Like Fairytale, Raglan Road, Scorn Not.. and many more. The song should be left alone

for some people genius equates to covering someone else's song and sticking an orchestra on the backing track

Whatever about me but the lad who manages the Docs, Ollie Jennings, well he loves it. I like quirky or unique cover versions so I am bias

Steven Adler of Guns ‘N’ Roses is celebrating his birthday today.

Not too late for Ronan to play ‘Rocket Queen’ before the show is out

At least ronan called it "intriguing" which is a site better than the ott fawning of some of his colleagues. I quite like her voice but the cover overall i find just ok, a bit dull.

Most of these songs were not meant to be covered in that different style

Another watery cover version, currently beloved of advertisers.

If she did 'The Green and Red of Mayo' or 'To Live Just Once' it would be better. Agreed she has a great voice and should go places.

N17 is a bit sacrosanct for a lot of people, class lyrics, hit the mood of the 80's and early 90's spot on. It's also too fast to be slowed down. Every time I hear it I expect the Saw Doctors to just come in and speed it all up.

I'm waiting for Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age. C'mon Ronan, give it a spin.

As ronan said, that was poignant. Not the best voice, as shay himself would admit, but really suited the mood of that beautiful piece, just a lovely sense of vulnerability about it. RIP.

ford fiesta · 12-04-2021 12:58pm

I was surprised that Ronan made that comment about Shay's voice, prior to it being played

Bingo

One out of two ain't bad.

Welsh Megaman · 21-04-2021 12:36pm

Ronan playing so many artists who have died (as is the RTE way), I was worried there for a minute

Happy Birthday, Iggy

Losty Dublin · 27-04-2021 12:19pm

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.

Pelvis Parsley · 27-04-2021 12:20pm

What's that rubbish he's playing now?

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

I think it's that Chalia wan.

Dust off the Best of Heart FM cassette tapes; Michael Cahill is on this week.

10-05-2021 12:10pm

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!

Welsh Megaman · 10-05-2021 12:22pm

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.

He sounded annoyed that he wasn't able to shuffle off for de long lunch right away. Calddaghgreen invice for the few moments of content will be submitted to dee forbes before close of business.

Dipole Keith · 12-05-2021 12:18pm

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.

Welsh Megaman · 12-05-2021 12:43pm

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”.

Losty Dublin · 13-05-2021 12:31pm

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?

Welsh Megaman · 13-05-2021 12:53pm

HOLD ME NOW.

13-05-2021 1:45pm

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.

17-05-2021 12:49pm

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.

Losty Dublin · 21-05-2021 12:05pm

Michael Cahill must have broken in and lined up Ronan's first song today :eek:
