"Sometimes people living and working in the Big Smoke forget how reliant music fans in rural areas are on local radio to give them first hand contact with bands who are at the cutting edge of the current rock scene. In some areas that responsibility can often fall on the shoulders of a single individual. But WLRfm's Roddy Cleere has broad shoulders, plus an understanding of the historical development of rock music in this country that informs and enlivens his every broadcast, not just in his choice of music but in the depth of knowledge he brings to interviewing artists and songwriters, and helping them reach a broader public." -- 'Who's Who' in the Irish Music Industry, Hot Press yearbook

Listen to the show on WLRfm, Friday nights, 10pm to 12am GMT.
