Sunday morning, here we go! I’m on yer wireless from 9am with braw tunes, irreverent (or irrelevant) chatter and the perplexing quiz, Name That Tune. The winner gets to be First Minister for a bit. It’s all free so why not join me on 95FM, DAB or on the line at https://player.broadcast.radio/?mode=tabbed&stationId=375.

Ps - limited access to email and ‘social’ media today so I’ll reply to any messages later…

Are you up? You’d better be. Get yer wireless tuned into Celtic Music Radio at 9am this morning for The Sunday Lie-In with my bad self. Then you’d better be oot yer pit before 10am because that’s when the toe-tappin’ ceilidh music starts and I don’t want you spilling your Ribena on the bed sheets. Your Granny cannae handle twa boil washes in one week - she’s already sick of going doon the steamie.

Anyway, it’s been exactly a year since The Ceilidh Kidd started so we might commemorate it somehow.

Tune in, if you like, to 95FM, DAB or online at https://player.broadcast.radio/?mode=tabbed&stationId=375

Good morning chums, today is my last day covering the Morning Mix on Celtic Music Radio before Lord Jenkins returns from the Hi-De-Hi holiday camp - I’ve brought in my board games, had a can of Tizer (must check the sell-by date on that actually) and my knapsack is packed full of splendid CDs, tapes and records - and remember, the editor’s decision is vinyl.

Why not join me at 9am for some marvellous tunes and mediocre chat?

Humour me.

95FM, DAB, online at https://player.broadcast.radio/?mode=tabbed&stationId=375 and on the loudspeakers in the Blue Car Park at Braehead Shopping Centre.

The show is packed tighter than the Glasgow to Blackpool Express on Fayre Monday - so join me at 10am on Celtic Music Radio and lets get oor h***h on.

Tune in to 95FM, DAB or online at https://player.broadcast.radio/?mode=tabbed&stationId=375.

Psst! Me again.

If you’re looking for some company for the next two weeks you’ll find me on The Morning Mix on Celtic Music Radio: 95FM, DAB or online at https://player.broadcast.radio/?mode=tabbed&stationId=375 while Lord Jenkins is away at his private island.

I’ve rummaged through his drawers (no sniggering at the back please) and found all the good tunes as well as his private stash of snacks. I’ll play the former and eat the latter.

It’s starts at nine - be there or be… late.

Heeeuch! Let’s get jiggin’ wi’ it at 10am - kilts, sporrans, Tam o’Shanters, plenty tartan music, the quiz Name That Toon, the Guid Gig Guide. You’d better no’ miss it or ye’ll be beelin’.

We’re on Celtic Music Radio at 95FM, DAB and online at https://player.broadcast.radio/?mode=tabbed&stationId=375.

Did you change your clocks? Well don’t lose that extra hour in your bed - get yourself a cuppa and get back under those covers and join Ian for The Sunday Lie-In on Celtic Music Radio - it starts at 9am (British “Summer” Time).

Then spring forward into the ceilidh at 10am where we’ll have tunes that swing more than the leaves on your neighbour’s Pampas grass in a hurricane. We’ll have the quiz Name That Toon, The Guid Gig Guide, plenty toe-tappers and I’ll even tell you all about the braw night out I had where I bumped into this fine pair of moothie maestros (pictured).

We’re on 95FM, DAB and online at https://player.broadcast.radio/?mode=tabbed&stationId=375. So, 9am for the lie-in, 10am for the ceilidh.

Don’t be late.

Here’s a reminder of today’s clue for Name That Toon:

Very flat looking string, unlikely to burn brightly in a candle

Which Scottish toon am I talking aboot?
