Would have thought Neil Doherty was a shoe-in. seeing as how he has filled in when Ronan has been on holidays.
I hope Louise plays some tracks by artists who are actually still alive. And drop the anniversaries of the deaths of singers dictating what gets played. Goodbye Ronan but I won't miss you.
Yes time to move on…..Ronan is a good guy ,I’m sure ,but like all things, has to end sometime.
Had a good innings on RTE, maybe it’s time shake the place up a bit- clear the bang of complacency from the place.
Going by her interview, doesn't sound like the new presenter is going to shake up anything. Hope she has a bit of character and persona and makes it her own but doubt it very much.
Hmmm…. Might have to agree there….. hopefully it won’t become “patter by numbers” .
That slot has to have the dust and cobwebs knocked off it one would feel.
Time will tell.
Neeeds a complete change from the formulaic patter that Collins pedaled since the larst century.
Hope Louise has the minerals to do that ...as if I hear her going on about "roundy birthdays" my well loved Roberts Internet mite test the strength of the double glazing.
An we wouldn't want that in this Baltic wedder......now would we ...??
Put the auld device on the end of a bit of binder twine Nevin, stop it from hitting the windah.
Hook it up for around the Bank Holidays.
With Ronan leaving the lunchtime slot, is Fiachna Ó Braonáin waiting for John Creedon to have an, ahem, ‘accident’?
”But John, the brakes in your car were working fine the other day.”
Who is she related to?
Nadine O'Regan is a journalist, but also a reasonably experienced broadcaster, having cut her teeth with Phantom/TXFM and then being moved to Today FM with her last programme on TXFM.
So Ronan is finishing up his lunchtime show on 23rd December. Im starting a competition - what will his last song be?
Oh Holy Night?
Oh Holy Mother of God?
A Beatles double?
I did it my Way?
Definitely Oh Holy Night.
‘Living in the Past’. Jethro Tull.
Maybe he'll do a John Clarke and play The Last DJ or maybe Imogen which was his theme tune for many years, although perhaps Let it Be or Dan Fogelberg Same Old Lang Syne could be in the running.
Maybe O Holy Night sung by Joe Dolan?
He always gave Dan Fogelberg an airing with Same Old Lang Syne this time of year.
Dan was a legend, died 15 years ago today.
He always played Dan on his last show before Christmas, and more often than not as the last song. No matter what, I'm sure that he'll find something that "fits the bill" as he would say himself.
What a loss DF was.
A great talent.
I sure Ronan will effect his exit with aplomb.
I think I'd like to hear Imogen as the final track, sign off, like he signed on and bookend the years. I am sure Joe, Dan and any of the others that would also do the job, could be played through the show anyway.
Linda Ronstadt does Gilbert and Sullivan. Good man Ronan 😂😂
Ronan with Philip Boucher-Hayes right now, indulging in some Partridge/Tony Hayes bitchery! :D
I bet a million Euro that Ronan’s final song will be ‘Adios’ by Linda Ronstadt.
BOOM, BABY!!
