A listener would like to know the origins of The Hucklebuck.
Seamus Duffy in Derry rings "Paul Williams recorded The Hucklebuck back in 1948."
"Chubby Checker sang The Hucklebuck" says Jim McCauley in Dromore.
Sean's answer was Frank Sinatra.

Kilnappy Cowboy contacts the programme "Sean you played The Hucklebuck, it seems that it will never die out. Any chance of playing Don Gibson & Oh Lonesome Me? Or would there be the danger of you squeezing in Don Williams singing Gypsy Woman Song? Hope you and the team have a good weekend, and go easy on the sauce"

Sean doesn't like sauce.

Tony in Derry rings to say "the group ‘Little Big Town’ supported the Eagles in June last year in Aviva in Dublin."

Sean would like to know if they were any good?

Rose in Wexford calls with a story "Many years ago we owned a restaurant in Wexford town. We employed a kitchen porter and his name was Elvis Aaron Presley. He had changed his name by deed poll and we never knew his real name. He arrived every day with a suitcase full of CD's, which he played in the kitchen."

Music by Family of the Year, Little Big Town, Pat Lynch and the Airchords, UB40, Big Tom and more.
