    I remember Horslip Jim Lockhart, my favourite stand in, was on one night and his intro was: "This is Jim Lockhart standing in for....well, just about everybody at this stage." It was clear it had become a laughing stock to everybody at that stage. I think Alf still has a show somewhere, or a podcast maybe, i keep meaning to check it out.

    Fiachna's shows sound a little incestuous tho because of the Irish thing. I'm all for playing Irish music but when he's on they all text in praising each other and reminiscing about times on the road etc.... He also seems to bring a crew of regular "late daters" along for the ride. A bit sickening really and has made me switch off a few times

    Yeah, name and accent are my top reasons for liking or disliking someone. Never let me down yet.

    Missed the Sister Rosetta but at least caught the Geoff Muldaur. Another creedon introduced me to god knows how many years ago when he played the Wild Ox Moan.

    One of the best radio presenters. Great speaking voice easy to listen to. Nice music mix to boot.

    The Atrix - Treasure on the Wasteland

    Stone cold classic! Great Irish band, should have been way bigger than they were.

    Was that the Dem Bones track?He played a different version of it last week. Great track.

    And love the song he's playing now. Her name is Susan O'Neill i think. Lovely voice.

    Edit: Ciara O'Neill it is, la lune is the song. Really like it.

    Not a huge fan or anything, but very mellow and relaxing from the stuff I've heard. Jools Holland had him on his show a while back and came across a very likeable fella.

    Creedon is the best thing on RTE radio at the minute hands down. The spread of music he covers is amazing.

    This sounds more like something you'd hear on Today FM in the middle on the day, have to say I don't hate it.

    Creedon plays good music but he is not up to date unless he started recently... i do not think i ever heard him play anything that was new...

    He plays CMAT a lot, and I've heard him play the likes of Clare Sands and Padraig Jack and others as well, hardly established names.

    Good to hear John Francis Flynn picking up a few awards last night, his album is brilliant. We saw him supporting Lankum in Cork towards the end of 2019 and were blown away.

    Donal Dineen featured him on one of his "make me an island" podcasts towards the end of the summer, really worth checking out!

    Folk seems to be a very broad music genre. Just heard Susan O'Neill and Mick Flannery on the radio (really good song), but If asked to describe it, I wouldn't have called it Folk.

    I love the stuff they are doing, not sure if you'd say it's pure folk, but I'd struggle to put any other label on it either. I think they both fuse different styles in their work, but with enough of a folk grounding, pushing the boundaries i guess. Works for me anyway!
