Goddamn right, it’s a beautiful day

Welsh Megaman · 22-05-2019 9:23pm

Two great songs there from David Byrne

Welsh Megaman · 23-05-2019 9:20pm

Watching the sunset to the sound of Steely Dan and Future Islands.

Niiiice. :cool:

Welsh Megaman · 05-06-2019 9:52pm

Great song by Kurt Vile.

My Lovely Horse!

We have to lose that sax solo

Legend, can't think of another radio show (other than maybe Ed's Songs of Praise on a Sunday night) where I'd hear that song. Just one of the many reasons that I purposely tune-in to Johns show!

Auld ‘turnip- head’ is on the go a long time now.

Welsh Megaman · 17-06-2019 9:58pm

‘TC And Honeybear’ followed by ‘Glacier’...good man, John

NIMAN · 18-06-2019 8:53pm

As the thread starter, nice to see this about to hit 1000 replies.

Shows that plenty of us know good radio when we hear it.

Keep up the good work JC

Been listening to the last fifteen minutes and the one link I've heard it was informative and the music is relaxing and good. To quote sir jimmy of McGee John creedon is "different class"

Itssoeasy · 25-06-2019 9:50pm

A double helping of Beck and now U2. Where else on Irish radio would you get that type of variety ?

Itssoeasy · 25-06-2019 9:57pm

So a double of beck, and a double of U2 and finishing with Booker T and the M.G's.

Welsh Megaman · 02-07-2019 9:25pm

‘36D’ by The Beautiful South...haven’t heard this in an age!

Good man, John

Big shout out for Wales there. Was that your email, WM?

Sadly, no

I remember the time The Golden Horde toured the UK with The Cramps!

Lux Interior and Poison Ivy...absolute legends!

It was the 50th anniversary of the release of his first album.

Welsh Megaman · 09-07-2019 8:43pm

My god...I was clean shaven when that Waterboys song started.

Welsh Megaman · 09-07-2019 9:41pm

Awesome live version of ‘Jammin’’ :cool:

boccy23 · 11-07-2019 8:38pm

Ramble On. He doesn’t play enough Zeppelin.

Welsh Megaman · 11-07-2019 9:38pm

Nice tribute to Brendan Grace.

He had his fun, and that’s all that matters.

RIP

Pugwash...it’s nice to be nice.

One of the most underrated bands Ireland has ever produced?

Mr. Walsh has been very quiet of late...here’s hoping for new material on the way.

Welsh Megaman · 30-07-2019 9:16pm

What did boardsies make of that cover version of ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ (by June Tabor)?

Welsh Megaman · 05-08-2019 8:24pm

The full version of Paul Hardcastle’s ‘19’!

*frantic robotic dancing*

Welsh Megaman · 20-08-2019 8:18pm

Just try singing a Proclaimers song without putting on a Scottish accent.

See? Scientifically impossible.

When you goooooo....

Welsh Megaman · 20-08-2019 8:32pm

Philo would have been 70 today.

Is that him at the beginning of ‘Old Town’ who says ‘Ah, the ole Covent Garden...I knew it well.’?

Welsh Megaman · 27-08-2019 9:02pm

So far, two from Ian Dury and two from The High Llamas.

Sterling work, good sir.

RINO87 · 28-08-2019 12:03pm

Just as I commented on the Lyric fm thread that I thought John's shows were getting a little repetitive, he comes out with an absolute belter last night!! It was a cracker start to finish, faith restored (until I hear the war on drugs, AGAIN)

Can NOT believe someone texted in to complain about Planxty's version of Arthur McBride!

sligojoek · 28-08-2019 9:46pm

Did anyone catch the names of the blues artists there now? I missed the intro and outro.

Welsh Megaman · 29-08-2019 1:59pm

‘Tore Up’ by Otis Rush, then ‘Bogalusa Boogie Man’ by the wonderfully named Clarence Gatemouth Brown.

With a name and song title like that, you know he be all about de blues

AndrewJRenko · 03-09-2019 8:49pm

Celebrate. This party's over. I'm going home.

Last track on my the funeral playlist.

03-09-2019 9:08pm

Currently trying to build up a new musical library after having migrated from Spotify to YouTube music... This thread is fantastic for ideas via John Creedon.

Just looked up Ramblin Jack Elliott on Wiki after JC played him. Can't believe he's still alive, he always seemed like a man of a bygone era, even when I was a kid.

sligojoek · 03-09-2019 9:58pm

ATNM Have a listen to the dialogue at the start of this.

sligojoek · 04-09-2019 12:51am

After watching that, I ended up binging on Steve Goodman and John Prine.

G'night y'awll.

Add ‘Mary’ by The Four Of Us to your playlist.

Welsh Megaman · 05-09-2019 8:10pm

Starting with two from Blood Sweat And Tears!

05-09-2019 10:32pm

Who's in the box from (tomorrow?) night onwards? I'd have thought JC isn't off on holiday until the weekend, but I'm sure he said he was off after Thursday.

I like Fiachna but I reckon Lillian Smith would be another good choice at that time of the evening.

Very mellow when you've been listening to Olde Etonians barking at one another on the radio all day.

Those Estonians and their sense of entitlement.

I had been at the sherry last night when I wrote that.

In fairness, the Estonians would put that country right in jig-time. A British perestroika wouldn't go amiss.

John just said Fiachna will be sitting in next week, but as you say, Lilian is very good (she has covered for Creedo before IIRC).

Good perhaps but you wouldn't catch either of them starting off a show with Love Shack and two Dylan classics.
