The Louise Duffy Show - RTE Radio 1

Thanks Fred.

So far so good for Louise.

Her hearts in the right place and the music is good.

What more could you ask for ?

I should have added "for the

first day". 🙂

Some shoes to fill she must have had at least a bit of stage fright.

Thing is tho the majority of Ronan's clientele will hang around as the dial is just welded to Radio 1 and that's where it stays no matter who is on.

I loved Ronan's show, but being in my early 30's I would say I'm well towards the younger side of his audience and we would be the ones that would switch off, and in fairness I dont think there's too many of us!!

Louise's first day was ok. She seemed a bit dull, but at least she was competent and knows what she was doing, hopefully she will grow in to the role more. Music also was ok, nice to hear some Talking heads and Roxy music, but apart from that as middle of the road as you could get. Every day Ronan had something up his sleeve that made me think "Ronan, you Gem!" Hopefully in time Louise can find similar surprises.

.....the show needs more yodeling.

I was just thinking the same....

Didn't mind the stand ins much when Ronan was out, well, except for Shay, as you knew it was just that, a stand in. I'll give it another week, but I cant see myself sticking with it.

Seems to me she’s got a nice personality so I’m happy for her to carry on and make it her show. The king is gone, long live the Queen.

Give her a bit of time, haven't heard much evidence of character or experience yet. Music is alright though, hope she has the guts to stick to what she thinks best and doesn't kowtow to requests for more schmaltz.

Hmmm….bit over the top there dude…..even for you.

^^^ I agree. She’s a professional and is making the hour hers, how, not Ronan 2.0.

(I enjoyed Ronan’s show; but all things must end)

I’m definitely warning to Louise myself. I liked her stints filling in for Ronan previously but didn’t pay huge attention as she was just standing in. I’m in my late 40’s so probably was on the younger side of Ronan’s demographic but she’s playing tge sort of stuff I want to listen to and I find I’m enjoying the music more than Ronan’s choices. Yes I liked Ronan a lot but there were always a few duds in there.

yeah she doesn’t have the rarely played gens Ronan would throw out every so often but in guessing she’s in her 30s so by the time she’s Ronan’s age she’ll have gens of her own no doubt.

overran she seems to have a lovely personality and is easy to listen to and her music selection isn’t bleeding edge so I can’t see even the older demographic getting too upset during their lunchtime.

I guess It’sa laid back side but there’s bore contemporary energy from Louise. I really didn’t expect to have such a positive impression after only a few weeks but she hasn’t out a bit wrong so far imho. Keep it up Louise!

Was in a meeting but came back into the car to hear Rueben by Cathey Davey followed by Yes by McAlmont and Butler. At 12.50 in the day - fantastic stuff.

I always liked Louise on her evening Today FM slot. I'll be tuning in from now on.

She’s off to a very good start.

Fair play…..the chat that hasn’t changed since 1968?

Can I mark you down as ‘averse to change’?

You did indeed, I was well off the mark there.Don’t know what came over me.

May I apologise and withdraw that uncalled for descriptor.

Don't knock Late Date. The best music show on RTE radio

As for this midday music show, Elvis, showbands, and Elvis covers

Jailbreak!

BREAK OUT!

Today’s show was very good, great mix. Lovely voice, too.

Had her on today in the car and I really enjoyed the show. It's still FM1 type music but it's not playlist rigid and she's putting her own shake onto things. She could be in this chair for a long long time.

some very nice music again today
