Moloney - "After Midnight" and beyond

Anyone remember this show on 2FM a good while back? It had Amelia GoLightly on it about 12.10 every night? Well, I'm trying to find the bit of music he played at the start of the show, I think it was Faithless, but I was 12 when I used listen to it, so I'm not sure. Anyone know?
Cheers, WP

I'm not sure - sorry.

Yeah, thanks for that.

I'm puzzled. I don't remember him playing any music as an intro for the show. I always thought he came on after the news and that was it. Now, there was some background music for Amelia GoLightly but it was the generic 'A Prayer At Bedtime' sort of music afaicr.

Just to add, Insomnia by Faithless (which is what I'd imagine is the tune you might be thinking of) came out in 1996 so it was either a later incarnation of the show you are talking about or it was some earlier piece of music. I was in college around the time and can remember listening to the show around 94, possibley 93 and 96 was my last memory of listening to it. I don't actually know the air dates for the show overall.

I have very fond memories of this programme, I remember listening to it as student around 93' - '95. Anyone remember the Barry White tracks Moloney used to play to help lonely housemates get together? There used to be very relaxed interviews with musicians too, I'm convinced that some of the guests were jarred, another thing too was Moloney's love of the word "allegedly", I don't believe he ever finished a programme without using it

I used to listen to this in bed.

Amelia Golightly was very funny.

The only song I can associate with this show, however, was Robbie Robertson's "Somewhere Down the Crazy River", he played it a lot - it reminds me of drifting off to sleep... great song.

Why not ask the man himself-You will find him on FaceBook and he is very approachable.

Does anyone know if Mike Moloney still works as a DJ, if so, which station as I'd love to listen to one of his shows. Nostalgia is getting the better of me

Off topic here but does anyone remember Gerry Wilsons show that used be on before that? I thought it was very good and always listened in when studying for the Leaving Cert.
