Every Sunday evening on Choice FM, Eamon Carr presents 'Carr's Cocktail Shack'. |
| |
Every Sunday evening on 92.1 Choice FM, Eamon Carr presents 'Carr's Cocktail Shack'.
The show is a celebration of lounge and cocktail jazz from across the decades and features the 'Cocktail de Jour' - Eamon's own choice of cocktail, which he then makes live on air each week!
Presenter Eamon Carr says, "My wish is to present some music that is largely ignored by contemporary music criticism. I would like to share some tunes that may (or may not) evoke alligator shoes, lava lamps, fishnet stockings, faux rabbit-pelt bar stools and the psycho-sexual boom boom experienced by the desk clerk in the motel, the one with the pink and blue neon, at the end of Lonely Street. It may be termed easy, but the beat goes on. Oh, and along the way, we'll explore the coolest way to kick-start a party - cocktails."
Eh... right..!
Join Eamon every Sunday evening at 6pm on 92.1 Choice FM. Alternatively, if you are listening from outside the greater Dublin area, the programme can be heard live online by clicking on the 'Listen Live' link on the left hand side of this page. The programme is also archvied at www.choicefm.ie each week and can be listened to as a web stream or can be downloaded

Join Des FitzGerald every Sunday evening at 7pm on Choice FM for 'Sunday Jazz'. |
| |
On me your voice falls as they say love should,
Like an enormous yes. My Crescent City
Is where your speech alone is understood…
from ‘For Sidney Bechet’ by Phillip Larkin
‘Sunday Jazz’ does exactly as it says on the tin. Gathering the faithful - and hoping to convert a few along the way - ‘Sunday Jazz’ reflects presenter Des FitzGerald’s enthusiasm for one of the greatest musical forms to emerge in the 20th Century. From its American origins in New Orleans to the years of swing and bebop on the East and West coasts, to the vibrancy of today’s European jazz scene: ‘Sunday Jazz’ will take you from Ato Z and back again.
Des has been a jazz fan for many years, ever since he picked up a cassette by Ella Fitzgerald in a record shop bargain bin. Stints working in record stores helped him improve his knowledge, working with real jazz-heads and sharing their passion. From this he went on to become a specialist music buyer for a major Dublin retailer and helped improve their catalogue considerably – although he would say that, wouldn’t he?
Des’ quest for great jazz has even seen him pack his tent and head for France and the Django Reinhardt Jazz Festival in Samois. This genius of gypsy jazz guitar has made him think many times about taking up the instrument…and that’s about as far as it goes!
Since 2003 Des has also presented and produced the weekly arts programme‘Artbeat’ on 103.2 Dublin City Anna Livia FM. When not behind a microphone, Des can be found at his day gig, working with a team of extremely talented artists in Ireland’s leading animation studio.
