David Gray “I’m delighted to be given this opportunity to present my own show on Irish radio – especially to have free reign to choose and play tracks I want and like. I’d love to do more of this sort of thing!”
Westlife’s Nicky Byrne proved to be a huge success in the Celebrity Sunday slot over the last four weeks. Nicky’s show went on to become the 3rd most popular trend in the world on Twitter last Sunday.
