Annette is listening in the garden this week and a bricklayer working behind her house is whistling to the music on the show.
Where was the Watery Brae?
Brendan Bowyer died today. He often said that his great influence was the Johnny Quigley showband from Derry.
Sean had three requests ready for the show and put them in a safe place. They're still in the safe place but he can't remember where the safe place is.
Music from The Royal Showband, Trini Lopez, Dominic Kirwan, Tony Bennett and more.
