More and more commercials and narrative on the station. Not the really as enjoyable as before

Kriszta

It feels good to listen to so much wonderful music :)
Greetings from Hungary

A long term devotee from London Town; listen to you as well as Radio 3 and LBC when I feel like some ‘politicking’. Especially fantastic in the evenings. Lots of love

Brian Corry

Lyric FM fails to start server on Play-Fi App Has not worked for months now although station is listed - error starting server

Colette Finnegan

Loving the sound of music
Finished work for the day now to relax in the sunshine. Dancing with the flowers my favourite.

I am a daily listener to RTE Lyric FM from Malta. The music is beautiful and my sincerest congratulations. One small negative: too much silly talk and conversation from Marty in the morning!

Joan O'Dwyer

I agree with Graham Campbell. Why not note the piece playing as BBC 3 does?

Nick Murphy

Such brilliant knowledgeable presenters.....i was fearful when Karl Corcoran hung up his headphones....but the new line up is (almost) just as good!

SuperDave

John Kelly's Mystery Train is a credit to Eire's creative genius. Long may it Live!

Bernadette Connolly

I've been texting in to your competitions to 51554 but they don't deliver. Is it because I have an apple phone? Very annoying indeed. Love your show Marty.
