Aslan singer Christy Dignam has hit out at RTE for constantly playing the same two songs from the band over the years.
The Dublin rocker said his fans around the world are “baffled” at the lack of Irish groups being played on our radio stations. The 62-year-old – who was diagnosed with rare blood disorder, amyloidosis, in 2013, fumed: “Like the only two songs that are ever played by RTE is ‘This Is’ and ‘Crazy World’.
“And Crazy World was 1993 so for us to sustain our success in this country with zero airplay for RTE, I think is astonishing, and the only thing outside of that is the Late Late Show – that is the only thing that supports Irish music in this country and that is more down to Ryan Tubridy than down to RTE.”
