Florida Those in the area who are descendants of the Emerald Isle and love Irish music have something to look forward to: “A Drop of the Irish” radio show on WTBQ is moving to afternoons beginning sometime in September. Paul Byrne has been hosting the show for a couple of months, but the time slot isn’t giving him much exposure. “We’re on at 6 a.m.,” he said, “not a great time to listen to music.” But that is about to change. Byrne said the show will switch to afternoons before the month is over. And he is looking forward to that. “There are a lot of people of Irish descent around here,” said Byrne. “We have some great guests and we incorporate news from Ireland and Irish America.” A few weeks ago Tommy Tiernan was on the show. Tiernan is a well-known comedian in Ireland. Coming up are the Dublin City Ramblers and the Wolfetones, also very popular bands in Ireland, as well as Andy Cooper. Local Irish groups come on as well. The Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Three Pipers from Monroe come in and do bagpipe lessons. There are giveaways and call-ins are taken. Byrne calls himself an aspiring musician, playing guitar and the bodhran, an Irish drum. He’s been into music for many years but won’t call himself a musician just yet. This is his first foray into radio. “I love it,” he said. “I’ve been into music forever. It’s a dream for me to do something like this.” Byrne himself came from Dublin about four years ago. “I came for a change of scenery,” he said. What he got was much more than that. Eight days after coming here, he met a special woman who is now his wife. Together, they have a two-year-old son, Evan Michael, and live on the Sullivan-Orange County border. Keep listening, Byrne said, for the announcement of when the show is moving. He promises it will lots of fun. And, he said, if you are not near a radio, you can listen to all WTBQ programs live online at WTBQ.com.
