    Another play for 'The Long Shot' by Megson - absolutely sublime.

    Creedon's show is the great undiscovered gem on the RTE Radio schedule. Far more approachable than John Kelly before him. Less turgid than The South Wind Blows. A decent skin playing great music and reading out the odd request.

    More murder ballads!

    I have Internet radio and Tune In etc but I always come back to Creedon in the evening, Late Date when going to bed, Rising Time if I am driving early in the morning and I'll also dip in and out of Ronan Collins at noon. It is fashionable to complain about RTE but they play some great music in fairness (and I am not linked!). Their documentaries aren't bad either!

    Good stuff tonight from Creedo, and not just because he kicked off with Ian Hunter and Mott The Hoople :D

    Rare footage of John Creedon's good friend Terence on The Late Late Show.

    His two backing singers let him down, I think.





    And here he is in his Agony Uncle slot on Gerry's show. Remember, we're all God's Children :)

    One of the best shows in a long time so far :)

    Sultans Of Ping, two from Level 42 :O

    And Nina Simone's cover of Bob Dylan's 'Just Like A Woman' - sublime.

    I listened to the "Listen Back" this morning - feet up in front of the cooker and looking out at the white hills - classic pleasure!

    It's called "Oh Yeah" (On The Radio) - although I don't think oh yeah appears in the lyrics. :)

    Thank you!
    It's awesome with either title, we should hear more Roxy on the radio I think.

    Listening to the John Creedon show for the 1st time. God, it's excellent. What an eclectic mix. He's got a lovely presenting style as well. Gone into my Tunein favourites.
