Just before Christmas I was contacted, out of the blue, by Nessy Mon (Vanessa Monaghan) who hosts a radio show for the Irish National Broadcaster RTE.
Nessy’s show is on RTE2XM and is called, ‘The London Ear’.
It’s core audience is the large London Irish community.
Nessy told me that she was a long time fan of The Immortal Jukebox and generously invited me onto her show to talk about my background and the history of The Immortal Jukebox.
I was delighted to accept her invitation and was very pleased that I was given so much time on the show.
In addition to our discussion the show also features Jukebox favourites Van Morrison singing, ‘Brand New Day’ and Roy Orbison crooning, ‘Pretty Paper’
I thought my core audience would like to listen in!
The link below should take you to the show – my section starts from 24 minutes and runs for about 25 minutes.

Should the link not work for you try this alternative method :
Download the free RTE Player App from your App Store
From the Home Page select change Station
Then select RTE2XM
Then select listen back and scroll to 16 December
Then scroll down and select The London Ear at 13.00
Then scroll to 24 Minutes in and Voila! My dulcet tones should soon appear.
Thanks again to Nessy for hosting The Jukebox.
Please feel free to comment and share!

Fascinating to hear the voice behind the blog. I had no idea the Immortal Jukebox had so many followers. Congratulations, Thom, and all the best for 2018.
