LMFM Late Lunch Listen Back

St Peter's Male Voice Choir entertained us with their unique range of music and songs, Isabelle Duff reminded us of the lot of the returning emigrant, Lizzie Doran is doing Christmas the Australian way and Ms Eabha read and reviewed some children's Christmas reading!

Fr Paddy Rushe offered his thoughts on Christmas from a spiritual perspective. Callum Bradley's Christmas Cracker saw the eight year old from Drogheda win a PS5 and games! David Sheehan looked back at the sporting year and we caught a word with the Best Christmas Pudding maker in the Northeast Eileen O'Rourke.

That most famous Guinness Christmas TV advertisement saw Gerry have a great chat with long-time barman Jimmy Tobin from the legendary O'Connell's Public House in Skryne. Ciara Burke, Carmel McCarthy and Colette Nugent tasted the final seven Christmas puddings and selected Eileen O'Rourke from Tara as the maker of the Best Christmas Pudding in the Northeast 2024. And John Gartlan has a very special Christmas annual - a 1979 copy of the "Wanderly Wagon".

Tara Walker took us through preparing and cooking the traditional Christmas dinner - including gravy for Loiuse! Rick Cronje sorted out the seasonal quaffing, Marley Peig sang so beautifully - what a talent she is and hopefully Michelle Lynch will have her sentimental Christmas tree decoration returned soon?

How did Ivan Curran's potatoes grow? Irene Gahan's books of the year, Dr Kate McCann on setting boundaries around the holiday season and a Christmas tree in Kells rises from the ashes!

A very special Late Lunch as we joined the annual Service of Hope at the Oncology Unit at Our Lady Of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda.
