Help me remember name of Radio Show

leftfooter

Hi All,

I've just spent a couple of hours trying to locate a radio show archive that I used to listen to around 10ish years ago. For the life of me I can remember the name. I'm pretty sure it was on Today FM and started about midnight, Monday thru Thursday with a 2 hour slot. It was very indie, and I definitely heard a lot of very eclectic stuff there for the first time (early Lisa Hannigan springs to mind). If I'm not mistaken, apart from the news, it was also ad free.

The DJ was a very quietly spoken guy, and there used to be a little blurb in the show that said something like 'Quiet Please' before a set was starting. I thought it might have been Tom Dunne Pet Sounds, but the more I search, the less I'm convinced.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Wasn't Pet Sounds at that time slot anyway, (unless it was repeated). That went out at 7pm after The Last Word.

Donal Daneen maybe?

Yeah that sounds like The Small Hours, it had a very eclectic intro and one of the bits had someone saying, "Quiet please, it's time for rehearsal."

Here is a link to a very big show archive

EDIT:

Thats an old link I have from ages ago, apologies, it appears to still have tracklistings and descriptions but no longer has the audio

Was it called 'Here Comes The Night' by any chance?

More Music

Yeah, Here Comes The Night was the original Radio Ireland show that started in 1997.

It changed at some stage to Small Hours. Not sure when, but think it might have 2005.

Thanks guys, it was indeed Small Hours with DD. I was able to track down the guy who had setup the archive. He had forgotten to renew the sites DNS but has since fixed it and now everythings working again. Thanks again!
