			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <strong><em>Ger’s Audio Gifts</em></strong> 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.</p>
<p> 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.  </p>
<p> The majority of <strong><em>Ger’s Audio Gifts</em></strong> produced to date are for birthdays. The gift includes the following&#8230;.</p>
<ul>
<li> A personalised introduction from Ger telling the listener who commissioned the gift and why. Occasionally messages or comments  requested are included</li>
<li>Some information about the particular day and date that person was born</li>
<li>A list of the Top 10 songs in the charts on that day with a clip of the birthday Number 1</li>
<li>Details of some of the stories that made headlines on the listener’s birthdays down through the years&#8230;..with the usual Ger Sweeney-style comments!!</li>
<li>Clips of the Number 1 song in the charts on the birthdays at ten year intervals</li>
<li>Some personal information supplied by the person commissioning the gift can be included such as a college graduation, a marriage, birth and so on.</li>
<li>Optional clips and messages from loved ones to be included (as in the example below)</li>
<li>Details of famous people who share their birthday with the listener.</li>
<li>Other information may be included depending on the listener’s interests and likes.</li>
<li>Any other mischief that pops into Ger’s head as he presents the programme.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><em>Ger’s Audio Gifts </em></strong>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.</p>
<p>Below are some examples of what an Audio Gift consists of. Permission to post the gifts is very much appreciated.</p>
<p>Almost any occasion is an opportunity to commission one of <strong>Ger’s Audio Gifts</strong>. If you would like to chat to Ger Sweeney about an idea for a gift just click <a href="http://www.gersweeney.net/contact/">here</a> and he will contact you directly.
