Music on Radio - Irish Singer /Songwriters

Whats with these Gimps ? Huh ??

Heard some guy on Ronan Bland yesterday ..Fionn something I think....Collins played some of the most excrutiating crap I have ever heard from this guy ..such sh1te - how do these people get on national radio.?

Then on The Planks show this morn some bint called Valery Francis surpassed it with two caterwauling dirges and puffed her show Slow Dynamo somewhere to-morrow night.

Christ..these people should not be encouraged...not even in the slightest...somebody should tell them......

Who do they know in Montrose ? Hmmmm?

dib

Bitter much? :pac:

I heard Valerie Francis for the first time this morning and I thought she was fantastic. Will definitely be checking out the album.

As soon as I saw this thread, I knew it'd reference Kenny this morning. All respect to your woman, but it sounded like someone was torturing an accordian.

hehe,you could tell how underwhelmed Pat was. She was pretty terrible alright, her wailing was searching around for the harmonium to show her the right note and the songs were pretty bland & tuneless too, bedsit fare ...
and i'm normally appreciative of this kind of music

I heard it too,just before I left for a consultancy in Limerick, I had to check if the cat wasn't caught under the door or something.

As a matter of interest, there seems to be some kind of policy out there in the Cattery of putting on live unplugged acts on these current affairs shows?.

Most of them are fcuking dire to be honest.

Kenny was definitely unimpressed, very lukewarm response.

That Crown fellow is right.

No pal - check out "Hidden Hearing" or else clear the duff out of your ear trumpet.

You her brother ?

I heard yer wan on Kenny.

That was dire.

Didn't hear that Fionn lad but I think he featured on the Liam Clancy DVD. He seemed passable then.

Hold on actually, I don't think I slatted yer wan enough. It was one of the worst bits of wailing I ever heard accompanied by what sounded like a 6 yr old on an accordian. Kuck.

Yis are right boys.
More half arsed, lazy arsed production by those in reciept of the licence fee. A quick look at what's on in Whelans seems to be item 2 on the Production Meeting agenda for the Kenny Show. Item 1 being what'll that South African wan bring in on Friday and will there be enough for everyone in the office.
It also keeps alive Kennys street cred as a serious muso -second only to BP Fallon.
Either do a wider variety of music on these spots or just do what the lad Kenny is good at - current affairs.

I'm not your pal.

I'm not her brother, nor, as I stated in my previous post, had I heard of her before that PK show.

Hidden Hearing? I'm a sound engineer horse, and a pretty good one so I'd wager my hearing is top notch. Music appreciation has nothing to do with your hearing.

Congrats on a quality thread by the way. Solid gold stuff there.

To be fair to rte, both ronan collins and pat kennys shows regularly feature music of a non-commercial nature, and while it might not be everyone's cup of tea it does make a refreshing change to the overproduced manufactured 'music' you generally hear on commercial radio. My guess is that from listening to both programmes they are pitched at a more mature audience with rather different musical tastes to those individuals who find it offensive.

tbh

I have to agree, while I didn't like this particular performance, I'd still rather they played new Irish music that I didn't always like than stuff from the charts.
