    Forgotten now but the LLS was on Saturday until some point in the 80s. I can't remember if they filled the slot with Kenny Live immediately or not.

    I heard 'Uncle Pat' by Ash recently for the first time in yonks, remembered it was from some old beer ad and went to look for it and found these RTE ads from 1996:
