Celtic Music Radio’s Alex Jenkins and Gordon Hotchkiss made the trip across the Irish Sea to Belfast enroute to Downpatrick, County Down to join the St Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Our intrepid explorers have posted these photos.

Apparently the trip went well with plenty of stops to let Gordon keep his caffeine levels up!

The broadcast between 12 noon and 6pm on St Patrick’s Day  LIVE from Denvir’s Hotel, Downpatrick was a huge success.

Gordon has also found a new addition to our studio equipment at Paddy’s Sleepy Orchard Guesthouse, Saul, Downpatrick – bringing our studio bang up to date….in 1900!

We’re now sounding considerably better on 1530AM following work on our main transmitter.

For the last few months now we have been running on reduced power using a reserve transmitter on 1530AM/MW in the Glasgow area.

You should find 1530 kHz AM reception has improved greatly and further improvements are planned in the coming weeks.

We would really like to hear back from you on how we’re sounding again on 1530 AM/MW.
