There was a real need for a programme where Irish ex-pats could not only keep up to date with news from home but find out about how they could socialise with others from Ireland here in the UK and also get current information about Irish entertainment, services and public information. Nothing has changed, which is why Gerry was pleased to hear from Dave Murphy and Acourtier about their plans for a great night of boxing on 5th July. Irish Spectrum's weekend shows are light entertainment programmes with music at their heart. Sport is also a popular element of the show and Gerry Byrne is delighted to welcome Stephen Ormond onto the show, also anticipating that he will speak with other boxers who will be on the York Hall card talking to him next week. Irish Spectrum listeners will be right behind the Irish fighters. Irish Spectrum are pleased that promoters Dave Murphy in association with Acourtier events are bringing its audience full details of the bumper card, which also features ladies' boxing. A feature of the weekend shows eagerly awaited is the quiz and listeners will be excited that they will have a chance to win tickets for the Independence Day bouts on 5th July. Show times for Irish Spectrum Radio are: Saturdays: 12 - 2pm and Sundays 12 - 1am Irish Radio can be accessed online 24/7 at www.irishradio.org In addition to Gerry Byrne's weekend shows on Irish Spectrum, he presents specials for BBC Radio 3 Counties on his Irish Link programme. He is also well known on the Irish circuit visiting leading Irish venues as MC/compere with his Irish Radio Roadshow. Gerry is frequently the subject of editorials in Irish publications. Irish Spectrum Radio reached a landmark in 2012 clocking up 20 years on air with Gerry behind the microphone throughout. Gerry was touched to receive acknowledgements from the Irish Ambassador to the UK, many Irish organisations in Great Britain, artists such as Nathan Carter and Daniel O'Donnell and, most importantly, listeners recognising his contribution to Irish heritage, culture and entertainment. Gerry is always pleased to hear about events that will appeal to his audience and collaborating with Dave Murphy and Acourtier Events means he can give a platform to The Irish Invasion boxing night as part of the Independence Day theme, with further dynamic bouts scheduled in the capital later in the year, which will also be highlighted on Irish Spectrum. Gerry was pleased to realise a vision in 2012 when he launched a companion music station, which broadcasts online 24/7. This increased airtime has widened the scope of information he can bring to his strong audience base - tune in to www.irishradio.org to hear your favourite Irish country music and for updates on the Dave Murphy and Acourtier Events ?Independence Day/Irish Invasion? boxing extravaganza.
