THE COLM & JIM-JIM BREAKFAST SHOW
The Colm & Jim-Jim Breafast Show, featuring Colm Hayes and Jim-Jim Nugent, is a lively mix of music and chat that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The mornings can be tough and dreary but Colm & Jim-Jim want to put a smile on your face with their slant on the news from serious to showbiz, from sport to soaps, it’s all here with the hottest music around. The duo, who brought you last year’s hit ‘Who’s Yer Sexy Joe’ song that parodied Joe Duffy, have won PPI Radio awards for their comedy sketches, prank calls and songs.
