  • Irish Music's #1 Man on the Internet

    Been listening since Spyda Radio. Great source for listening and purchasing the best of Traditional Irish music. He treats all his listeners as friends. You'll look forward to every hour.

    If I ever get to London I owe him a few pints at least and a treat for Pangur Ban.
