Not so much the darkness, but we played it a few times last year. There isn't much unknown stuff to be honest, but we do have a song contest to try to get new Artists into the mainstream and try to support them. So there will be a couple you might not have heard of.
Check out www.ChristmasFM.ie and you can stream a 30 min sample on the listen live section.
Just as long as you don't play the Ronan Keating version of Fairytale of New York. I lose all faith in a radio station if they play that monstrosity instead of the original classic

I'm going off to seriously consider changing my name, followed by a ban on that cd ever entering the studio.
Eh I'm fairly sure it was played on Christmas FM last year. 0 -

The line "you scumbag, you maggot, you're cheap and you're haggard" never fails to make me want to throw the radio out a window.

@janeybabe eek I didn't even know it existed, but theres a team of us in xmas fm, So i'll mobilise the troops in revolt against insulting such a classic.
Everyone else more good news, we'll have an iphone app so for those outside our coverage and abroad can tune in. More details to follow.
That's great news about the app, I'm looking forward to tuning in and pledging money for the charity this year! 0 -

You're lyrics are correct Dolphin, the Lyrics Posy mentioned feature in the Ronan Keating cover version of the song, a version we shall never speak of again.0 -

That's right Keating changed the lyrics. With his wholesome image he couldn't be seen to be singing a swear word! Oh No! only bad people swear. The egomaniac thought he could take a classic, change the lyrics and get away with it. All this not taking into the account he can't even sing in the first place.
In Ronan's defence the original lyrics were prob offensive to Stephen!
