Bring back Irish Eye to BBC Radio

Bring back Irish Eye to BBC Radio

The Issue

Henry Wymbs has transformed BBC Radio Oxford on a Sunday since he started presenting Irish Eye.

He's been entertaining the Irish ex-pats, and the general public -not to mention his listeners from all around the world for 23 years. Joined by his lovely wife Sally they play a mixture of Irish music and interviews. They brighten up every Sunday afternoon, especially with Henry's witty banter!

Since the COVID outbreak, Henry because of his age (21) has had to stay away from the studio, bringing heartache to his legion of followers. 

This petition is to get him back to his rightful throne as the king of BBC Radio Oxford, the possibility of a move to an evening in the week has been mentioned as he's getting on a bit, we need to preserve this national treasure for a while longer and ensure he doesn't retire anytime too.
