 I've brought in stuff, got fantastic indeed. Enjoy the rest of your day, thank you. Is that it? Are you doing another one? Is that it? Do you want to bang another one? I haven't prepared, but I'd love something here. Alright, well that sounded good. We've got another track for them. Just around you can text us 08 660 25000 if you want to say hello to anyone who plays. Big round of applause. That was absolutely brilliant. Thank you very much indeed. Okay, right. We are going to be introducing our next guest now very shortly. In fact, we can say hello to Mary Jo, who, Mary Jo you beg your pardon. You are a joy to speak to. Sorry, may I forget that wrong. You are involved with the Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre. One of the beneficiaries of this event today. Can you tell us a little bit about what your centre does? It's been around since 89, is that correct? Yes, I founded it in 1989 and we are a small charity and we have young people with physical disabilities, learning needs, mental health. We also have older people with dementia that come to the centre and the horses, we use them as equine therapy for these people at great success, really great success. They have great fun. Some of them ride, not all of them ride but they come for sessions with the ponies and donkeys and anybody is welcome to come down and visit the centre and see the work that we do. Do you receive any funding from government or arms of the government or is it all through fundraising and donations? We don't, unfortunately, receive any money from the government. We are self-funding, we rely on donations and we are in just gratitude to today's event that have chosen us as one of the charities, very, very valuable to us. Do you find that often when people or the family of people that use your services, they then become more motivated to try and help with fundraising and donations because they see the benefits? We work, we come through organisations so we don't actually meet the parents and they don't actually meet us but when anybody comes to the centre, they see the value of the work that we do and they want to help us. We have a wonderful team of volunteers who give a lot of dedicated professional time to the charity. And it is wonderful the work that you do and many charities that do both here in Britain and at home in Ireland because it's not like this is an alternative in this way. They wouldn't see the progress or the development. There's nothing run by government or the health service to fill a gap like this. Exactly, I mean over the years it's calculated that we've had thousands upon thousands of young people have benefited through our charity and what is interesting is that we've got adults coming back with their young people who might have problems and because they've been through the charity and benefited they're bringing their children to the centre as well so it's an ongoing success for them. Excellent, well I'm delighted that yours was one of the charities that was chosen. Mary Joy, a big apartment CEO of Wormwood Scrubs Pony Centre. Thank you so much. It's a pleasure, thank you. Lovely to speak to you. Okay, that is just one of the charities which is benefiting from today's event. We are joined now by Maggie Tony who is the Chief Executive. Chief Executive Dementia Concern Ealing. Maggie, tell us a little bit about the work that you and your organisation does. Thanks, Greg. Well, first of all we're just delighted to be here and delighted to be one of the four charities that's been chosen. We are and we were founded by a London Irish woman called Frances English in the 80s similar to the world. Helen, I'm trying to follow this. English was our founder and she was London Irish and she founded us in the 80s. Frances was an Alzheimer's nurse and she came back to Ealing and realised there wasn't much here if you had somebody with dementia symptoms. So she sort of founded everything. So right now we have about 40 staff and we're in this borough here very close by and we basically work with anybody who is worried that they might have a loved one with dementia. We give advice and support or through the whole dementia journey because as you know dementia as a condition isn't getting any better. It's just always the support is only increasing. So you were asking our friend there earlier, are they funded by government? And I would say we're delighted to have a badge of honour which is that we have an NHS contract for delivering dementia link service here. So basically in Ealing if you go to your GP and you have dementia symptoms or your loved one has we're the link to the mental health team. And you are all right from the beginning as people maybe are trying to digest a diagnosis or the reality of it. And you've got years of experience and you know well it's a different experience for everyone but there are similarities that guide people through the process. And as you know yourself if you're dealing with sort of a very life changing thing if somebody says I've been there before I can help you that's really music to your ears isn't it? So I'm in post just since March but I'm surrounded by a host of sort of dementia experts and we've got incredible people who are in the caring profession. The money that we're getting today is going to our community support workers and they're our first line of defence. They basically go into homes and these are for live alone. So Greg if you can imagine having dementia and then you can imagine living alone. So these are the people we go in and check is there heating on, is there heating off on a day like this? Have they food in the fridge? Do they have sort of doctor's letters they haven't understood that kind of thing. And it's just when you think of it it's that amazing service that you do when you think of people with the absence of that what it must be like for them. Absolutely. And you know there's so much isolation after Covid especially but really important that for somebody with dementia they don't feel alone. Do you know what I mean? And I suppose we just want to say how delighted we are Greg to be here, to be picked and to meet lots of people today. I have some twiddle mitts with me. So these are things that volunteers make and if you have dementia you start to fiddle with things. So this just means they've something on their arm that they can sort of fiddle with. But you see from that level of understanding it is incredibly complex dementia, isn't it? There are hundreds of kinds of dementia but Alzheimer's would be the one that most people are familiar with. Well listen, continued great work. Thank you so much for joining us and I'm delighted again as I said to Mary Joy. How do you not lose the accent? Because I was only in London for four years and everyone believes me to be English but yet you were here for how long and you could have just walked out of Dunlira. I have to say I've been talking to London Irish around the place and people with good accents so it's sort of, I'm musical so I'm afraid it just comes back. But yes, there we go, it's a confused accent Greg but thank you for finding it. No it's not confused at all, that's my point. Listen, thanks so much for your time. Well of course, thank you so much indeed. That is Maggie Tierney there, Chief Executive of Dementia Concern. We're listening to a special show. We are broadcasting live from London. We are on the Chicano Cropon, I'm going to stop and shuffle my face in the camera there. We are live from London as I say and it's on the grounds of the Chicano Gales. We're standing on a football pitch but it's been transformed to this beautiful, beautiful venue. Okay let's see, now we can welcome on to the programme our next guest, Kevin McGinley, Tifty's Tavern. We stuck our heads in there last night and what a place it is, a little slice of Donegal. Kevin, thank you so much for joining us. Thanks Greg. Tell us, how long have you been over in London now? Five and a half years I agree. And do you enjoy it? I love it. What is it about it? Good Irish community and stuff. Everybody stacks together. What do you do over here? Obviously you've got Tifty's bar, I have a contract and company to. And how's that going? Good. We're talking about where we might be ending up with recessions or slowdowns what's the sense around London and the wider England as to the prospects for the next couple of years? At the moment there's no slowdown. We'll just have to take every day where it goes. Why did he decide to open the bar? He's one of them mattresses. I'm so open that it took off. At the moment I'm still doing it. When we were speaking earlier on to Brendan Vohen and we were talking about, you know, when you see his number come up on the phone, you know, he's not there to wish you happy birthday, he's looking for something. He's got you roped in here, you were working in the bar around the bar last night, and he's got you doing handy work around here. What is it about him that he can get people to do stuff? It's a lot of effort over here to give me a day like. Yeah, a lot of good fundraisers and stuff. You're doing yourself a disservice there too because you were involved in the amazing fundraiser for Rocco McGinney. It was part of Rocco's Road to Recovery and also Ellie McHugh's Ellie's Wish to Walk in May through the Irish community here. You raised 90,000 euro. I mean that's unbelievable money to be able to send home from London. It was an unreal, Greg. The money was raised by the people here. We had a good, the two McDade girls, Natalie and Daniel, Miss Health, Tina, Tiny, Joe Shovlon, Jim McHugh, we had a good committee like, and everything just went the sweet time. People wasn't fair to put their hand in their pocket. And of course too, in terms of trying to get all this together, Brendan made the call to you and thank you very much, for all the advice over here to allow us to be here. So Kevin, we really appreciate that. Thank you very much indeed. No problem with that, Greg at home. All right, and continued success. All right, take care of yourself. All right, that is Kevin McGinney there who is away now. If you're watching on the live stream, he's just gone. All right, I'm back here now. I'll wait 60, 25,000 WhatsApps and texts to that number. Where did my mic stand to go? How have I ended up holding a mic? My hands, I can't look at my phone to check texts. I can't do anything. So what we'll do is while we get our microphone stand set back up again. But just before we do though, if you want to say hello to anyone, feel free to either comment on the social media if you're watching or give us a text on 08 660 25,000 or call Caroline on 07 491 25,000. Loads of people for you to hear and see after the break. Here, what's the story with Ruth and her zero alcohol beer? Maybe she's doing dry jangry. She'll be on antibiotics. I'm not sure Ruth is fit as a fiddle. Maybe she has an important fiddle recycle. Nah, that was last week. It wasn't bad actually. Got the car with you tonight, Ruth. No, I don't. You never need a reason to enjoy a great tasting beer. Heineken Zero. Zero explanation needed.

Many thanks Maureen and Brendan Maureen of course is Brendan's better half and we're over here as their guests. And joining me now is the winner of this year's Mary from Dunnello the London Mary, Caitlin Vin. It'd be some crack if we came over here and we didn't see you wouldn't it? Thank you for having me. How has it been since it must seem a bit of a blur the event in Dunnello and up on the stage and the pride in your family and the week coming to what's it all been like since? I was just like in a blink of an eye months past and I think it's only really sunken in the last week and I was in the phone to Troy Gallagher the mayor of Islington I think that's what it kind of hit me so I rang Nanny again, Nanny Mary and she was like I think it's just cut off with you. Is there anyone who could be more proud than your Nanny? I'm really not sure I've ever met anyone as proud as your Nanny and the rest of the family but particularly her she's just at the high dole with your agility. Nanny granted, Anya mom they're all listening in today. Excellent stuff. So is this your first kind of function really since you were crowned? Yeah the first sort of thing I've had to dress up for there was a little girl in Dunnello on the Sunday of the festival and she lives in Twickenham so she was over at the university a couple of weeks ago and I put on the sash and crowned to get a few pictures with her. Lovely. Because we are in London and you're the London Mary right and we'd expect you to be here it's not like you live across the road here but London is a very big place so to get here in and of itself was a bit of a trek for you wasn't it? Yeah, four of us is for sure I'd rather be here than not so Do you remember to bring your shoes with you? I've got my trainers on today. I thought you forgot your shoes did you not? Right okay. Tell us about for those who aren't familiar with your story what you're doing over here in London because you're originally from you've been here for how long and what do you do? So I made over in September 2019 today my primary teaching degree in St Mary's University in Twickenham and I graduated in July and have since been working as a student life president in the Students Union so running events and campaigns and educating people about various issues that students deal with and we're starting to organize our RAG week which is raising and giving week so trying to put together charity events for that which is great. What is the you were contesting for a position you're taking this as a bachelor are you at the moment? That is the student life president so it was elected in March and you were the first woman ever elected to that position? Well done. Are you going to hang around here for the full day? Absolutely. Which is your favorite? Tough question. I am not going to stop can you tell me your answer? We saw Nathan Cullong I saw David James last night I'll be honest with you now our own David James he gives him a run for his money he's very very good now I must say I saw Nathan Cullong when he was playing in Dunlop at the festival a few years ago during the festival this year.

fantastic day that were happening here so the company Kelly group is founded in 1985 by Tim Kelly who we'll see later on were predominantly a telecommunications company and brand but we've also got a real division under our umbrella group we're also looking at EV Charquet and it's a rapid ascent really isn't it because in 1985 it was not that long ago to go from humble enough beginnings in Mayo in West Ireland to become this huge company now correct well Tim came over back in the 80s and lived in started off in the Camden Market Canaveria north London I think it was meant to be just travelling through and found a love for London and has settled here and has been here ever since obviously he has huge connections still with Crosses and Donegal and Donegal especially and back in the day we've even got a representation of his first ever vehicle and that him and his brother started the group wow so vintage festival we've got a 1985 CF 50 Bedford van and it's not the original model but it's the original model but not the original vehicle do you know what's bad when you're old enough that you were alive when a vintage vehicle was made I know I know well I was only 3 actually we're now dubbing letter Kenny and the only way is up he's Tim's very ambitious is that the information I have here carry on you tell us about where the company is going so most of our patients are based in the UK that's a different company I was thinking I haven't heard about that Greg, can you catch me off guard whoever those notes relate to I was thinking you're a pro when you got through it mostly based here beginnings are in mail mostly based here tell us a little bit about the work I know you've mentioned it but we started off our first installation was in 1985 so Tim's an opportunity in the market back then went for the cable TV market and his first installation was for Croydon cable in September 1985 and we installed cable televisions for that and then the company basically grew from there from that opportunity of the government giving bits and pieces for the television market I know that you were stuck in here at the last minute I've asked you questions for a different person and you've handled it perfectly your company's going to be very proud of you thank you so much well done thanks very much for that 08 660 25000 whatsapp and text to that number or give us a call on 07491

solutions dashcams we've been known to each other one of the upstairs windows of the house has been damaged and a forensic investigation is ongoing the public's concern is mounting over the cost of living crisis that's after an Ireland thanks opinion poll in today's Sunday independent revealed that 37% of people say they'll be unable to pay their soaring energy costs this winter 39% said they'd have to cut back on other costs to afford their increased bills the charity alone says over 1000 older people could face difficulty with food and heating this winter its chief executive Sean Moynihan says we now need targeted interventions especially for older people living on their own or older people totally reliant on the state or small private pensions they're already making the co-packs

the British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss or former British Chancellor Rishi Sunak will be moving into number 10 Downing Street reporter with the Guardian newspaper Ben Quinn says it looks like Liz Truss will emerge the winner it is largely regarded now as a foregone conclusion in terms of who's going to win this race and that's for a couple of reasons the bookies are Liz Truss in the driving seat ever since she managed to edge her head off others in the original first phase of the conservative leadership which just involved MPs and finally NASA's third attempt at launching its new test

with showers between 17 and 19 degrees celsius that's all from the news desk for now I'll be back at 2 o'clock with another news update but until then good afternoon I'm casting across the northwest on air and across the world online but also streaming the show if you want to watch it across our social media and our website highlandradio.com or you can go to our YouTube Highland Radio Ireland or our Facebook pages okay and keep your requests coming in to us too actually it's going to be on a program where it can be more request focused so it's great to hear from so many of you today well Gail Martin is director of economic development information systems and emergency services with Donegal County Council and you're very welcome to this program guides are setting quite beautiful isn't it, it's great to see the sun at fantastic day as you know we've been doing a lot of I suppose branding positioning Donegal as a good place to actually live and to work and to come to visit and this is part of that we've developed a new brand image and behind that obviously we need to have some substance and the substance very much I suppose is around the opportunities that exist for people to actually come to to re-locate and Donegal in the back of Brexit to do some remote working in the context I suppose of the learnings that we took following COVID and in the context of the Council's work we're really interested in talking to people who want to work and collaborate with us as we do various regeneration investments across the county and we really anxious to talk to private sector developers including some of the folks that are here in London today and who have an affinity and I'll link with Donegal to see if there are any areas that they might want to talk to us on and this is now about getting the begging ball out this is about saying what's mutually beneficial for us here do you know that now maybe when you left Donegal 10 years ago it was like this this is what we're even people that are still within the county it's about what's mutually beneficial what's supporting and enhancing and developing the business but also the county as a whole I think sometimes we assume that people should know what we're doing Donegal and I'm going to look at the reality to communicate very very clearly what it is we're doing and what we're ultimately aiming to achieve and like that people who have been working or were they being in London or elsewhere for a period of time you don't have that immediacy of listening to the news or reading in the media what's actually happening in the ground locally as long term multi-annual plans for regeneration across so many other towns and villages there's a huge amount of funding that may be available through the National Development Plan 2040 and I won't say that we're really really anxious to have the private sector work with us in areas supporting economic development housing and we don't have an area that they might be actually interested in and we're actually having conversations with people at the moment that I think hopefully will lead to something happening in the ground back home just in terms of sort of one of the initiatives relocating to Donegal what I think is important is that on programs like mine during the week people who want to you know in the past would have highlighted the complications of it in terms of say insurance that kind of stuff now we have agencies like the council and others recognising getting information together and seeing what supports etc can be offered look and we don't claim to offer a panacea to all challenges there's still frustrations that people have and we're trying to work that through the political system and instances such as swapping driving licenses particularly from outside of the European Union to give people an opportunity I suppose to consider relocating or coming back home to Donegal again and we're offering those types of concierge services, those advisory services to give people I suppose a quick access to the best information possible and to the best advice possible to assist them in whatever query they might have okay and also to remote working in Donegal I mean that's becoming more achievable in all different types of areas yeah I mean one of the positive things that came out of Covid was that it proved I suppose a social experiment that proved that you don't have to work with a big glass out of us along a city key in some large city to be able to do your work in the modern industry Covid forced an awful lot of people to consider where they could work from a lot of them came back to Donegal we have really really really good broadband and fibre connectivity across most of the county and it's continuing to develop in our more real areas that gives people an opportunity to work from parts of Donegal in the same ways they would from any major city Covid proved that and I think alongside the quality of life and the added experience that people have when you're back working in a beautiful environment such as Donegal, people started to I suppose to question and ask their values you know it was a time to consider relocating and we have hundreds of stories from people who have actually done that successfully so it's not me telling people what the virtues of it is it's actually happening on the ground and it's a great opportunity for people now after a point in time in their lives or if it's a point in time in their lives who are considering doing it a few years during the time we're really anxious to talk to those guys as well and we want to give them the best advice possible and how they may achieve that objective and also too obviously as we move forward with these type of plans we do have to make sure that you know services are enhanced this is not all the role of the council it's available and we know the challenges there but that we have the health infrastructure and all agencies have to work together don't they but we do and look the council is pivotal to that we're not with all development agencies both national, regional and local you know across the whole range of areas and instances where there's common cause you know for example that's a matter of course with the HSE and the GRD to try to make sure we get the best outcomes possible and instances such as like that similarly in areas like economic development obviously with the IDA and Brazil and with the private sector where they interface with a week and actually assist investment opportunities and Gary

mentioned it in a couple of previous interviews lots of familiar faces because there's a huge Irish population as there always has been for generations but particularly quite a few as well a lot of people have made their home here you can't hear me quite okay I'm just saying there's a huge Irish population here there's a huge Irish population here we've got a lot here this morning already and it was great we just went to make a family I was sitting in a boat with the Dunnegal there's a new Dunnegal jersey at the castle's and it's good to see he loves and works here they were home last month they've seen the jerseys and loved them and they're all here, it's good to see them in the family and I don't know what the legs are but there's a lot of people who do very well over here over the years young people even over here and even last night and that's a lot of young people from there and they seem to do very well and of course too a lot of people have done very well over here and also it's about coming over here reaching out to them and talking about the investment opportunities for them certainly that's one of the main reasons we've heard any Dunnegal County councils here is to tell you people to come back especially people who have done very well here maybe think of them, come back home or even ask them to come back and invest some money in our county to tell them to help us and get jobs under our county get housing under our county it's a set to go just before I speak to you too even if you have been away 10 years from Dunnegal things have changed, we have made positive moves in the right direction do you know, so maybe do you not agree with me? I'm glad you said you think I'm negative, do you? No, no, I'm not saying that we are moving forward we'll be a slow pace since we've moved a slower pace to the rest of the country all the time it seems to me that we're trying to change that and it's not going to be changed overnight and we're not going to be changed over here but we are moving forward and I think there are those great investment opportunities and help us to move the county forward as we should you're supporting this new shirt? do you like it? or are we just doing it because it's a lovely shirt how do you get one on? if you give me 50, you're going to go 50, I hope I get changed 50 won't be too bad I'll thank you for the change as well what are we looking forward to today? obviously it's great to meet and greet you have a business hat on and I hope it's an opportunity for you you're looking forward to Nathan Carter or are you a Nathan Carter fan? I'm looking forward to meeting Nathan Carter I think he's coming over there to go I'm looking forward to going around it's a fun day to show him I'm a fan of himself I'm not showing you down the back there I'm just hoping to enjoy it again I'm trying to meet as many people as possible I'm trying to meet as many people as possible from around the county I'm delighted for that because as I said earlier on to midweek there was rain forecast for all of Sunday and it got the weather and we know ourselves from different events that be organized the weather is king isn't it and I've been blessed with this weather today the weather makes for a Brexit event and fortunately here today it's an accident it's mostly 23 or 24 degrees it feels very warm, the sun's not out but it is warm enough for the day it's in it we had a meeting the other day they're out here at our state we have to nature I imagine there be a darkness for me in the whole show tomorrow there's going to be a lot of talk about what I'm going to use now because we're here in London I think there's going to be a lot of talk about our infrastructure and stuff and I think it's a conversation that needs to be had that will be done in the whole show tomorrow and thanks very much I just wondering is it a good thing I'm not going to take the 50-year-off how are you getting the presents Thank you. I've only asked for a million times. Do I get a handshake and everything? I feel like I've just been awarded the freedom of going to go, you know? Paul McGinley, wait, wait, wait. All right, listen, thanks very much for that. Finally, I've got my shirt here, Kevin. Can you grab that? Cheers. They're quite nice, you know, especially if people maybe want to wear their county on their chest, but maybe they don't like football shirts or whatever. So I wish them all the success in the world with that. Okay, let's take some requests. Let me see. Where are we? Okay. How are you all from London? From the Isle of Doe and Claremony? Listening in. It's great to have you on board. Hey, please say happy birthday to my granddaughter, Annie Brennan, for yesterday and today. My grandson now. And some Jim and daughter, Siobhan, from Granny and Kayla. Can you please play Nathan Carter? Thank you. I can't. I don't know. Do we have Nathan Carter there? Do we? We're laying up a bit of Nathan Carter, you know, because we are going to take a piece of music. He's going to be performing live here upon this stage. I think around about five o'clock. So a listener wants to hear some Nathan Carter. Are you going to play his new one? What might do his new one? Okay. Hi, Greg. I'm doing all the best to the London Irish Association. Thanks. What are you doing for home regards to from Councillor Michael McCafferty? It's kind of business. We're in and then we're out. Missing the Vintage Day. For the first time this year, I have moved back from London last year to Donegal with our three boys. We met at the Vintage Day nine years ago. And our family happily married since 2016. Missing Roman Dad, Michael and Theresa, especially today. I'm sure they're having great fun. That comes in from Anthony, Grace, Colin, Roman and Donald. What a beautiful request. I'm glad you're here. Sorry, I'm glad you're listening. I wish you were here. But that's a couple that met at the Vintage Show nine years ago, then got married and have three wonderful boys, and have moved back to Donegal. This is not great to hear, and I hope everything is going really well for you back home. Damon Gaspin, his wife, Caroline and children, Matthew and Emma, living in London. Hello from Mum and all the family. As I say, we are broadcasting live here from the London Vintage Day. It is the 10th year of it, depending on this event for 12 years. And there is genuine, lovely buzz around the place. If you're watching on our social media, maybe you might get a sense of that. But it's time to take a little piece of music. Let's do that now for the person who requested it, especially when we play this journey from Nathan Carter. Okay, you are very welcome back, and that was, of course, Nathan Carter. And I'm delighted to welcome into studio our next guest now. We're not into studio, it's into where we are. Hopefully you can hear me okay. Mary Rose, can you hear me? I saw the camera. It's good to have you with us. Thank you very much indeed. Now, Mary Rose, you're about to take to the stage. You're first up. The crowd's building up lovely. You're looking forward to the gig. Absolutely, looking forward to this date. Everyone here right now is so excited. The weather is good, and we're just looking forward to having a great day here, Greg. No, there's a big stage. They've constructed a wooden stage, which I think is a nice touch, actually. Absolutely. Of course, you didn't really have to do that. Not at all. It's your job to fill it. Do you think you can? I am not a brother. Anyone from Donegal will be out there to support me today, that's for sure. Mary Rose, tell us about your new CD. I started to have a selection of Filomena's most popular songs, and it's going down a bomb at the moment, yeah. Has the lady herself given you any feedback? She certainly has. We spoke prior to recording it, and give me every best wishes that I could, that hopefully that everything will go our way with it. And to know what the thing about people like Filomena Begley, Danilo Donegal, all the greats, you know, they set a path. You know, it's not only that you probably love their music, or you hold them in great admiration, but it's they that really, and those that went before them, that have us here today, you know, a lot of people in the entertainment industry. Absolutely. You know, without them, you know, we wouldn't be here at all. Right, OK. You are going to have to get up on stage. I have to say, you're looking fantastic. Thank you so much. So, fair play to you. You're going to sing us, one moment now. You're going to sing us a couple of bars, my arrows. Do you know what? I will, Greg. We're going to try our best. And you know what? That's our anthem over here. But not just for Donegal people, but for everybody I wish here today. You know, that's what it's all about, being together, enjoying ourselves, and hopefully... I'm not going to mention your guitarist here. Oh, I couldn't be without this guy. You know, he's our lead guitar player in the band, Mitch Palmer from London here, and he's my number one... I love the strap with the banding on. Ah, fair play to you. Do you make him wear that, Mary Rose? Do you make him hurt? Of course, of course. OK. OK, guys, whatever you're ready. Just a little bit of... We're going to do a verse and a chorus of this wonderful, wonderful song, and it goes like this... The lights of London are far behind The thought of homeland are crowding my mind From all your places Call me out to view See my home now Soon I'll talk to the old folk While they're getting on Trade them to late nights We'll sing a few songs The days fly by There's so much to tell there The days fly by This is my... Mary Rose, we didn't want to wear out your vocal chords too much before you. I love the way you just give him an elbow. I'm wrapping it up now. It has to be done now again. It gives you goosebumps. The best. Let me just say hello to everybody at home, my family, friends around Dunlop, the Rassus Guidor and the whole of Donegal. And, of course, you'll hear Mary Rose on Highland Radio and other radio stations and her single attribute to the wonderful Philomena Begli's out there now. Listen, thanks so much, Mary Rose. You're a good sport because I know it's not an ideal setup. A man walks up with a pint. You don't get up on the stage. A man behind me, he's got a... St. Brigitte's crossing one end and a pint in another. Where else would you get a... Thank you so much. All right, OK, that was Mary Rose there. And the fans here, the audience here who you can see if you're watching us on social media are all gathering up towards the stage because very, very shortly Mary Rose is going to be up there singing. David James is up there. Nathan Carter is also going to be performing a little later on. So it's all very, very exciting. Indeed, OK. Let's take a break. What, 25 minutes to go on this program. If you have any requests or dedications, get them into us right now. Shall I run through a few? Kevin, you haven't pressed the button yet, have you? Your trigger finger over there. Thank you very much indeed. I'm good to Kevin Fury, taking him to London with me. Where else would you get it? Please say hello to my mom, dad, sister and cousin. They're at the Vintage Show. And Granny Margaret, England. They're going to win in Australia. So we've Kira listening in Australia, saying a big hello to our mom, dad, sister and cousin who are here in London at the Vintage Show. And she's also saying a very special hello to our beautiful Granny Margaret in Glenealy in Donegal. That is some triangle. They're talking about the old triangle. There's one there for you. OK. We'll take that break now. Be back in a couple of minutes. Remember, all our painting and DIY accessories are also still all half-priced. But they're gone. They're definitely gone.

Okay, you're very welcome back to Chicano Girls G.A. Park here for the 10th year of the... Well, it's the 10th anniversary of the London Vintage Show. Paddy Flannery, founder of Flannery Paddy. Good morning to you. Good morning. Good afternoon. Sorry, I'm all confused. Come in. Tell us about you establishing Flannery Plant Hire. Back in the 70s, was it? Yeah, in the 70s. When I came here in 69, and I was labouring for a couple of years, I saved up a deposit by the first JCB. So, I started off in 1872 with work piece. What a growth, and it's an awful lot of effort, but a lot of time. You started off with one JCB. That's right. And how many machines do you have now? One and a half thousand now. Unbelievable. I support 1800 families across Britain, don't you, through employing people. That's right. We do, yeah. Did you ever imagine it would scale to this size? No, never did, but I got to go on so much, and then my sons came into it, and they brought two different levels in. And then it's gone from... Was it hard for them to convince you maybe that you could go in different directions as well? Oh, yeah, well, we grew into it gradually. So, we got... What philosophy of the company is it about working towards the future, training, innovation, all that type of stuff? Yeah. You can't really stand still even in a very successful business, can you? No, well, we like to help out young people now to get them a chance to learn how to drive machinery and stuff. Paul knows more about that. Because this piece of machinery you have, from the outside it doesn't really tell the full story. So what is going on? What can that unit do? Yeah, so three or four years ago we set up a training centre in Birmingham. But we found the need that we needed a mobile training facility. So we can take this trailer anywhere in the country, upskill people, train new operators. There's three simulators in the back of it, which is great for training young people, getting used to the controls of the machine, and then letting them out on a real machine in a real working environment. But it has to be to a certain standard, doesn't it? Particularly for people who have been in the business for a while, tell us how immersive it is, what's the experience like? It's great because there's so much new technology now with machine control. Operators have been driving for 30 years. They've never used it before. So they can go in and simulate it and they can learn it and the man can stand next to them. Whereas if they're out on site, you can't stand next to someone and show them what they're doing. That experience has to be transferable to real life too. So it's the creme de la creme of technology, I imagine. Yeah, it's pretty good. You have to have a go and later we'll test you out on it. Right, now I have a note here too about your company looking for apprentices, apprentices offered apprenticeships. Talk to me a little bit about that. Yeah, we've probably got over 100 apprentices now throughout the country and we're now able to run the courses ourselves. So yeah, there's a lot over there taking in details of people or people can go on our website and register there. Brilliant stuff because I think it's changing a little bit in Ireland. We could have an over focus maybe on people going into third level or third level but I think in Ireland we're getting better at recognising that there are skill sets that we need in other areas as well such as construction and it more broadly, would you agree with that? Yeah, 100% there as well and people don't realise that and it's a good industry to get into, there's plenty work and yeah. Do you still love the first JCB? I should have it, it's here. What did he say? Something at the corner. That one that's just to the left? Yeah, with the light. I'll stand up right here. I know. I know. Thank you very much indeed. Thank you very much as well for appreciate your time this morning. 086, 60, 25,000. You don't have very long to get a request in. I hope you can hear me okay. We're heading off the programme and things are starting to live and up here the music is starting. I think I have another couple of requests here that need to get to. Here we are again, two hands. Please say hello to Nana, Kath and Grandad, Joe Grant, watching online in Bali Liffen, from your granddaughter Evelyn, who is at the vintage show today. If she's here, get her to come over and say hello before one or two o'clock and we'll see if we can get her on camera for you. Michael Ewnan, Jim McFadden, from Carragard who is over here today enjoy from Marie and Arshine. Also, a special request from Mum, Margaret McDermott, Tara Hawke, Glen Ealy, and the wonderful team of carers, Joanne, Mawin, Maeve and Anya. Can you play Up the Dive? That comes in from Helena, Paul and Sinead. Okay, right. That's not going to be possible, unfortunately. We are not going to get to Nathan Carter today because he got stuck in traffic. But I think we can take a quick break. Okay. Pardon? Yes. Oh, we have Up the Dive. Oh, fantastic. Well done. Right, so whilst we get our next guest lined up, it's a racket here, folks. I don't know how loud it is for you listening back at home or wherever you are, but we're going to take a piece of music. Here is Up the Dive and then we'll be back with more here live from London.

And a little later on, David Geformer here live as is Nathan Carter. And I hope now Nathan can join us on the telephone line. Nathan, good morning to you. Good afternoon, sorry. Good afternoon, Greg. How are things? I'm okay, I'm okay. I'm here waiting on you to turn up. Where are you? I'm at the gate, would you believe? Trying to get through the crowds of people. Yeah, it's very busy. And Camere, this is another, this has been a really busy summer for you. You've been in Donegal, you were in Downing. It's not so long ago. Now we're going to get to see you here live in London. Has that been that kind of place Yeah, it's been really busy. Thank God. After the last couple of years, I suppose it's been a great relief and people seem to be enjoying live music more than ever, as you say, called Manny. In Downing more recently, we had the pleasure of, Mr. Daniel O'Donnell on the stage and we did a couple of songs together. Yeah, it's been a really, really good festival season, not just for myself, but for all the singers and bands out there. People coming out to enjoy live music. I'm going to let you go in a moment to let yourself get in here. But you're already looking towards 2023 already, aren't you? I mean, 2022 to go. Yeah, we've a lot of gigs lined up now. We're actually doing a gig in Lederkenny at the start of next year in the Clammery, which we're about to announce very shortly and going over to America for a few weeks for our first tour there in a long time. So promises to be a really busy next 12 months, thank God. All right, Nathan, listen, thanks for being a good sport and joining us on the telephone line. Okay. All right, take care. Thank you. I think did he say he wanted to speak to David James? I don't know what he said. All right, listen, thanks for that, Nathan. As you can imagine, it's quite noisy here now with the concerts being. I just want to say hello to Connell and Francis Gallagher in Macquarie Dunlow. Your daughter, Caroline. And we've got more requests coming in here thick and fast, too. Enjoying a great show. That's Margaret Rose. All we are very proud of you. Keep up the much-valued work. See you soon in our draw. Let's see what other requests we have here. Have a fantastic time at the Vintage Show. My first one. That's coming in from Noel Gallagher in Balabavane. Noel, great to have you here and great to have you texting in. Wishing Joseph Shovlin and all the team a great day in London. Fair play. I'm all the great work from Connell, Bernadette and Sean Shovlin in our draw. Hello to all the staff in Tiffy's Tavern why they were busy last night. They were absolutely wedged. So they earned the money last they earned the money last night. Hello to Pat, Majella, Edward and all in the Thamon Village in the Isle of Tuck. Here it is. All right, come here. I'm taking my headphones off for a second. Because we are now joined by Nathan. You better say hello to us now. Come here. Hostings, very good. Listen, you're a good sport. That is hard to hear in the car. Mary Rose is getting things warmed up. Nice to see you, sir. Come here, you said you are you've got a Kenny gig coming up. Yeah, we're delighted to be doing all the gigs around Ireland and the stars of next year and that is one of the dates that we do. We haven't done a gig in the Kenny in over five years so it's going to be great to get all around it. You just haven't been there. I know, okay. But we don't get to go all that often. As you were saying, we've got downings and we've got money. Really great crowds came out to see us which was fantastic in downings particularly given the weather. You're not going to see a same deluge here tonight. We had a laptop on stage and it's officially died by, you know, bloody old people. They don't care about the weather. They come out and they enjoy themselves. Stay and try for Daniel. I thought it was a flash of light but it's a tiny one. I thought it was happening again. It was stayed and tried for Daniel so we must have a direct line to God. I don't know what's going on there. We managed to get to the end of the show and as people stuck around though they didn't care about the weather. Okay, listen, thanks for being a good sport. Thanks for coming up and chatting to us. We look forward to seeing you later, can't we? Cheers, yeah, and we're looking forward to this afternoon. It looks like a really, really good event. My first time ever here so you never know. We might be on a tractor later on. Don't bother to. David, come over here, will you? David, James. Now we can use this one. You're flat out gigging. Very busy. Had a great night last night in Dunnings and Wembley and you were there and Kevin was there in Donna Marie in Massive Crowds. You're on at three, I think, is it? So my manager, Greg Hughes, tells me I didn't know that. Come here, you look like you're looking to plug something. Are you doing any trips lately or recently or soon? Ah, yeah, we're very busy. I was in Spain there Thursday, Friday, here yesterday and I'm heading to Lowestoff tonight and then I have my Galway trip coming up in October so it's fully booked so we're really, really looking forward to that and plenty of very busy winter, actually. Come here, and the gig last night, a different type of gig. Obviously, you know, you're doing big stage. It's a big pub, don't get me wrong, but I think sometimes they're more enjoyable gigs. I know they're all lovely, but you can see the whites of the eyes and it's interactive and... Well, last night was a great gig in Dunnings. As you said, it was like a bar gig and it was very relaxed and it was just great. There was a super atmosphere and it gives me the chance to do different kinds of songs that I wouldn't particularly do in my normal country set. Songs from the Killers and everything in there. I thought I was wondering what's going on here. I like to mix it up a bit and the crowd last night were brilliant, like the place was pumping. Right, just to give people the idea of the life of a country music store or however you might describe yourself, you've got the hour also here, another gig tonight back on Highland Radio tomorrow afternoon. Yeah, so I do my gig here and then I'm going to a place called Lowestoff which is about two and a half hours away for tonight's gig. Then tomorrow morning I'm flying from Stanstead into Derry all in time for the jive time. The pressure's on now, you better be there David. I'll be there. If I must have flight tomorrow we're snookered because Kevin's going to be here. It's been mad to get into your boots for quite some time, you know. Well, I know that and he loves his country music too. Listen, good stuff. Thank you, thanks for being such a good sport. Alright, let us take a quick break.
