I am glad so many people, particularly here in Ireland, where Tommy does my style of interview on TV, listened to part one of this twenty-year-old interview. It may be the only in-depth interview the usually guarded Tommy Tiernan ever gave. Copyright: JJ!

Sedaka's claim in that headline will be disputed on all counts! But every since I was a kid I've admired the man and his music, from the early days of Oh Carol to 70s LPs such as The tra-La Days Are Over. It may not be hip to like Sedaka, but to hell with hip! We should all define hip for ourselves.

This is a radio interview I did when Dino died. I always thought he was far. more cool than Sinatra. And he didn't lick up to the Mob!

It's coming up to what would have been Elvis's 89th birthday, and I still believe Bas Luhrman got him wrong and did the story of his spiritual quest a disservice. Here's an edited version of a radio show I made five years ago

I became a music interviewer to meet and talk with my music heroes. I have always loved the work the Jordanaires did with Elvis ever since I heard the gospel album His Hand In Mine. I'll do a podcast about that. But here, Gordon Stoker tells a little-known story about Blue Christmas and Millie Kirkham, who sang the "high part" and hated it!
Happy Christmas to my podcast listeners.
