About me:

The Eclectic Light Programme? Okay, I'll 'fess up that the title is a cute way of being able to play anything that takes our fancy (me and the listeners, like). ..

The Eclectic Light Programme is a place where you will find music that doesn't always touch the mainstream, but always touches the soul. It's a mix of music across all styles without fear or favour. (Now even I'm impressed with that...) We will have new and established bands and artists in to play live. We go the extra yard to bring the best of new Irish music but will play the classics too , and I have been known to trawl back to the 60's and 70's too....

That's the plan. 9-11 p.m, Saturday night on www.kclr96fm.com and click on the link!!!

Now on Sunday nights between 9 and 11, tune in to hear the best Of Irish Folk/Trad/Celtic & World music on Blas Glas!! Bígí linn!

Labels are for your clothes!!!! TTFN Martin Bridgeman

Who I'd like to meet:

Musicians far and wide, all styles, with one thing in common - a passion for listening, playing and/or enjoying music in all it's forms (God that looks really wa**y written down, but anyway.....)

    Firstly, apologies for this generic single spam.

    'Kimberly' can be downloaded straight to media enabled phones by texting 'music 3919 M' to 57501 - note the spaces!

    For all other phones they've made it more awkward. Text 'music 3919' to 57501 and then log onto www.downloadmusic.ie with your UNIQUE code to download it from the site. Hands up who loves technology.

    If you're in Kilkenny you can buy the hard copy from Hearbeat city and Rollercoaster, or if you're in Dublin you'll find it in Tower Records.

    All support in keeping us off the dole and stopping us stealing your taxes is greatly appreciated in the matter. See you in a town near you soon.

    All the best from The River Valley Band.
