Irish TV reports on 70th birthday celebrations

Belfast-born Jimmy Cricket’s 70^th birthday party was covered by Irish TV.

The television station is viewed in over 140 countries across the world and is Ireland’s first international TV channel.

Its aim is to broadcast local stories to a global audience and it has a programme called Out and About in Manchester, which is broadcast weekly and is presented by correspondent Martin Logan.

Martin attended famous entertainer Jimmy’s 70^th birthday celebrations at the popular Frog and Bucket comedy venue in Manchester last month, along with his cameraman, Sam, and spent a fair amount of time capturing the atmosphere at the event.

They grabbed an interview with the birthday boy himself and also got a word with Jimmy’s oldest daughter, Jamie, who had travelled up from her base in London to be there.

Irish TV can be viewed in the UK on the Sky platform channel 191, Freesat 400, and online at www.irishtv.ie and www.irishtv.com.

A special visit from Dublin-based Irish TV

Jimmy Cricket and Martin Logan were filmed for Irish TV

Jimmy and Martin were filmed in Rochdale for the Irish TV relaunch…

Jimmy Cricket got a special visit from Irish TV to his home in Rochdale recently.

The Belfast-born entertainer was among several celebrities from around the Manchester area to be filmed as part of a relaunch by the satellite channel.

… and meet the cameraman!

Irish TV, which is aimed at an audience based in Ireland and the overseas ex-pats market, has a Manchester-based presenter called Martin Logan. Jimmy has previously appeared with Martin on the station.

The channel has just had a relaunch in Dublin which will see Martin present a new programme from Manchester each week.

To mark the occasion, Martin asked some Manchester-based celebrities with an Irish connection to wish the channel all the very best for the future.

So Martin came to Jimmy’s home in late April with his cameraman and they filmed some footage of the funnyman being his usual comical self.
