Microdisney and A House are played fairly often.....especially late night. Also get played during the day. When did you hear Horslips being played last during the day?

Yeah, normally Town but heard some of their other stuff too. But might have been on Locals Only or one of the other non prime shows.

Irish songs/bands that spring to mind when I've listened to Nova during the night for whatever reason:

Microdisney - Town To Town
Something Happens - Daisyhead
Boomtown Rats - Someone's Looking At You
A House - Here Come The Good Times
Energy Orchard - She's The One That I Adore

I have to say, I'd like all of the above, and have added them to playlists. They're not often heard elsewhere, though.

Sad to say that they only seem to feature on over night. Would love to hear more from The Rats - was too young and far away to have seen them live.

On the plus side.....just heard a Maiden track outside of the Fri rock show

Why do they continue to allow people on air who are guessing old guesses. Surely they can be filtered out before going live.
It's nearly like they are only allowing callers with previous guesses on air to belittle them.
Or to increase hits on the website to check the list.

I often thought the same myself. The only reasonable theory I have is that if they stopped people from guessing old answers, then they may not get enough calls on-air to play the game.

Probably why they get annoyed that paople are'nt looking at "the listttt"...and it drives the money up..its a sh1t idea anyway imo..

IT'S OVER AT LAST!! Nova noise was finally guessed so we are free from that stupidity.

Can't figure out how the clues were connected to the actual answer.

Because the cups are going down into the holder, not up out of it. So if you took the cups out, you'd be making the noise up (not down), and you'd be wrong.

Radio Nova 6 years old ? I remember another radio Nova from the 80s around the Radio Dublin latter years

Still don't get where the creaking noise at the end comes from. I knew it would be one of those things where when I heard it it still didn't make any sense.

And don't get me started on the "you may or may not" clues. :rolleyes:

hullaballoo

The "creaking" is the cup dispenser shaking after the cups were thrown in.

That was a complete pile of shoite altogether.

The guy who won it is a friend of a Nova employee....

...probably...;)
His girl friend nearly guessed the answer, then he comes on ( on the same day) with the same roundabout answer and gets it....you could'nt make it up....:rolleyes:

He is not a friend of a Nova employee. The other caller was not his girlfriend, it was a neighbour, both are married to other people.

he said "girl friend"
