Oisín Leech to present one-off special on RTÉ Radio this Christmas Eve - Caravan Radio
The show will be an hour of music curated by Oisín Leech and will "trace his passion for songs across all genres."
Member of The Lost Brothers (pictured above), Oisín Leech, will present a one-off special on RTÉ Radio 1 at 10 pm on Christmas Eve.
Entitled Caravan Radio, the show will be an hour of music curated by Leech from his own personal favourites and influences.
"For the last 20 years Leech has toured around the globe at festivals such as Glastonbury and SXSW, and has collaborated with artists such as Donal Lunny, Paul Muldoon and M Ward to name but a few," a press release about the upcoming show reads.
"Now he looks through his record collection to curate 60 minutes of tunes. Join him for Caravan Radio where he goes on a musical trail through his love of songwriting and traces his passion for songs across all genres. All aboard the Caravan Radio for the musical road less travelled."
It was recently announced that The Lost Brothers will play at a showcase on February 4 at The Irish Cultural Centre, celebrating the life of the late music manager Frank Murray.
The evening show will also feature the talents of Christine Tobin and will run from 8 pm.
In an interview with Hot Press' Pat Carty earlier this year, Oisín Leech and bandmate Mark McCausland touched on the debt they owe to their former manager.
"Before Frank started managing us," says Oisin, "we were this two piece playing constantly on the outskirts. Frank sat us down and taught us by telling these stories about tour managing The Specials or The Pogues."
"It's weird," Mark Smiles, "Frank's name still pops up every day, it's like he's still around."
Caravan Radio broadcasts at 10 pm on RTÉ Radio 1 this Christmas Eve.
