Superb feature by Alan Finn and Rosario Buckley in the “Vale Star”. Jimmy Reidy is such a true Gentleman and has contributed enormously to the real Culture of Ireland. We’ve all been blessed to have for decades listened to the magnificent C103 weekly Show “Round the Fireside” marvellously presented by Jimmy and his very welcoming Team including his wonderful wife Peggy at Freemount Heritage Centre. We’ve been privileged on a number of occasions to have been present for truly memorable recordings. In fact this coming Monday night at 10.00 pm (12th Oct. 2020) I believe that Millstreet features in one of Jimmy’s excellent archival programmes. Jimmy’s archive of hundreds of programmes over the decades is such a national treasure for generations to come. Congratulations to Jimmy on continuing to present quality radio every Monday night where the voice and music of various communities find a magnificent platform. Long may such great radio continue. In the not-too-distant future we hope to record a telephone interview with Jimmy for “Radio Treasures” on CMS. Tap on the images to enlarge. (S.R.)
