Tonight (Apr. 27) at 7 p.m. local Irish time (2 p.m. Mudcat?) the Irish radio station RTE Radio 1 is broadcasting a 45 min. doumentary on comic songs in the Irish tradition, featuring, Brian O'Rourke, Con O'Drisceoil, Sean Mone and Tim Lyons. Produced by Paula Carroll who, apart from being Brian O'Rourke's wife, is also a very fine singer, this should be worth hearing.

Link to

and follow to Radio 1 schedules to pick it up. I'm not sure if it is archived for a while after broadcast - I'll check.

p.s. if you listen carefully, you may hear me laughing in the background track!
