As Producer/Director, Ian brought the annual RTE televised broadcast of the Castlebar International Song Contest to the very top of the TAM ratings… vying one year for top place with The Late Late Show.
Ian ‘grew’ from the Castlebar event to directing Eurovision and, for at least a decade, was RTE’s No. 1 producer for live entertainment programmes.
Our memories of him here in Castlebar are very warm especially his calm but brilliant direction of the song contest and his amazing drum solos at the post contest parties.
