When you start to look at the developments over the past year, it's all happening for a reason. Employing Lucy Kennedy for a start, a bizarre move I'm sure we'd agree? She has no interest in the genre of music that the station purportedly carers to. She's already a household name with plentiful employment in the Irish media, so much so that she's often absent from her duties at Nova to work on other projects. Why would she join a 'rock' station who is a minor player on the Dublin airwaves at best? Add to that the frequent plugging of Virgin Media on Nova, it's all very strange. I've discussed it before on this thread, but I firmly believe that Nova is currently laying the groundwork for a takeover by Virgin. Once it goes national, Virgin Radio Ireland could be the new kid in town, with their golden child, Lucy Kennedy, at the helm.

There was a great collection of tracks that included: - Station to Station by David Bowie, - two songs from the album On the Boards by Taste (a Rory Gallagher-led band) - First: What's Going On and then (I think) On The Boards (the latter had a jazz feel and featured Rory on saxophone!) - Some tune by Howlin' Wolf - two songs from the album A Nod is as Good as a Wink to a Blind Horse by the Faces: Stay with Me and Debris. The first does get played quite a bit on Nova and features Rod Stewart on lead vocals. The latter was a Ronnie Lane led tune. - full album version of E.L.O's Roll Over Beethoven from the album ELO2. Great Stuff.
