    No Ronan today; M Cahill is on instead and it sounds like he's playing whatever he heard on Q 102 on the drive in.

    Or some of the songs played on Tracy Clifford's show on 2FM, as he is her Producer

    I doubt that any of you heathens care, but every day when I heat that Donegal newsreader starting the Nuacht with an unusual Irish greeting, I'm puzzled as to what she is saying.

    So I texted a friend who has that unintelligible dialect. Apparently its "Bail o Dhia oraibh", God bless you. Never heard of that greeting before.

    Now you know, you probably didn't want to know!

    Michael Cahill playing hair and haircut-related songs.


    I’m looking forward to hearing ‘Hair Pie: Bake 1’ by Captain Beefheart :pac:

    Ha ha!! I've been annoying the better half by greeting her with this phrase every lunchtime, with neither of us having a clue what I just said!!!

    Same, it's been bugging me for ages. The other one you hear (the man who reads the Nuacht says it) is "Dia bhur mbeathasa" (God on your way/in your life) which is kinda nice.

    Coldplay Higher Power & Dermot Kennedy Power over me, I thought I’d 2FM on for a moment, Michael Cahill mustn’t listen to the Ronan Collins show very much, There’s a song on now from a paint ad on tv by Laura Mvula Green Garden again more suited for 2FM.

    A bit disturbing that Joe’s immediate reaction upon hearing that today is Burt Bacharach’s birthday (and without missing a beat) was “still alive”.

    I wonder why does it never occur to Michael Cahill to check https://www.rte.ie/radio1/ronan-collins/ to see what sort of music Ronan plays on his show?

    Cahill played this earlier in the week, and it's been stuck in my head for days. Not as good as the original N17, less raucous, but still a very good cover!

    This is much better than the original. The Sawdoctors are good at shouting words out loud. This singer makes the song poignant.

    Ronan Collins back in the chair today. Had tuned -in just to see if Michael Cahill was back.

    Cahill would be a good replacement if this format is retained upon Collins's long anticipated (by some) retirement.

    It's excellent, but the original is in another class. The real test will come when she tries a similar cover of I Useta Love Her.

    I think the best parodies of Dylan's voice have been done by Joan Baez. There are loads of them online, but this one with a baby in her arms (from 01:20) stands out.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxzJRZI8100


    It's true, he isn't the best singer. But the distinctive voice is part of his appeal.

    I think John Creedon will do Bob some justice tonight!
