Wow, as someone who has travelled a fair bit around the world, including Ireland many times (most family live there), not many people have come close to anywhere near Gay’s talent.
Guests who will be joining Ryan tonight to pay tribute to Gay Byrne include President Michael D Higgins, Mary McAleese, Bob Geldof, Pat Kenny, Joe Duffy, Mike Murphy, Andrea Corr, Sharon Shannon, John Sheahan, Finbar Furey, Nell McCafferty, John McColgan, Tommy Tiernan, Pat Shortt, Jon Kenny, Rosaleen Linehan, Eamon Dunphy, Twink, Fr Brian D'arcy, Paddy Maloney, Donal Lunny, Nell McCafferty, Michael Carruth, Moya Doherty, RTÉ Director General Dee Forbes, Vincent Browne, Mary Black, Frank McNamara and Aonghus McAnally.
I’m glad it turned out to be a full length Late Late Show. 90 minutes would have been far too short. It was a lovely poignant ending also to a great tribute to a great man.
