Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 16ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1978 tháinig sé amach gur chaith daoine sa tír níos mó ná 520 milliún punt ar alcól agus tobac I rith 1976 agus d'ardaigh sé nach mór 87 milliún punt ón bhliain roimhe. I 2000 ní raibh an rialtas ag sheachaint beart níos mó chun na tithe a dhéanamh níos inacmhainne mura n-oibríonn an phacáiste nua. I 1989 bhí daoine ag súil leis an vótáil chun a bheith cóngarach chuig 75%. I 2000 labhair na h-altraí san ospidéal in Inis amach I gcoinne na plean chun aon síciatrach ardslándála a thógáil I Spanish Point. Sin John Travolta agus Olivia Newton John le You're The One That I Want – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1978 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1972 tháinig David Bowie amach lena 5ú halbam The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars – an coincheap den albam ná chun scéal a rá d'eachtrán darbh ainm Ziggy Stardust. Chuaigh an t-albam chuig uimhir a 5 sa Bhreatain agus uimhir 75 I Meiriceá agus tháinig sé amach go raibh sé an t-albam ab fhearr riamh. I 2002 46 bhliain tar éis a chéad amhrán, chuaigh Elvis Presley chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena amhrán Little Less Conversation. Tar éis é sin bhí 18 uimhir a haon aige. Agus chomh maith bhí sé an t-amhránaí a raibh sna cairteacha den chuid is mó I rith 44 bhliain. A chéad uimhir a haon a bhí aige ná All Shook Up I 1957. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Jurgen Klopp sa Ghearmáin I 1967 agus rugadh amhránaí John Newman sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1990 agus seo chud de amhrán.

That was John Travolta and Olivia Newton John with You're The One That I Want – the biggest song on this day in 1978 Onto music news on this day In 1972 David Bowie released his fifth studio album The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars a concept album telling the story of a fictional bisexual alien rock star named Ziggy Stardust. The album which reached No.5 in the UK and No. 75 in the US has been consistently considered one of the greatest albums of all time. 2002 46 years after his first hit, Elvis Presley started a four week run at No.1 on the UK singles chart with 'A Little Less Conversation', (Elvis vs. JXL), giving Elvis a total of 18 UK No.1 singles, the most by any artist in chart history. This also set a new record for the longest span of No.1 hits with 44 years, 11 months and 9 days. His first UK No.1 single was 'All Shook Up' in 1957. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – soccer coach Jurgen Klopp was born in Germany in 1967 and singer John Newman was born in the UK on this day in 1990 and this is one of his songs.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 2ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1978 sheol an Aire Sláinte Charles Haughey scéim ar leith chun cabhrú le daoine óga sna cathracha a raibh riosca orthu damáiste a dhéanamh dá shaol. I 2000 bhí na hairí ón thuaidh faoi ionsaí ó na n-antoisceach ó dhá thaobh. I 1998 maraíodh 15 eallach ar fheirm I Toomevara de bharr go raibh toirneach agus tintreach ann. Bhí na heallaí ar foscadh faoi chrann seiceamar nuair a bhí sé ag cur báistí go trom agus thit an crann orthu. I 2006 bhí rangú san Aonach Urmhumhan sa tábla IBAL go hiontach mar chuaigh siad ó 'go leor bruscar' go 'níl aon bhruscar ann'. Chuaigh siad ó 51ú háit chuig 13ú háit. Sin Sonique le It Feels So Good – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2000 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1973 chuaigh Paul McCartney chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena albam Red Rose Speedway agus fuair sé uimhir a haon lena hamhrán My Love agus d'fhan sé ann ar feadh ceithre seachtaine. I 1984 fuair Wham! A chéad uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena amhrán Wake Me Up Before You Go Go. Scríobh George Michael an t-amhrán agus bhí sé páirteach den bhanna cheoil. An inspioráid don amhrán ná nuair a scríobh Andrew Ridgeley nóta dá thuismitheoirí ag rá 'wake me up before you go' agus scríobh sé 'up' dhá uair agus mar sin scríobh sé an teideal 'wake me up before you go go'. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Wentworth Miller sa Bhreatain I 1972 agus rugadh aisteoir Ethan Slater I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1992 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 2nd of June, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: health minister Charles Haughey had launched a unique scheme to help young people in cities who may have been at risk of becoming delinquents. 2000: the norths power sharing ministers were under attack last night from extremists on both sides. 1998 - FIFTEEN cattle on a farm in Toomevara were killed in a severe thunder and lightning storm which struck North Tipperary. The cattle were sheltering in a hill field under a sycamore tree from a heavy downpour of rain when the "act of God" occurred. 2006 -Nenagh's ranking in the national IBAL league made a dramatic improvement, rising from the categorization of ‘Litter Blackspot' to ‘Litter Free Status'. rising from 51st place out of 57 towns to 13th in the latest survey. That was Sonique with It Feels So Good – the biggest song on this day in 2000 Onto music news on this day In 1973 Paul McCartney had both the No.1 positions on the US charts when 'Red Rose Speedway', went to the top of the album chart and 'My Love', started a four week run as the No.1 single. 1984 Wham! had their first UK No.1 with 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go.' Written and produced by George Michael, one half of the duo. Inspiration for the song was a scribbled note left by his Wham! partner Andrew Ridgeley for Andrew's parents, originally intended to read "wake me up before you go" but with "up" accidentally written twice, so Ridgeley wrote "go" twice on purpose. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Wentworth Miller was born in the UK in 1972 and actor Ethan Slater was born in America on this day in 1992 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

UB40, a reggae band from Birmingham, UK, emerged in the late 70s from humble beginnings, with members scraping by on unemployment benefits. The band's original lineup consisted of friends from Moseley School of Art and local schools: Robin and Ali Campbell, Earl Falconer, Brian Travers, Jimmy Brown, Norman Hassan, and later, Michael Virtue and Astro. They named themselves after the unemployment benefit form "UB40" and quickly became known for their left-wing political stance, aligning themselves with causes like Rock Against Racism and anti-National Front protests. In 1980, UB40's debut single "King b/w Food For Thought" reached the UK Top 5, setting the stage for their success. Their first album, Signing Off (1980), was a blend of reggae, dub, and politically charged lyrics, reaching No. 2 in the UK and staying in the charts for 72 weeks. By 1981, their second album, Present Arms, solidified their reputation, with the hit single "One In Ten" becoming an anthem for the unemployed and a protest against the UK government's policies. UB40's third album, UB44 (1982), marked a transition, but it was Labour of Love (1983) that truly catapulted them to international fame. This album of reggae covers, including the iconic "Red Red Wine," became their first UK No. 1 album and produced their first US No. 1 single. This success established UB40 as reggae ambassadors, introducing reggae to new audiences worldwide. Throughout the 1980s, UB40 continued to release successful albums, including Geffery Morgan (1984), Rat In The Kitchen (1986), and UB40 (1988). Their collaborations with Chrissie Hynde on "I Got You Babe" and "Breakfast In Bed" were also hits. The late 80s and early 90s saw the band achieve global success with Labour Of Love II and Promises and Lies, the latter featuring "Can't Help Falling In Love," which became another US No. 1 hit. In the mid-90s, the band took a break, with members pursuing solo projects. However, they returned with Guns In The Ghetto and Labour Of Love III , continuing to tour extensively. Their influence and success were underscored by their contribution to the England rugby team's 2003 World Cup campaign with "Swing Low" and the Grammy-nominated Who You Fighting For (2005), which featured politically charged songs and love ballads. In 2008, Ali Campbell left the band to pursue a solo career, replaced by his brother Duncan Campbell. The band continued to release albums and tour, with TwentyFourSeven receiving critical acclaim. Despite Astro's departure in 2013, UB40 continued to tour successfully, playing sold-out shows across the UK, Europe, and beyond. UB40's enduring appeal lies in their ability to blend reggae with socially conscious lyrics, making them one of the most influential reggae bands in history. Their journey from Birmingham's working-class roots to global stardom is a testament to their talent, resilience, and commitment to their music and message. To celebrate their 45th anniversary, the band has just released the album UB45. Joining us this week to share the story of their rise to international fame is original member, drummer Jimmy Brown.

Peter James is a distinguished UK No. 1 bestselling author, renowned for his gripping crime and thriller novels. He is most celebrated as the creator of the beloved fictional character Detective Superintendent Roy Grace. With an impressive track record of 19 Sunday Times No. 1 bestsellers, Peter has garnered a global readership, amassing over 21 million copies in book sales to date, and his works have been translated into 38 languages.Stop Them Dead, the latest riveting addition to the Roy Grace series is slated for release this September. This compelling tale unravels when a young farmer confronts intruders in the dead of night, unwittingly setting off a chain of events that culminate in his tragic demise. What makes this crime even more sinister is the shocking motive that drove the perpetrators to kill. As Detective Superintendent Roy Grace delves into the investigation, he quickly realizes that this is not an isolated incident, but rather the crest of a nationwide crime wave. Organized gangs, driven by insatiable greed, are raking in illicit profits from the illegal trade in dogs, surpassing even the gains from narcotics. In a race against time, Grace finds himself locked in a deadly battle against ruthless adversaries who will stop at nothing to protect their interests.In Stop Them Dead, Peter James not only weaves a fast-paced thriller but also exposes a profoundly dark underbelly of the dog trade. His narrative pulls back the curtain on the sinister machinations that fuel this illicit industry, shedding light on the chilling reality behind the seemingly innocuous world of pet ownership.Peter's literary prowess is evident in his meticulous attention to detail and his adeptness at creating multidimensional characters. His detective, Roy Grace, embodies the quintessential traits required of the ultimate fictional detective: keen observational skills (25%), unwavering attention to detail (24%), exceptional problem-solving ability (23%), intelligence (23%), a razor-sharp memory (17%), and a healthy dose of patience (13%). These qualities converge to form a compelling and relatable protagonist, guiding readers through the intricate web of mysteries Peter James expertly spins.Intriguingly, Peter James draws inspiration from the world around him, much like his readers who find their heroes in their parents and their femme fatale in their closest confidants. For Peter, the genesis of his villains can be traced to experiences with ex-partners, while the impetus for his heroes often stems from reflections on the relationships he shares with his parents.As the release of Stop Them Dead approaches, Peter James is available to share insights on what distinguishes an exceptional fictional detective and the wellspring from which he draws inspiration for the indelible characters that populate his bestselling novels.ITV's immensely popular adaptation of Peter James' Roy Grace novels continues to captivate television audiences, immersing them in the world of Detective Superintendent Roy Grace. Filmed against the vibrant backdrop of Brighton, the series stars John Simm as Roy Grace and Richie Campbell as DS Glenn Branson. With the renewal of the series for a fourth season slated for 2024, fans can eagerly anticipate more thrilling episodes. The first three series are available for streaming on ITVX and Britbox.

D:Ream is a Northern Irish/English pop rock and dance group. They had a UK No. 1 hit with "Things Can Only Get Better" in 1994. Eight more top 40 hits followed, including "U R the Best Thing" and "Shoot Me with Your Love". They released three albums, two of which reached the UK top five. The group had an all-male line-up which varied in number, but mainly centred on lead singer Peter Cunnah. The live band included keyboard player Brian Cox, who is now a renowned physicist and television presenter; although Cunnah, as the only official member, normally played keyboards (along with all other instruments) on studio recordings.D:Ream first came to prominence with the euphoric single "U R the Best Thing" in the summer of 1992, an anthemic piano-house tune which did not chart but thanks to a Sasha remix was Pete Tong's Essential Tune of 1992. "Things Can Only Get Better", released in the spring of 1993, gave the group their first chart success. "U R The Best Thing" was eventually re-released in April 1993 and gave the group their second chart hit. The band were nominated for Best Dance act in the MTV Europe music awards in 1994 and for Best Single in the Brit Awards in 1995.The band's first album, D:Ream on Volume 1, which was promoted for almost two years, produced seven singles ("Star" and "I Like It" came on a joint release as a double A-side). It was the track "Things Can Only Get Better" that gave them UK success and international fame. After they supported Take That on their tour, "Things Can Only Get Better" topped the UK Singles Chart, in early 1994. Originally released in early 1993, when the track reached No. 24 in the UK, it was later adopted by the Labour Party as their theme for the 1997 UK General Election, and consequently released for the third time; this time reaching No. 19 on the UK chart.Between 1992 and 1997, the band released two studio albums, (D:Ream on Volume 1 and World), ten different singles (two of which were released three times), and an official greatest hits album, (The Best of D:Ream). The group's record label released their first compilation, The Best of D:Ream, in 1997 instead of their third studio album, which remains unreleased. In 2006, a second collection was released, for The Platinum Collection series.When D:Ream broke through into the charts, the band's main touring line-up consisted of core member Peter Cunnah (vocalist, songwriter), Al Mackenzie (musician), and Cian McCarthy. Other main performers included physicist Brian Cox who played keyboards for several years while working towards his physics PhD before being replaced by Richard Garbutt, Derek Chai on bass, and drummer Mark Roberts. The group also used a number of guest vocalists – such as T.J. Davis, who is featured as co-lead vocalist on "The Power (Of All the Love in the World)", one of the singles taken from their second album, as well as providing backing vocals on many other songs.
