The Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show is gearing up for next month’s countdown of the 100 greatest Irish songs, voted for by you. If you haven’t had your say yet, head to todayfm.com/Irish.

This time, Ian gets a Top 5 from Dermot Bannon, who’s always loved music and admits picking just five is nearly impossible.

From childhood memories with The Dubliners, to college days with Something Happens on repeat, Dermot’s list also features Bell X1, Sinéad O’Connor and a beautifully late-night No.1 from The Pogues.
