Are you in Ireland at the moment, my friend?

Can't you listen on of those wireless thingies? Crusty ole long wave 252

Very underrated band, The Frank And Walters - their new material is just as good as their early 90's peak

Yeah, I do have one of those wireless things. But it's a big old machine and I'd have to lug it in here from the kitchen... But it's all good now. Everything's working, yay!

And I too love the Frank And Walters!

Same goes for Pugwash, a band who definitely deserve to be bigger than they are - Thomas Walsh is a pop songwriting genius

Welsh Megaman · 08-05-2015 8:11pm

The full version of 'Layla' :cool:

Perfect for such sunny weather...oh.

RomanKnows · 08-05-2015 8:58pm

He's on an 80's classics buzz tonight!

Oh Vienna!

The Creedon Show is a real gem. Irish, world music, power ballads, country. It's a joy to listen to it.

Yeah, he is a gifted songwriter who never really gets a huge amount of exposure.

And he has been in the wars this week ...

I was just thinking to meself yesterday that John has been on a lot of various different slots on radio over the years - from late nights to early mornings - but whether it's the music that he's playing now, or the time that he's playing it, for me this slot is his best incarnation so far.

Welsh Megaman · 13-05-2015 9:07pm

The Midnight Train To Georgia :cool:

WHOO-WHOO!

Welsh Megaman · 18-05-2015 9:11pm

'Gypsy' by Fleetwood Mac - good call

Welsh Megaman · 26-05-2015 9:15pm

Vanessa Paradis?

Oui, s'il vous plait!

Welsh Megaman · 22-06-2015 9:47pm

Jim Lockhart playing David Lee Roth!! :eek:

(Damn) Good call

Eeden · 15-07-2015 9:07pm

Just back here for no particular reason to say... John Creedon show - best radio show around!! Beats the pants off any other Irish radio show. He has an amazingly broad taste in music.

Welsh Megaman · 15-07-2015 9:10pm

Just been for a walk down the beach to watch the sunset with Creedo on the radio - It's Immaterial, Billy Idol, James Brown...life is sweeeeet

Welsh Megaman · 21-07-2015 8:14pm

My favourite two songs by The Doors...good call

sentient_6 · 21-07-2015 9:22pm

Van is chicken soup for the soul.

RomanKnows · 22-07-2015 5:33pm

I rarely get to listen to the show when it's on live. I listen back to it the next day. It's a wonderful radio show. Great music and John is a natural radio broadcaster. Makes the whole thing seem effortless.

Top class stuff.

Limerick91 · 22-07-2015 9:28pm

Another excellent show tonight. But seriously John must be sharing the royalties with The Frank and Walters for their music, 2 Franks songs again tonight!!

22-07-2015 9:28pm

I was hoping to put a few of John's recent shows onto my ipod to bring on hols with me - but there doesn't seem to be a podcast option. Or am I missing something on the website?

I think it must be to do with playback rights for music he plays. I can listen to his show the next day because of some software I use on my PC. It's on my phone in mp3 format the next morning.

Could be wrong though.

Playing Tom Waits now. After Green Day and Otis Redding earlier. What a mix! It's a real gem of a show.

22-07-2015 9:40pm

Yea I often listen to the playback but as you say there seems to be some reason why I can't podcast it. Pity - I had visions of basking on a Spanish beach at sunset with John by my side

I may have to settle for The Mooney Show.

It's not exactly deckchair listening, but the Doc on One series is great and available as a podcast.

22-07-2015 9:49pm

Good idea, they're always interesting! There's literally hundreds of them to choose from so I'll download a few. Thanks.

Welsh Megaman · 31-07-2015 9:44pm

Was just taking a stroll down the beach listening to John, when he played 'Comeback Girl' by Republic Of Loose.

I'm not ashamed to say my walk developed into what the yoof would call a 'swagger'.

:cool:

Eeden · 04-08-2015 8:22pm

Randy Newman!!! Yeah, John!

:):)

Welsh Megaman · 05-08-2015 8:35pm

Hootie And The Blowfish!

:eek:

serfboard · 05-08-2015 11:55pm

It mightn't be popular to say it, but I don't like Amy Winehouse's version of Cupid.

And why does John keep playing New Dorp, New York by Sbtrkt? 'Tis feckin' woeful and an assault on the ears!

Welsh Megaman · 13-08-2015 9:24pm

Great choices tonight, and with half and hour to go

Two from Prefab Sprout, two from Steely Dan, Nick Lowe...

Go with the flow :cool:

Eeden · 13-08-2015 9:30pm

Extremely frustrated, can't get it to play on the laptop this evening. !!!!

Will have to listen back tomorrow, sounds like it was good!

Had a long drive last night which allowed me to tune in for the whole show. John made short work of the N 6 for me.

sligojoek · 16-08-2015 12:03am

I met John in Sligo this evening. I thanked him for his radio show and he thanked me back for thanking him. We had a 5 minute chat. He was an absolute gentleman.

My sister met him recently and said the same. I must say that I am not surprised. He comes across so well on his radio show.

Losty Dublin · 19-08-2015 11:00pm

Caught the end of John's show this evening on my way up to get some proverbial messages. Ran into the shops and got my bits; I ran out, hopped into the car and was treated to Sandy Harsch and Lilian Smith co-presenting a show. Hard to better radio like this, it must be said.

Welsh Megaman · 24-08-2015 8:22pm

Whoa!

'John Kettley Is A Weatherman' by A Tribe Of Toffs! :eek:

Blast from the past

I'm going to have to get an actual radio or do the phone app thing (does anyone have this app? is it any good?) - The RTE player on the laptop is SO frustrating!

But I did manage to hear most of the show tonight. Mighty, as always!

sligojoek · 24-08-2015 11:53pm

Have you tried the tune in app? I use it on an android tablet all the time. You can listen back to older shows with it too.

Irish Radioplayer is a great app - available for both Android & Apple

Welsh Megaman · 25-08-2015 8:07pm

Another night, another 80's novelty record :eek:

Welsh Megaman · 25-08-2015 8:25pm

Devo!

Good call

Welsh Megaman · 02-09-2015 9:26pm

Good mix of music tonight from Fiachna.

'Rise' by PiL...ah yeah!

May the road rise with you

Kommen sie bitte, und listen to Kraftwerk.

Welsh Megaman · 27-10-2015 9:25pm

'Help The Aged' by Pulp!

Good call

HarryLime84 · 30-10-2015 10:37pm

The words "house music" have just been uttered on RTE Radio 1.

Creedon has seriously good taste in music.

Welsh Megaman · 05-11-2015 10:40pm

Two from Steely Dan :cool: :cool:
