 The Christmas Day on Highland Radio Saturday morning. Beautiful song indeed and Jordan said could you dedicate that to Adele Doherty and also got the inspiration. I said to play it for me Aunt Marie. So there you go Jordan. A great song it is indeed. I'm delighted to say I'm joined in studio here now by Jimmy Stafford, a new comedy that we're doing here. What's crack? I can hear you now. Somebody has come in too. There's Oscar, see Oscar here look. Where's Oscar? Oscar next to me look. Yes, Oscar. There's Oscar. Do you want to sing a song Oscar? No. No. No do not. And Karine and Anja, they look very tired aren't they? How do you know why don't you? Ah, last night. Lash. Again? Can we have that there to see, does that big TV screen come up? Do you know how to work that? There's the remote there look Karine. That's a very high tech. Saturday morning Paul. Some boys, I was in town buying you a present. You must have left it on the town now because I don't see it here. Some boys. I never let them work on the technology. Come here with a brilliant buzz. The reason why you're on here is because we had delighted and honoured to have Mirren Gallagher up with us on the, Bradley, Mirren Bradley. I keep seeing that. On the Monday night sessions past. Oh my God, what a reaction. Unbelievable Paul isn't it? I know we're going to talk about next Monday night, the Christmas show, which is live here in studio and we'll talk about that. But I think last Monday you and I have had about a hundred conversations this week, if not more. And like what happened last week? Probably we're nine years doing the show, Paul, isn't it? Nine years, that's right. And when you see what happened last week and all by chance really in some way, wasn't it? It was just by chance because we had a jam-packed programme as it is going on for two hours. But because Brandon's DL Debate has finished for the year, we were kicking off last Monday night and this Monday night from seven o'clock until ten. And that gave us a bit of space, which we had to edit it in to play new music at the contest. But you gave me a call and said do we have someone who would love to come on the show? Well I was in Cove last Friday night and I met a neighbour of mine who said had you heard Myrne Bradley and she was RT album of the week and did a bit of googling and came up with Soft, Terry McGinty had done the album in his studio and messaged Terry and the rest is history. And he gave me John's number, Martin Burden's dad and contact John's at any chance she come up and lo and behold we've gone on a half seven. But it just by your reaction, Paul, you had the headphones on listening to her here. It was just something else. It was one of them feelings. We had Sean Gallagher on a couple of weeks ago and we had Sean Gallagher on a couple of weeks ago and we had about 135,000 views in that one. And that was just unbelievable. It was incredible. It was on their own. And we had, so then we had Muranon, Muranon and it was just something that stopped me as I was playing. I just blew it clean out of the water. We did a little video upstairs over here, there's a beautiful background and we posted that. And as of now it's at 301,000 views. But Paul, the thing about it, it's not just what I'm struck by is the comments that are coming from some of the top stars across the globe. And I mean, there's some musicians out there who are gifted in their own way. I mean, Paul Brady shares something like that, you know, something special. Johnny Brady is smart. Pat Gallagher from the Goats put a most amazing, beautiful comment up during the week. Every musician that I know has a fakenal brain on and it's gone further than that. It's in America. It's trending because Alistair Hayes getting messages left, right and centre. Alistair Hayes getting messages from people in America who, you know, he's connected with three of the guitars and stuff. So it's coming right back around. And Paul, a big shout to Terry McGinty, you know, for Terry's working way in the background in studios, promoting producing albums and engineering albums. And this for him, you know, is just delighted for Terry. It was a combination of years of work. This isn't it really. And people like Terry that don't normally get dimensions such because they're in the back producing and doing what they love doing. But well done, Terry McGinty. Yeah, it's a full credit. The way this has been handled, the way the production, it's just amazing. It was a one take album. One take album. Yeah. And incredible. And just even the Irish Times review this week is just amazing. Just to read it and we know a lot that happened this week. Yeah, we can't say obviously. Yeah, yeah, there's other things massive things. Yeah. And I mean, one of those is where we're both she's playing the cobblestone and Dublin February, February, the third, third, and we're booked in about tickets yesterday. And she's doing London in Glasgow as well. Small little gigs for now. So we were gonna go up there. But that's gonna be that's gonna be cracker. Oh, really? But you know, John was driving her up last week, Paul, you know the story. And he said she was our first radio interview. And she was very nervous. And he said don't be were nobody's listening to just your grandmother. And then she's laughing because she and John, you can tell the stories that Murn's wearing one of our oldest jumper. And her slippers, her slippers in the video. She didn't know there's cameras cameras. So it's just it's just amazing. It's lovely to be part of a Jimmy. It really is. It's just an amazing, just an amazing thing that we have local talent. And what do you know the thing about it? Murn has bring in has bring an old style 20s and 30s blues, I believe to a new audience, brand new audience, you know, is absolutely. It's something you it's from the 90s. You know what you close your eyes. And I know people out there listening to one of what are they on about who's like, I know you're going to play a track very shortly, but close your eyes. And if you're driving, don't close your eyes. But just no, don't close your eyes. You're driving, if you're in danger, like you can visualize yourself back in 1920s. Mississippi America. You could remember yourself back in 1920s. I wouldn't know. That's that's what I meant. So I remember back in 1920s when I was in Mississippi America and just listen to that type of music. You had no one in it, you know, shorten me back. You just cigar box guitar made of a new cigar box, but won't be sticking in it and fishing got for strings. But there were great times. Do you know what I mean? We didn't want for much. And it was lovely. It stood well. But Paul, just in general about Monday nights, and I think it's important that you know, the last nine years, we've had hundreds and hundreds of between jazz funk rock punk, classical poetry. And I think when you see the people that are coming up and already Paul, we're into March, April bookings that people are coming to us. What I would say is, I've said, people come to you and me and say, you didn't ask me to come on. We don't go in generally. We'd say come to us and look for a slot and we'd slouch it. And once you're in that diary, that's the important thing. Let us know. But no, we're there for, as you say, all genres. Just come and let us know. Send us an email and we'll take it from there. And it's an opening for local acts. It's an opening. Come up here and try it out and see how you get on until you might like to carry on. You might not. And you know, I think about Murram Bradley, Jimmy, Murram was in the bus confest last year. You know what I mean? Yeah. And so, you know, I needed a very good video of her that he took on the main street because he couldn't take part because he wasn't well. I'm sick of just a sore throat. But I mean, that video, and I remember seeing where and it didn't click with us last Monday night till after the show. But it's just, it's just it's an amazing story. And look, it's lovely for Donny Gaul. I met so many people this week. I was down in Galway and stuff. And people were talking about the music up in Donny Gaul and the Northwest. You bumped from the Sharon show. Sharon came over and asked for a photograph of me as well, like, which is amazing, you know, I mean, that was nice for me to say I'm wondering. I was starstruck then when she said that. And you know, and she said, where's Paul? I said, he's just busy tonight. So why shouldn't he say he couldn't be born to go. But like, it's just, it's just so powerful. It's brilliant, brilliant. And look, Highland Radio support and Irish music has always been great across the the program and on the station. It's brilliant. You know, it's like a highland in our audience now. Absolutely. And it's great to see. So this Monday night is the Christmas special. Yeah, starting off at seven o'clock. We're not going to reveal too much. No, no, because it's just you mightn't turn off. You know, we told people back in January, hey, would you come on on a Christmas show? And they went, oh, lovely. Anybody out there who looks like to sponsor a few sweets or cakes for Monday night? Send them up. Send them up. Send them up. Yes. Or the stronger stuff, if you want. No, you need to you need a health warning on that when you're talking about that on TV and radio. You know, I don't drink responsibly, drink myself. Hi. But listen, if you do only drop on a couple of cakes, we're going to good home. Yeah, sure you absolutely. But come here. Muram Muram Bradley, our albums, it's doing very, very well. It's actually sold out. Sold out completely. Everyone's looking for the physical CD LP and cassette tip and vinyl vinyl. Yeah, so everybody's looking. So they're sold out, but they're reproducing brilliant that they're reproducing vinyl as well. I love that. I just love a cassette tip. Yeah, yeah. Now the two onion, Korean don't know cassette tip. They were back in the would you Korean, you know what door we're yeah, their square kind of all you do. Yeah, on you doesn't know. You know, you know, yeah, yeah. Cassettes are good. I'd love to see them come back again. Yeah, it will be. And if anybody has no cassette player out there, what I would do is mind it look after because it will come back. You know, and you live they'll be the new next. If you look at the vinyl 50 or for a what's the flip and CDs would come back as well, but 5000 them laying in the garage and now it's all digital. But anyway, listen rock on the whole thing. One at night, seven o'clock. It's gonna be some show. It's live here in studio. If you want to come up, you can stand outside and listen on the street. But if you want to bring a bottle. Yeah, absolutely. And a big shout out to Dicey Riley as well in Balich and great support of music. And yeah, that there he is. Look, I wonder a good home. Come here, Paul, play this song. And I know it's different for Saturday morning, but I think this is just this is this police dog blues catches the album. Just have a listen to this if you don't know what we're talking about. He looks a lot like Oscar before you go Oscar. Oscar, how's it going? What's up with Oscar doesn't know did you write a letter? Well, here they got the letter on me. So there's no problem. Yeah, just plenty of toys on our Oscar. That's good. Have you been a good boy? But you might get a weed lump of black coal with you know, Oscar. No, I look like a good boy. He does. Yeah. Yeah, he's all the looks looks. Yeah, you can see that you see mommy looking over and looking at her. Yeah. Have a happy Christmas, Oscar. Yeah. Well done, Oscar. Right, Jimmy, without further ado, this is Moran Bradley.
