It’s looking like a beautiful day…
Radioheads all across Ireland are still coming to terms with the passing of broadcasting legend Tony Fenton. Following a battle with prostate cancer, the DJ with the most dulcet of tones sadly died at the age of 53 yesterday.
Wonderful tributes have poured in from people far and wide and, this morning, Elbow frontman, Guy Garvey, added his own thoughts to the rest of the music-loving memories.

A fitting tribute from the lead singer of a band who were always a much-loved inclusion on the Tony Fenton playlist.
Additionally, there was a singular, simple tribute paid to “King Tony” outside Marconi House last night, home of Today FM.
RIP Tony.
