    Keith York is yet another Englishman, with pirate experience already under his belt including an offshore pirate, before he came to Ireland. Like others, Keith was very influential in Irish pirates in the 1980s. He was an engineer as well as a deejay/presenter and was involved in setting up some of the pirates that he was with. His nickname was "Yorkie".

    Here is a list of Irish pirates that I am aware of that he was involved with.

    Dublin: Southside Radio, Dun Laoghaire; Island Radio, Dalkey

    Cork: South Coast Radio, Cork City - Cork's first super pirate; WKLR, Bandon, Co. Cork

    Galway: Atlantic Sound 1026, WLS, Coast 103, Quincentennial Radio - 1989

    If you know of any other Irish pirates that Keith York was involved with, please add to the list.

    I’m guessing he may have done HITS 954 in Limerick too

    From what I can see, Hits 954 closed and merged with Galway's Coast 103 to form Coast Hot Hits, and it does not look like Keith was actually involved with Hits 954 other than the merging of the two stations. The same seems to apply to Steve Marshall, who I had another thread about. Steve and Keith set up Coast 103.
