In between during the '00s, he was on temporary licensed Premier FM and Choice FM. Bernard Evans was with the pirate scene during the '80s and the early '90s, finishing with Radio Dublin. He may well have crossed paths with Paul Wilson when he was with Radio Dublin. Chris Adams also goes to that period in Radio Dublin. Along with Joe Doyle (who knows, he might turn up yet), Chris was involved with temporary licensed runs for IMR (Irish Music Radio) / CIMR (Country and Irish Music Radio)/ Hot Country and Heartbeat FM. Paul Wilson also turned up on some of those temporary license runs. Paul Duffy was with '90s and '00s pirate Freedom FM. He was also one of the operators of The 90s Network when it had temporary license runs. Paul has also done work with FM104. Is that the same Brian Walsh that started in Galway pirates and is now involved with Music One Ireland, and has turned up on Classic Hits? Maybe it's a different Brian Walsh. What about Paul Ormonde, Shireen Langan and Simon Davis?

Maybe, as well as some of Paul Wilson's pals, we may get some more ex-Freedom deejays through Simon and Paul Duffy. Paul Wilson is connected with Mike Doyle, having done some presenting on Mike's Retro FM. They were also both involved with some of the Fun Radio runs, a joint collaboration between mainly oldies-oriented pirates in the last few years.

Pirates heard were ABC 96, Chill, and the 90s Network (who were fighting a losing battle against a bunch of BBC Radio One signals). Also heard something that sounded religious on 87.5 .. is the UCB relay still active in Wicklow?
Antenna wrote: » How long ago was 'Easy' last on the air as a pirate station? Its now on the air every Saturday and Sunday until July 11th (inclusive) with the temporary licence Some might say they could make much more of an impact if they ran non-stop for 30 days consecutive, as during weekdays listeners might like a musical change from talkshows etc (and we are told to try and take a break from hearing too much of the C word)
