The Cafe is an Irish chat programme aimed at youthful persons. It was broadcast on RTÉ Two as part of the TTV strand each Friday evening at 19:00, having switched from its previous location in the Thursday scheduling from 7 November 2008.
It was presented by Aidan Power, although Laura Woods and Liam McCormack were his previous co-presenters. The waitress was Avril Kelly, who served drinks to the audience and guests and acts as the announcer of what would occur following the commercial break.opening .[1]
Chats were conducted with two or three guests, there were comic inserts and a musical performance rounded off the show (although sometimes a musical performance may have started the show a well). Past guests included Jason Byrne and Donna and Joseph McCaul,[2] PJ Gallagher and Tom McGurk,[3] Glen Wallace and Jennifer Metcalfe, Caroline Morahan,[4] Amanda Byram, Michelle Heaton,[5] Nicola McLean, Daithí Ó Sé, The Kinetiks,[6] The Coronas, Rosanna Davision, Jacob Byrne,[7] Oliver Callan (aka Gay Byrne) and Pat Kenny,[8] wrestlers Scotty 2 Hotty and Joe Legend,[9] The Saw Doctors,[10] panellist John Bishop[11] and Skins actors Mike Bailey, Daniel Kaluuya and Larissa Wilson.[12]
The Cafe completed transmission of its fifth season on 27 March 2009. A sixth season was revealed on 14 August 2009 by Aidan Power to be on the way.[13] The last ever episode was broadcast on 2 April 2010 due to its axing by RTÉ to make way for new programming.[14]
