The life, times and songs of Country Music star Margo and songwriter Johnny Duhan, currently feature on ‘Where the road takes me’, in a series entitled ‘The Singer & the Songwriter’.
On this week’s programme, John Greene concludes the story of Margo….
This week we hear about her battle with alcohol, as she strives to come to terms with a cancelled wedding, a horrific car crash and the weight of a promise made to her father before he died.
But the good times outweigh the bad as she sings with Johnny Cash and Glen Cambell, tours with Hank Locklin and in Dolly Parton discovers a friend when she needs one.
There’s also a few family facts to be set straight as well, including a supposed falling out with Daniel that never happened. [read more …] ““Where the Road Takes Me” at 7pm Sunday on C103″

We thank Presenter John Greene for advance information regarding his programme this Sunday, 28th June 2020 at 7pm on C103. (S.R.)
This Sunday evening on Where the road takes me, John Greene begins a four-part series entitled ‘The Singer & The Songwriter’.
Featured in parts three and four, songwriter Johnny Duhan reflects on a difficult upbringing, his time as frontman with beat-band ‘Granny’s Intentions’, the importance of his song ‘The Voyage’, and why he is often referred to as ‘the man in the shadows’.
The series begins this Sunday evening with Country singing star Margo O’Donnell, who never wished or meant to be a singer.
In the programme Margo speaks about…………
How the promise made to her father on his deathbed, weighed her down for years……..
How her future husband backed out of their wedding, two weeks before it was due to take place…
How the final straw was a horrific car crash which kept her off the stage for months, leading to loneliness, depression and leaning on alcohol for support.
And………there’s a few myths about her family to be cleared up as well. [read more …] ““Where the Road Takes Me” at 7pm Sunday on C103″

We thank Presenter, John Greene for advance information regarding this week’s programme at 7pm on C103 on Sunday, 21st June 2020. (S.R.)
This week on ‘Where the road take me’, John Greene concludes the three part programme ‘Inspiration from the past’.
The failure of the 1916 Rising, proved, that while the Irish were willing, they weren’t able or ready for the power of the enemy. Those who were rounded up in its aftermath were shipped off to Frongoch prison camp in a remote part of Wales, and left basically to their own devices. The camp now became known as a ‘University of Revolution’. As a result, when the ‘War of Independence’ came about, the Irish were still willing, but as a result of the secret training they received at Frongoch, they were now also ready and able.

We thank Presenter John Greene for advance information regarding his Sunday (14th June 2020) Radio Programme. (S.R.)
It’s a Where the Road Takes Me ‘Special’ this week, as John Greene brings you the story of a Lockdown with a difference.
In a working-class district of West London, a mother calls her son, who has Asperger’s Syndrome’, downstairs for dinner.
Both she and her husband are unaware that their youngest has amassed 73 million dollars while trading in the financial markets on his home computer in his bedroom.
Neither are they aware that their son will become the focus of a global manhunt for allegedly causing the most mysterious financial crash in history.
Multi agencies, including the FBI will seek his extradition to the US where he faces a total of 378 years jail term.
This is a ‘David and Goliath’ story at it’s very best. But why is a home lockdown involved and still is, as we speak. [read more …] ““Where the Road Takes Me” on C103 This Sunday at 7pm”
