Hi everybody. When a good feeling takes control of your body, there’s no way to stop it. Especially when it’s the Friday Feeling. I’d love to share it with you, today at 7PM in Ireland and the UK, or 2PM Eastern, when I’ll Welcome you to the Weekend, on the station where great music matters. Speaking of music, I’ll have 2 hours of feel good tunes and plenty of friendly banter, the perfect medicine to set you up for the Weekend ahead.

Hi everyone

After last week's ABBA special, it's time to get back to the regular format on this week's Music Machine, Saturday at 7 PM UK time which is 2 PM US Eastern.

As always I've got a lot for you if you would care to tune in.

Compilation Albums of the Past. Do you remember two weeks ago we heard tracks from the excellent box set of LP's released in 1982, Chart Action Volume 2? That went down very well, and guess what, I've found Volumes 1 and 3! So we'll work through Volume 1 this week and Volume 3 next week. They are equally good.

Hi everyone. After a long and busy week, I woke up this morning and thought, It’s All right, the Weekend is here. That means only one thing. At 7PM in Ireland and the UK, or 2PM eastern today, it will be time for me, Brian D to Welcome you to the Weekend. On the station where great music matters, I’ll have 2 hours of feel good tunes, along with warm and friendly banter to get your Weekend started.

Hi everyone

For many years, the Music Machine has celebrated the work of a group highly popular in the 70's and 80's, ABBA. They became one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of popular music, topping the charts worldwide from 1974 to 1982. ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest 1974 at The Dome in Brighton, UK, giving Sweden its first triumph in the contest. They are the most successful group to have taken part in the competition. ABBA are estimated to have sold 140 to over 500 million records, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time.

Hi everybody. When you work hard all week long, living for the weekend, and Friday eventually comes around, it’s time for a celebration. Today, at 7PM in Ireland and the UK, 2PM Eastern, I’ll close the working week, and celebrate the 2 days of freedom that lie ahead. On Team Fm, the station where great Music Matters, I’ll have 2 hours of feel good tunes and friendly banter to Kick-Start your Weekend.
All our regular features will be on offer too, such as:

Hi everyone

Now the holidays are over, it's time to get back to the regular Music Machine this Saturday at 7 PM UK time, 2 PM US Eastern.

I'd be happy to play songs you would like to hear, but I have the usual features too. What are they? I know its been quite some time since we had them due to our special shows, let me remind you.

Compilation albums . We look at two various artist albums each show. This time, we look at Chart Hits 83, and I Love Disco.

Vinyl Countdown, playing a song from my vinyl record collection. This time, we go back to August 1961!

Hi everyone

New Year's Day will soon be here, which means it's time for our annual Junior Choice show. Since 2012, each year we've remembered the days of this radio show which is still held with the warmest and deepest affection today.

If you're planning a New Year's Eve party, you want the music to be the best. As your guests dance, eat the food and chat, the music has to be played non-stop and expertly mixed together to keep the beat going. And, it would be great if you could have a high profile DJ to put it all together for you, counting down those final hours and minutes to midnight!
