Ocean FM Breakfast Show Blog

Well its the day after St Patricks Day. What a one we had yeterday. Weather wise it was the sunniestt one we’ve had in recent years and as a result crowds were way up across the region. As I was working yesterday from 7am until after 1pm I missed out on the early parade’s. However I was fortunate to make it to The Kesh and Drumshanbo Parades. Dessie Foley was back doing his thing,entertaining the crowds at in Keshcarrigan while RTE were flat to the mat trying to keep up with him. I don’t think I have seen as many Honda 50’s in one place at one time. When these motorbikes came out first they cost 72 pound today a cgood condition one can fetch up to 800 euro. The Meteors were also on last night in the 02. Westlife won another gong, The script picked up 2,  Sharon Shannon and Niall Stokes aloso picked up a gong each well done to all thoroughly deserved.
