Planxty Noel Hill on the radio

On Tuesday, February 7 (2017), I heard "Planxty Noel Hill" on the radio for the first time in my life, if not in the song's life itself.

It was on CBC Radio, as a musical interlude between two novelty stories about a yellow car vandalized in Bibury, Cotswolds, and some loser who ran seven marathons in seven days.

Good spot. Was Noel Hill himself implicated in either the car-vandalising or the marathon-running? It could explain it.

You know, the car story was about a yellow car that was presumably vandalized for "ruining the view" in a well-known historic neighbourhood of old houses. As we all know, Noel is a staunch traditionalist, so maybe in fact he's a suspect :D
