    Glad to see my Ronan Collins suggestion worked! He's very responsive to listeners ;)

    Our dog was fed religiously every day just as Harbour Hotel was starting. So when the dog was sent to my sister's to be minded for the first time, she couldn't understand why the dog went into a fit of barking at her and jumping around the place every day when Harbour Hotel would start!! The poor dog was conditioned to expect dinner whenever that tune started! :D



    ....it's stuck in my head now too! :rolleyes:

    Interesting list of RTÉ recordings here. I don't see Harbour Hotel on it anywhere.

    Bear in mind that the theme tune to the Gay Byrne radio show was not an RTÉ tune, it's actually 'Tico's Tune', by 'Manuel & the Music of the Mountains', and that could be true of Harbour Hotel too.

    The Gay Byrne Radio Show music. Listen to it from 15 seconds in :)



    Great find mo chara


    Would of driven spare if I hadn't heard it soon :D

    Sorry for resurecting a zombie thread.I picked up an old LP of library music in a charity shop during the week.Playing side 2 I had an immediete sense of deja-vu on one particular track.I knew it was from Radio One that I remembered it and spent considerable time racking my brain till the name Harbour Hotel popped into my head.Googling it brought me to All Things Retro(where else?).Heres the record that the piece of music appears on.

    Nice find, anything else of interest on it? Was it UK or Irish TV that the music is based ?

    It was produced by a UK company Boosey And Hawkes,released in 1972.Its library music so it wouldent have been for sale commercialy.The rest of the music is in a pretty similar vein,its all based around a pastoral theme.I'm not aware of any of the other music being used in anything but its bound to have been at some point down the years.
