About The Show

Every Sunday evening here on Today FM we feature one hour of great music from a particular artist on our Essential Series.

Essential Gold DiscFrom long established legends like Fleetwood Mac, Thin Lizzy, Paul Simon, Stevie Wonder, and Dusty Springfield, to relatively more recent successes like Oasis, Radiohead, and Blur, the show covers varying genres of music - often within one show - with a wide selection of iconic artists being featured. 

Your regular presenter is the right honourable Tony Fenton, but many shows feature guest presenters such as Phil Cawley, Jim O'Neill,  Tom Hardy, Adelle McDonneell, and even Matt Cooper!  Each Sunday, your host will take you through an hour's worth of music from the selected act while providing interesting and entertaining facts along the way.

So whatever your music taste, be sure to tune into The Essential every Sunday from 7-8pm on 100-102 Today FM, and you never know, you may end up becoming a fan of a band you never really knew before.
