    Would anyone have any info on the artist of a song on this evening.. I think it was called kebababylon is burning.. Almost like a monologue by a Dublin artist driving or walking or whatever through O Connell St... Beautifully witty and thought provoking

    John often follows up on e mails and tweets. Do give him a shout and ask him; he should be able to tell you a bit more if he can.

    Fair play to him. I wouldn't be a fan of a few of the artists, but that playlist is still top notch.

    Often played by Creedo, sad to hear of the passing of Arty McGlynn. The greatest acoustic guitar player Iv'e ever heard. Condolences to Nollaig Ni Cathasaig and family. Hope John plays a few, some night.

    Not a fan, Brendan? You should give his show a listen some evening while sipping’ on a few cans of lager. Nice lad and great taste in music.

    Wouldn’t listen too much, but he is a nice lad it would appear.

    Over eggs the auld bumbling rambler a bit, but, wouldn’t say that it is too offputting.

    Exactly the thread I was looking for.

    Every day the last few years has been stress and drama be it brexit and now this virus.

    His show is just so brilliant.

    A lovely calm oasis at the end of the day with so many great bands and new music you’ve never heard. Found so many bands new to me through him.

    More of him please. I rail against RTE but radio is one thing they often do right.

    He’s a perfect example.

    I was driving back to Dublin Friday evening last, listening to his programme - some absolutely fantastic sounds - lifted the spirits - if they could drop An Nuacht from 9pm - given us two hours of interrupted music please!

    Agree on that. Lost count of new bands/artists ive checked out after hearing them on creedon. And, yes, though its far from perfect, radio is definitely something they do well.

    Off side but their podcast series documentary on one
    Often golden.
    The most recent series they did on the Irish serial killer in England

    Gripping addictive fascinating.

    Another sting to their bow.

    If you haven’t heard it it’s called the nobody zone. Think it’s 6 or 7 episodes?

    Well worth your time.

    I got sick of the television this evening and switched over to it forgot how good it was, some gems, Jilted John, now there's a blast from the past. He kind of forces you to switch down a gear, something we could all do with.
