Today FM staged the biggest live performance in the history of Irish radio today – paying tribute to their dear colleague Tony Fenton who passed away in March this year.
The station gathered 100 musicians into their studio to perform U2’s hit One in aid of the Irish Cancer Society which caused an emotional reaction from listeners.
The special recording also marked the launch of the Today FM album, Whole Lotta Live which features the best of the live sessions from the station.
