Anyone know what this former sunshine radio (the 80s pirate) and RTE personality of the 80s/90s is up to these days? Did he ever get back into radio after he left 2FM around 1996?. He would have started in Radio 2FM the same time as T. Fenton and J. Clarke (1985). I know he did well selling The Lyrics Board idea on TV…

I know he did well selling The Lyrics Board idea on TV worldwide in the late 90s but did he lose it all in the on-line Irish Channel America 10 or so years back?

I tried many many times to enter The Pop Brain of Ireland quiz on his show on a Sunday night around 87/88

But never could cos us living down the country always had to dial two more digits than the dubs on the old rotary phones.

AKA Paul Nicholas owner of Southside Radio 300 meters medium wave.

It was a great sounding station nearly 36 years ago.

Ah memories.
