A voice (non-singing) from the past and the RTE Guide

Hi Ian, I’d just like to add my good wishes to you along with everybody else. Our connection is that I worked in the RTE Guide from 1978 to 1983. In that time, our paths crossed when I would speak with you about some of your programmes that I would write about in the RTE Guide. We also spoke at times when I would visit the Light Entertainment department to speak with colleagues, among them the late Noel D Greene, Gay Byrne and John McColgan. I did a bit of script-writing too for The Live Mike, Twink and The Billy Boyle Show. One of my abiding memories of you is the fantastic job you did in 1981 on the Eurovision Song Contest. Anyway, I don’t have picture of you and I together so I’m attaching one of me taken in 1979. Best wishes – Brendan Martin
