And I thought I was Spearhead's biggest fan!

2008-05-25T11:11:00.001Z

You may not hear them on the radio very much, and that's wrong (working on that). They are the most uplifting and funky band who perform LIVE better than most. I would seriously advise you investigate Michael Franti & Spearhead. They are the band I put on if I'm having a bad one, the feeling has never been tangible before..... but this little kid displays how Franti & Spearhead's make me feel. Hey diddle diddle to the people in the middle!

Let the Pictures do the talking!

Bono rings in.... finally!

2008-03-11T11:11:00.002Z

This morning we were chatting about Bono during 'Dish De Durt'. So later I was answering calls for the competition and a woman says "Hello, is that The Colm & Jim-Jim Show?.... hold on I have someone here for you...."

Next thing I am talking to Bono, yes... the real Bono from U2... but I think it might be a messer. So I ask him a tough question about a song he sang with Prince and he's right! He DID murder 'The Cross' in The Pod in 1995!

Then I invited himself & Ali to the wedding (Shaz & me got engaged in New York last week, chuffed by the way!) and I think he said he'll pop in and sing for us......?

Anyway, I tell Colm & Damo that Bono is on line one and various swear words are exchanged... and we go live. (Listen to clip above)

Afterwards I chatted briefly to Bono off-air and he says he loves the show and listens with the kids on the school run. He followed us over from the other place. God Bless him.

Thanks Bono, see you at the wedding!
