Gay Byrne on Gerry Ryan's Radio Show Feb 2003

In February 2003, Gay Byrne appeared on Gerry Ryan’s Radio Show to officially hand over his Harley Davidson motorbike to Harry Crosbie, who bought it for €30k in a charity auction in aid of Crumlin Children’s hospital.
This video footage was shot then but only synced with the radio feed today - 17 years later!
There are some poignant moments contained within!

I loved Gaybo. His morning shows kept me company as a young mother of 5 way back in the late 70s and 80s. May they both rest in peace

What a wonderful clip and of course a very generous gesture by Gay and Mr Crosbie. Lovely to see what goes on in the background on a Iive show and the bit on barging in to Pat Kenny while live on air was hilarious. I used to work evening shifts (5pm - 3am) in a factory in the late 70's early 80's so for those two or three years I used to wake up to hearing Gaybo on the radio in the kitchen and no matter what day it was there was always something interesting to hear. Also loved him on his evening show "Music on the move" when I was just home from school in the early 70's. Valerie McGovern took over from him and she was just as good.

This is a very unique video I wonder why it was filmed like this and uploaded this way of the two legends

[@MrShamrock56]

These 2 legends obviously got on so so well,I never actually realised that.RIP to both

[@Proteus6684]

Great guys....both a treasure and greatly missed equally

[@rgearr1808]

Gay should've stayed on the radio after he finished the late late....

[@o00scorpion00o]

after 30 years every day on radio and the late late on top of that ? he came back due to financial issues if I remember correctly due to bad financial advice. Other than that he probably wouldn't have bothered.

[@o00scorpion00o]

It's amazing to see them alive and well 20 years ago and what can happen in 20 years.
I bet Gay never imagined he'd be going to Gerry's funeral.

Lovely gesture by Gay.

[@Proteus6684]

I've just realised they have both had a drink and dont give a fuck lmao (ref 06:43 they are going way off sketch and are having a laugh and the crew are having to interrupt)

[@gavinwatters1293]

Gerry was a talent before her succumbed to coke.

[@johnnybgood5836]

Do radio folk actually converse like this off air ? RIP lads but this theatrical exchange is almost parody of yourselves. You'll be not bothered about that anymore of course. Peace brothers.
