Becoming a fan of the John Creedon show

    Over the last few months I have started to listen to his RTE1 show on the commute home from work, and on playback when on night shift, and I am really impressed by his choice of music.

    I find I enjoy a large percentage of what he plays, and I would not have heard a lot of it before.

    Anyone else enjoy his show? Personally I think its the best show on radio at present.

    He is a lovely presenter-I love listening to him.


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,803 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    He might be, but as a man I ain't agreeing with you, I'm talking more about his choice of music!

    I just like the way he sounds so easygoing-think you get a good idea of this when you listen to transitions (e.g handovers of shows) Creedon is always so pleasant to Arena presenter. Others on station not always so.

    One of the most likeable presenters on Irish radio and a super brain of music & history.

    Absolutely! His music VERY diverse, surprisingly so, my Dad got into listening to him, very enjoyable show.

    Big fan of his show, always good to listen to in the late summer evenings.

    Just the other day, he introduced me to 'Missing Suitcase' by Herbaliser - awesome song.

    Go with the flow!

    I've said it many a time that for good new music you need to listen to RTE 1 and not RTE 2.

    When is he on?, I always thought he was a great presenter.

    Currently 8PM to 9:50 weeknights. It goes back to 8:30PM for the autumn/winter schedule

    Great presenter and fantastic eclectic taste in music. Remember when he used to be Terence the hairdresser on the Gerry Ryan show many years ago:D

    I've been dial flicking when driving up from cork a few evenings (when i lose off the ball).

    Got to hear this programme and was pleasantly surprised - some great songs and his general banter was great. Well worth a listen.

    The Mystery train was a much better show.

    I really enjoy his show, I like the conversation and the music is fantastic. He is well worth a listen :)

    Just when a Creedo man-crush thread appears!

    Well at least he knows we'll miss him :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 32,803 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    At least I have plenty of agreement. Good to see someone play a decent range of music.

    I don't call playing several 'van the man 'songs and loads of Brazilian salsa music several times a week 'diverse' , rte must really have paid out to van , saturation point with music from one album from eons ago , deplorable!

    Creedon is earning €2100 per week for doing the show so It's good that people like it.

    Not quite sure what you're implying here. I don't see what his wages have to do with it.

    That show was absolute garbage.

    "And next up ... The Turkmenistan Free-Form Jazz ensemble" (or words to that effect).

    he did the voice of terence on the gerry ryan show many years back

    John Creedon's show is good anytime I get the chance to listen to it. I wouldn't like all the music, and a lot of it is "safe" listening, but he's good to pick up on some new music. Nice guy too.

    If you like his show, you might also like the Philip King show on Radio 1, and there's a lady who does a late night show on Radio 1 at the weekends who is good too.

    That's Lillian Smith, she presents Late Date (12 - 2am on Saturday and Sunday).

    I think she is fab, I love the music she plays.

    I like John creeden music and his show. The slot is a poor one time wise. I often wonder why his show is not podcasted and there is no playback option on there ipad / iphone apps.

    It's not podcast due to music rights.


  • Registered Users Posts: 185 ✭✭dixierip


    I except that but for example the today fm app offers the listen back option (including music) which offers the chance to listen to shows missed.

    RTE only offer that through the website.

    The guy covering for him tonight was decent enough too, music wise.

    Although I think it was Anton Savage in disguise, sounded exactly like him.
