Rob’s love and passion for radio started way back in 1962 when as a small boy for Christmas he was given the smallest transistor radio you ever saw. Rob started out in hospital radio many moons ago and has worked with a number of different stations over the years and most recently has been working with several online stations. Like many presenters Rob believes in radio the way it used to be: “If I can be a tiny fraction as good as my hero Sir Terry Wogan I’ll be a happy man. Mind you, in saying that, give me another couple of years and I might be nearly good at it.”
SUNDAY 10AM - 1PM

Travel wise Tony loves to unwind on a Carribean cruise with a few cocktails.

James Bierney hails from Wexford, Ireland. As a teenager he was told to have his voice trained and, no lion tamers being available, attended the Royal Irish Academy of Music. He spent the 1990s singing and broadcasting in South Africa. After moving to London he had twelve very happy years living and working in the UK. Since returning to Wexford he has given himself over to listening to music every day (which passes for work) and serious beard growing. He still sings but is too lazy for opera. In his show Classical Gas he proves that he has an encyclopaedic knowledge of music but absolutely no taste!

My name is Leo Kirby and I began my broadcasting life on pirate radio and then on student radio. Then I
broadcast on FM hospital radio where in 2011 I received Limericks Local Presenter of the Year Award for
Hospital Radio.
Also I presented on local FM radio from my home city Limerick in Ireland.
In more recent times I presented music shows on internet radio stations.
The music I play on my show called 50 Years and Rolling is extremely versatile From U2 to Calvin Harris,
from Steely Dan to Coldplay, from emerging acts such as Loah and Dermot Kennedy to classics such as
The Police and David Bowie
It is a must listen to show if you have any interest in music from the last 5 decades with an Irish soft easy
voice doing the links in between the tunes, with personality and high quality production thrown in.
Also I love extended plays and classic album tracks and trying to give up and coming recording artists a
break in the radio world.
Do please listen to 50 Years and Rolling whenever you can.
Any songs you would like to hear or requests please contact me on
50yearsandrolling@gmail.com

Eamonn Murphy country music to country music was in the late 60s, when I heard a bluegrass group called The Smokey Mountain Ramblers. The 1st singer I remember dancing to was Philomena Begley in the Kildara Hotel, Kildare town, from then on it was Big Tom, Brian Coll, plus lots of other country bands that visited the dance halls in the West of Ireland. The Lisdoonvarna Folk Festival around 1980 & the visit of Emmylou Harris with her hit at the time “Roses in the Snow” made an impact. In the late 80s and 90s a lot of pirate radio stations were up and running in the country, before the Government closed them down, I started in a station called “Country Gold” run by Country Bob Murphy it was near Daly’s Cross on the Dublin Rd. Later I presented on Galtee Radio, Irish Country Radio & a few years on a Community Radio Station in Kilkee, Co. Clare. “All were live & on F.M”. Then eleven years on Irishcountrymusicradio up to January 2021. I have been pre-recording a two hour country show called “Murphy’s Country” for quite a number of years including Country Music from different parts of the world and can be listened to on my f/b page & Murphy’s Country Facebook Page at any time. Thank You. Eamonn Murphy.

From a very young age, I used to play my big sisters singles and mimic Jim O’Neil back-announcing Kung Fu Fighting and Video Killed the Radio Star. I accidentally fell into community radio in the 80’s when someone asked me to cover their slot and I got hooked. Since living in Wexford in the late 2000’s I’ve been presenting rock shows on a couple of local stations in Wexford and Waterford. I feel there’s something really special about hearing a great rock tune on the radio so that’s all I’m trying to do-play good music on the air!ay
SUNDAY 2PM - 4PM
After a lifelong interest in radio broadcasting, especially those based on ships and
abandoned wartime forts (Big L, RNI & Laser 558), I started as a volunteer with Carillon
Radio (a hospital radio station) in 2007. Initially, I started recording programmes at the
studios, but a year or so later from home and have carried on ever since.
I left Carillon Radio after a couple of years and ventured into the big wide world of internet
radio. My main signature programme back then was “Easy Sunday”, and it continues
through to today. A wide variety of music from the 1950’s to the present day, together with
a number of features to keep you entertained. Radio as it should be, absolutely.
Hope you like it.
