Radio Nova

Boys and Girls........

I know that there has been some discussion about the welcome return of Radio Nova to the air. As some of you may know the legend that is Pat James  has a show on Sunday nights.

It was Pat that kicked off my interest in the music when I was about 13/14 as he had a lateish show on Radio Dublin which I listened to religiously every night under the covers when I was supposed to be asleep in me scratcher.

Here's what he sent me !

Hi Rolo I have only just logged on to the site as i usually just browse as a visitor. But I thought I would let you guys know that I am once again back on the air. The show is called "OFF THE RECORD" and it airs on RADIO NOVA 100 on Sunday Nights start time is 10 pm till 1am. Usual mix of sounds but would love to hear from the GROVE community re tracks or bands they would like to hear.The show is unplaylisted so nearly anything goes(well almost) Not being well up on the posting side of things i'll leave it with you but if you could post the news up you would have my thanks.

My email address at Nova is pat.james@nova.ie but at the moment its not online.but as soon as its up i will give you a shout..Really like visiting the site love all the posts on Music Biker Pat sounds like a guy i could have a long chat to.

So Cheers and Thanks,

Pat J.

Was listening to that a few nights ago...he featured 'Dark Side of the Moon'.

Have to agree, Pete. Good listening in the car.

Listening to Nova a lot this week. Great classic tracks.

When a track comes on I don't like (not often) then I flick over the Phantom. Gives me a chance to keep up with new rock and indie stuff.

Just realised that I haven't listened to any other channel besides those two in the last week.

Will make a point of listening to Pat James. He was part of the holy trinity that shaped my musical taste. (Cecil Nolan, Pat James, OGWT)

I have been listening to Radio Nova non-stop since they started last week.

It's brilliant!!   Most of the music they play bring me back thirty years when I was going to the Grove.

You can't beat a good Grove song!!!!

From memory Fanning was on The Big D in and around the same time that Pat was on Radio Dublin. Funny,but always thought Fanning was a bit of a bluffer................and look at him now !

Hey Dave...............remember the Dummy Dire Strait ???

Probably "Peter Gunn"

Hi Pat,

Been trying to email you but you ain't set up yet.

Also just off the phone from Cecil Nolan and he said he'll be listening in to Nova.

Vinyl is still my favourite mode of music. Still have my vinyl collection as do many others on this site.

Of course with the passage of time CD's are also needed.

Anyway, hope you enjoy here.

The members here are really greats folks, and "we got one thing in common", we got The Grove in our souls

Hey Dave...............remember the Dummy Dire Strait ??? Just on Dave Fanning - I've always liked his shows but wished he would not interupt when interviewing and ask such long winded questions. Interesting, his autobigraphy is out in a few weeks and I think it could be quite an interesting read. Have been listening to Nova the last while and quite impressed. A nice alternative to say Phantom FM. Last night

That is one book a MUST RRAD - always admired & liked Dave Fanning.
