    Late convert here. Great music and a really nice, easy presenting manner. Just made for evening journeys in the car.

    Don't get Nova here in Cavan, Today FM blocks everything around the 100 Mhz point of the airwaves.
    But will listen to him on playback.

    John Creedon has a really lovely radio voice and is so easy to listen to. None of those fake tones or affectation I associate with some other people who work on some radio stations around the country, particularly one in Cork.

    Great to sit down and put on the TV to Channel 200.
    Double gig for Creedo tonight. He's a guest on the LLS.

    Whenever I get the chance I will have Creedo on, can't beat his show, always a great mix, sometimes pulling pure gems out for a spin.
    Still chuckle to myself when I try to picture him as Terrance :D:D

    I had forgotten completely about Terence until I heard about it last week. It shows how versatile he can be.

    This is one of the few great music shows left on Radio.

    Creedon and to a degree - Paul Mcloone

    Dr. John's cover of Moon River, two from The Stranglers and then the mercurial Heaven or Las Vegas by the Cocteau Twins. Worth the licence fee along for these four tracks.

    Is that you, Joe?

    All joking aside, I haven't been able to listen to John for a while,other than 5 or 10 min sections. I got the last hour tonight while I was cooking. Top stuff.

    It took her a couple of tracks to settle in but Lilian Smith is an excellent stand in for JC. Pugwash, a reggae cover of I Fought the Law, Wallis Bird, LuLu's To Sir With Love and Sandy Denny; it's as if he isn't gone atall :)

    Edit; Coney Island. My week is made.

    A strong start from herself; the Madonna track was so wrong and yet so right.

    Lillian is going to be filling in for JC for the week. I wonder if she'll be doing The Weekend On One on Saturday too. A late finish on the Friday, and a very early start on the Saturday?
