Quiz: Do you remember these famous jingles?
Liveline’s iconic jingle has been axed and replaced – but how well do you remember these other famous jingles?
THIS WEEK SAW former Newstalk presenter Kieran Cuddihy ascend to the Liveline throne on RTÉ Radio One.
The show has the same phone number – but its classic jingle tune has been axed and replaced.
Those who have listened to Liveline will be familiar with the signature tune that plays before the show kicks off. It comes from Over The Moors, an instrumental piece of music by the Irish folk band Stockton’s Wing from their 1986 album Full Flight, and it predates even Joe Duffy’s reign as presenter.
Musician Mike Hanrahan, who is a member of Stockton’s Wing, told The Journal that while he’s sorry that the jingle has been changed, he doesn’t feel aggrieved “at all”.
In honour of Over The Moors, we’re quizzing you on these famous jingles.
