Hearty Congratulations to a fellow Grover Marty Whelan and also one of our own on here.  See Page 3 & also Pg 27 tonights Evening Herald.

Pg. 3. Quote in part:  Veteran star Marty Whelanwill host Winning Streak alongside Catherine Thomas the Herald can reveal and it continues..... Article by Mfinn

Pg. 27 Quote in part: Montrose suits see error of their ways with Marty.  You cannot keep a good man down.  One of our favourite broadcasters, Marty Whelan is back spinning the discs, 2 years after he fell victim to Montrose mandarins who axed his 2FM am show at that time. and it continues.  Article by Gerry O Carroll

I am sure am joined by all here in wishing him the very best of luck in the future.  Apart from being a wonderful, kind, loyal and a true gent - he has supported The Grove from day one.  Anyone else wishing him well please add on your messages. You cannot beat GOOD NEWS. Welcome back to the telly and the airwaves.

Love, Verona

That really is good news. I wonder did our little petition a year or so back help?

Good to see him on the air.

Marty I am really delighted

to see that RTE has come to

the realization that your star

cannot be dimmed and now is

your time to shine.

You're one of our own

and you have been very supportive

of Cecil and this site over the

years.Looking forward to hearing

good quality music between

Noon and 2 on Lyric FM.

NEW Marty Whelan at Midday
Weekday lunchtimes have just got
better. Marty Whelan presents a new
daily lunchtime programme designed to
lift the spirits and brighten your afternoon.
The popular broadcaster says,
“I’m absolutely delighted to be joining the already
very strong RTÉ lyric fm daytime schedule
and I’m very excited about this new show
and the wonderful musical possibilities it presents.”
Featuring all the great interpreters
of 20th-century popular song
alongside classical crossover, listeners
will also get their daily fix of the fiendishly
difficult all-new Common Denominator
Quiz , with celebrity guest interviews
and the featured ‘Album of the
Week’, too.

Fantastic news to hear Marty is back.
Echo everything Frank said.
Too many gobsh*tes on the tv and radio.
About time they brought back the decent ones people listen to.
Well done Marty.
