Just catching up up with the St Paddy’s Day edition of the @ralphmclean.bsky.social show on #bbcsounds.

If there is a better selection of two hours of music on the wireless set this year I’ll eat my shoes!

And I have size 16 feet!

Absolutely stonking show. 👏👏👏

What a great programme - I didn't know much about Chip Taylor, but now I do :) With a nod to CT's golfing background, @ralphmclean.bsky.social tees off of course with Wild Thing @tomstewart1984.bsky.social

Deeply saddened to hear that the great Chip Taylor has passed. A songwriter cut from the finest cloth but more importantly a decent human being and good friend of Ireland. Full tribute on the country show to come. God bless ya Chip! #ChipTaylor
