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.”

Christy said he had many conversations with radio DJs about why they wouldn’t play songs from his solo album, The Man Who Stayed Alive, which he released last year.
He added: “They won’t play it. I was talking to a DJ in Rte and I was after releasing my solo album. I asked if they would play my single and I was told it wouldn’t be their demographic.”
