Hi everyone

Now the holidays are over, it's time to get back to the regular Music Machine this Saturday at 7 PM UK time, 2 PM US Eastern.

I'd be happy to play songs you would like to hear, but I have the usual features too. What are they? I know its been quite some time since we had them due to our special shows, let me remind you.

Compilation albums . We look at two various artist albums each show. This time, we look at Chart Hits 83, and I Love Disco.

Vinyl Countdown, playing a song from my vinyl record collection. This time, we go back to August 1961!

Hi everyone

New Year's Day will soon be here, which means it's time for our annual Junior Choice show. Since 2012, each year we've remembered the days of this radio show which is still held with the warmest and deepest affection today.

If you're planning a New Year's Eve party, you want the music to be the best. As your guests dance, eat the food and chat, the music has to be played non-stop and expertly mixed together to keep the beat going. And, it would be great if you could have a high profile DJ to put it all together for you, counting down those final hours and minutes to midnight!

Hi to all

I’ll be live from South Wales to present the Music Machine today at 7 PM UK time, 2 PM US Eastern, featuring songs which launched radio stations in the UK.

The launch of a radio station here in britain was perhaps more important than it is now, but many people remember the first song to be played on their local station. Some reflect the geography of the area, others have a celebratory feel. but they're all good songs to hear, and that's what we're focusing on in this edition of the music machine, good vibrations, radio station launch songs.

Hi everyone. The few days between Christmas and the New Year, gives us a chance to look back at the year that was, and remember the good things it brought. Tomorrow in the usual Welcome to the Weekend slot, 7PM in Ireland and the UK, or 2PM Eastern, Brian D will be here to review the feel-good music that came our way during 2017.

There was a time when we didn't have music on demand. We couldn't have what we wanted, when we wanted it. There were no streaming media services or downloads. If you wanted to listen to your favourite song, and you didn't have the record, the most reliable way of hearing it was during the Top 20 or Top 40 on a Sunday evening.

Merry Christmas everyone. In the words of a song, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”. Christmas time is here, which means it’s time for the annual Welcome to the Weekend Christmas Party. Where ever you are in the world, I will open the doors on Friday, at 7PM in Ireland and the UK, that’s 2PM Eastern, and everyone is invited.

Live from a festive Dublin Town on the East Coast of Ireland, where the Craic will be 90, we’ll have 2 hours of Christmas tunes and plenty of friendly banter, to set you up for the holiday season.

Hi everyone. Christmas is well and truly in the air now. I’d love it if you could join me, Brian D, as I take you on a festive journey on the Inside Track. It happens today at 9PM in Ireland and the UK, that’s 4PM Eastern, on Team FM.

Who was the first Disney princess? Which character was the first Disney princess to attend a ball? Which was the first disney princess to be non-human? And who was the first Disney princess to change hair colour?
