 Ger’s Audio Gifts are mini programmes that are researched, produced and presented by Ger Sweeney. They are commissioned by people who want to give someone they love a special gift relative to a specific celebration.

 As a broadcaster Ger always managed to make his listener feel that he was talking only to that one person. With this concept he now is.  

 The majority of Ger’s Audio Gifts produced to date are for birthdays. The gift includes the following….

•  A personalised introduction from Ger telling the listener who commissioned the gift and why. Occasionally messages or comments  requested are included
• Some information about the particular day and date that person was born
• A list of the Top 10 songs in the charts on that day with a clip of the birthday Number 1
• Details of some of the stories that made headlines on the listener’s birthdays down through the years…..with the usual Ger Sweeney-style comments!!
• Clips of the Number 1 song in the charts on the birthdays at ten year intervals
• Some personal information supplied by the person commissioning the gift can be included such as a college graduation, a marriage, birth and so on.
• Optional clips and messages from loved ones to be included (as in the example below)
• Details of famous people who share their birthday with the listener.
• Other information may be included depending on the listener’s interests and likes.
• Any other mischief that pops into Ger’s head as he presents the programme.

Ger’s Audio Gifts are supplied in a presentation wallet. The audio is contained on a CD and is accompanied by a copy of the script detailing all of the information heard.

Below are some examples of what an Audio Gift consists of. Permission to post the gifts is very much appreciated.

Almost any occasion is an opportunity to commission one of Ger’s Audio Gifts. If you would like to chat to Ger Sweeney about an idea for a gift just click here and he will contact you directly.
