2fm brought an 80-year-old man to Kasabian after he wrote a great letter to The Irish Times
BACK IN SEPTEMBER, an 80-year-old Galway man called Tom Grealy wrote a letter to The Irish Times that tickled a few funny bones across the country.
The Irish Times The Irish Times
Jennifer Zamparelli, Bernard O’Shea and Keith Walsh from Breakfast Republic on 2fm were huge fans of Tom’s letter – they decided to get in touch with him, and to no one’s surprise, he turned out to be a bit of a tonic:

Yesterday was the big day, and sure enough, Tom arrived up for the gig with his daughters in tow.
Speaking on this morning’s show, Jen said they all had a whale of a time:
