    Just watched the whole lot - community stations can learn a lot from the pirate stations of the past.

    I like the video of Fianna Fáil's pirate station "Election Radio '92" :)

    Shame neither Carey or Robinson got a licence when they were issued, maybe we would have had something a little different to listen to if they had.

    Thanks for the clips mike , Oh to be a Pirate again instead of all the regulations, red tape and brown envelopes involved in legal radio.

    Indeed it was , Both Chris Carey (Spangles Muldoon) owner of Radio Nova, And Robbie Robbinson (Admiral Robbie Dale) owner of Radio Sunshine , plied their trade on Radio Caroline. It's no wonder then that Nova and Sunshine were so good that they are still held in such high esteem twenty years since ther were shut down.
