The Eighties Express and The Afternoon Delight Show

Emmet Baldwin  - Hits Radio Ireland

The Eighties Express - Friday 6 pm - 8 pm

Emmet knows that the 80s wasn't just a decade—it was a revolution. On The Eighties Express, he brings that passion to life, curating a weekly journey from the New Wave underground to the peak of the global charts. Expect the unexpected: one minute you’re grooving to The Brothers Johnson, the next you’re pogoing to The Lambettas. With a love for the genre that spans from the gloss of Duran Duran to the soul of ABC, the new wave of Depeche Mode to the slow sets with Lionel Richie, Emmet is your conductor through the greatest musical era of all time

Afternoon Delight - Saturday from 3 pm and Sunday from 4 pm

From the 60’s rock n’roll to the 70s swamp-rock and music’s true legends to the freshest chart-toppers of 2026, The Afternoon Delight is your ultimate cross-genre soundtrack. Whether you’re gearing up for a Saturday night or winding down your Sunday, we bridge the decades with sharp segues and the stories behind the songs. It’s a curated journey through every era and every style—brought together daily for the sheer joy of the listen.
