    I remember seeing Amy Winehouse's name in the deaths section of wiki, a few years before it actually happened.

    EDIT: thought it was an awful rumour at first, RIP Barney.

    i was over in lithuania last summer when she did die and could only get bbc world on the tv. they were showing a live at the apollo on the evening she died and patrick kielty was on it and his opening line was a joke about ay winehouse dying and drugs. the show was a repeat from 2 years before

    Oh dear, I'm not sure Damien is up to this... I hope he read Chapter 14 of the Liveline Presenters Manual, "How to sigh convincingly and feign sympathy"

    Ah Jaysus,

    What happened to the good old days (the rare auld times?) when you could laugh your h0le off for an hour and 15 mins at Joe and his idiotic callers?

    Another RIP eulogy with a host of "stars" brought out from the RTE and Irish Cabaret circuit to pay their respects......in other words a yawn fest. Think I'll call in and ask for an update of how the model twins from the other day are getting on.......

    The Dubliners are one of this country's most loved musical acts. Certainly is.

    D'omen won't be able to mix it with these guys, before he knows it half the Unfunny Fiday crew will have gotten through to extend their sympathy and relate a salt'o de earth tale from Da Brazenhead or Donoghues.

    Wonder how many callers today will call D'omen "Joe" ? :D

    Im not saying its not worthy of the radio, but he only died 3 hours ago. Should they not contact people and stuff before they dedicate a show to him?

    Do the unfunny Friday people have much to do with the trad crowd though?
    Showbands and unfunny commedians mixing with talented musicians? For some reason I don't think they have much to do with other. I could be wrong,I'm guessing here.

    "Mick Foster is out of the country"..

    I'd say it'll be a while before he's back as well..

    Foster & Allen owe €3m each to Revenue
    The High Court has ruled musicians Foster and Allen must pay around €3m each to Revenue.The High Court has ruled that musicians Foster and Allen must pay around €3m each to the Revenue Commissioners. Michael Foster had challenged a judgment granted against him in 2008 for almost €3m in tax and penalties arising out of a €1m tax demand.

    There were some funny times, but not many of them coincided with Noel V Ginnity being up on the stage..
