Thread Name: Found A Great Radio Show in Belfast!
Subject: RE: Found A Great Radio Show in Belfast!
A station I rarely listen to. More out of habit than anything else. My time is restricted. But I remember the night it first went on air. A lot of hype preceded it. After the first 5 minutes - blank, zilch, nada, rien, dadaí. It turned out that a minion had tripped on a stray cable and had pulled out a simple plug that supplied the station with power. Red faces all round !! Needless to say, they haven't loked back since. Interesting to point out that the electronics were designed and fitted by Peter Lloyd, a friend of Phil Coulter, Dan Farmer (Canada take note), Bernard Mc Laverty (Cal etc.), Joe Mc Williams (Artist), John Moulden (Who?), Sally Ogle (California take note), Henry O'Prey (Who ???) and other heads including Jimmy Deane, Séamas Heaney (Yes, the very same)etc. What a generation THAT was !!
