Aye at work here with the radio blaring away, class. ;D
just by chance caught the last 25min on the way to training was a good show, whatever about the BBC and TV they can do radio well (after radio 1)
Without the BBC, broadcasting would be shite (radio especially) . The range of programming they offer would never be available on commercial
Talking of Christy - I think it was 2 years ago that I heard him on Radio 4's Desert Island Discs .. it was excellent stuff .. if you can access a copy it would be a good hours insight into the man... i.e. Kildare, his republicanism (think he said he disowned the IRA after Enniskillen) etc
That desert island discs broadcast with Christy was a cracker. Im looking for it online here but it must have been deleted.
Saw him playing in Trim there a couple of months ago, pure class!

DID will not be available as a listen again as there are rights issues apparently. He picked Ave Maria as his first track. Already picked for the funeral lineup ;)

Excellent point, we would all be surprised just how much we rely on the beeb for info, was reading about the Dalai Lama last week and the first thing he does in the morning (after meditation etc!) is check the BBC news.
When the hell does he poop?
only problem is he an absolute fake as an artist. Changes his accent to suit the times . Early stuff is pure ewan McColl english folk then moved to a Sub luke kelly Dub accent and now Not even he knows what it is.
And as for the comedy Songs please , how to kill a concert in 15 mins flat - sing about the rose of tralee and now with the ruby thing nothing but a milk and wwater version of 'The Galway races'
maybe thats more than one thing
I saw Luka at the Blues N Roots festival here three weeks ago. Dynamite stuff, but I still can't believe he and Seasick Steve were on so early when many overrated, underperforming ballixes were the so-called headline acts.
i was a great fan on christy's had loads of his Albums but for some reason just went off him don't know why. i saw a few interviews of him and just thought he came across as an arrogant so and so. Don't know when's the last time i listened to any of his music on my i pod , might just go out and buy his new album
Quotemight just go out and buy his new album
Don't, it's feckin usless! ... a matter of opinion of course, but if this is the best the much vaunted Christy can come up with, he'd be safer giving the studio a miss. He seems to have changed so much from his hey day about 20 years ago, I just don't like the material he does today. As for the Ruby song, he'd have been safer just singing the Galway Races.

Same as that Del- For long time I thought he was briliant then just tired of him... diddly diddle o!
I remember him being very popular circa 1994 when he released his Live at the Point Album.
