January is always a slow month, but things seem to be moving exceptionally slow this year. Thankfully, the weekend is almost here and though we’ll be going nowhere or doing nothing, we can at least count on some Friday night entertainment courtesy of Tubs and Graham Norton.
First up The Late Late. Announcing a very diverse lineup for tomorrow’s show, Ryan will be joined by former director of the FBI James Comey who will discuss al things relating to the recent US inauguration – including what he envisions is in store for both Biden and Trump. Author Lisa Lawlor will also make an appearance to speak about her book Stardust Baby.
Music on the night will come from trad music stars Donal Lunny, Zoë Conway, Andy Irvine, Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, Louise Mulcahy, Jim Higgins, Martin O’Connor, Edel Fox and Frankie Gavin to name but a few.
