@RTESunMisc @SecondCaptains @rte Perfect timing! Fab story!

"It was the final day of the Six Nations in 2006. Ireland were playing England in Twickenham. The triple crown was on the line, and my brother Shane was now playing on the wing for his country..." Mark Horgan is up first this morning.... @SecondCaptains #sundaymiscellany @rte

@RTESunMisc @ConalCreedon @rte @RTERadio1 Wonderful, Cónal! So much in that poem. Bhíomar leat agus le do mháthair álainn i mBéara ar maidin.

"She seldom spoke of loneliness – but sometimes dared to dream. Up high. Up high. Where Golden Fish and Angels fly. And the setting sun reached back to say: Come West the road with me..." Next, @ConalCreedon with his poem for his mother, Come West With Me To Beara @rte @RTERadio1

A friendship forged in music, a century-old literary scandal, and a tiger-striped feline warrior... #sundaymiscellany Sun 9 March 9.10am @RTERadio1 Philip Judge Alexis MacIsaac @Margare01238242 @LNiChoistealbha Lourdes Mackey @gagebybell #BrianConnor @eleanormcevoy @rte Tune in!

"Sunday Miscellany in the Áras, they said. Think of something summery, and so I said I would. I sat at my desk, looking out. But all I could see was An bháisteach. The rain. An bháisteach..." First up from our Culture Night Miscellany hosted by @PresidentIRL is @ManchanMagan

@DanMulhall @RTESunMisc Just fabulous every Sunday morning and clearly well appreciated 💯

It’s great to see @RTESunMisc attracting so many listeners. I really enjoy contributing to it - and listening.

@RTESunMisc @rte Great mix of essay and music this Easter Sunday. The highlight for me was Aidan Mathews' fab story. Thank you and Happy Easter!

"The woman with the beautiful blue eyes, it emerged, had been twenty years younger when the jubilee of the Easter Rising was celebrated at every statue in every square of the 26 counties..." Aidan Mathews is next #1966 #MyFairLady #GetMeToTheChurchOnTime #StanleyHolloway @rte

Voices in harmony, university library ghosts, a lamp, a love charm, and the New Yorker's own, Irish, long winded lady. #sundaymiscellany 9.10am Sun 3 March @RTERadio1 @mikehanrahan46 @LourdesMackey John MacKenna @marykaterose James Harpur @Catherinefol Tune in! @rte @RTE_Culture
