I can warmly recommend this internet station - I have it on much of the time. No jocks - just fabulous music from that unforgettable decade. It's no ordinary '80s option either - the focus is on featuring really great 'radio' hits played back in the day by Dublin 'superpirate' Radio Nova and others. Often tracks that didn't make the UK charts....... Stuff like 'Alibis' by Sergio Mendes, 'Guardian Angel' by Masquerade, 'Sunshine Reggae' by Laid Back, 'My Baby (Gone Gone Gone)' by Chilliwack. It appears to be run on a shoestring by a group of Irish anoraks, not even having a website - but don't let that put you off. It can be accessed via http://tunein.com/radio/Real-80s-Dublin-881-s165757/ This also includes the Tunein App on your smartphones - type in 'Real 80s Dublin' - only a 128k stream, but that just adds to the pleasure Trust me, if you are remotely into the '80s you will be hooked when you hear this one!

There is no website Alec - there is a very interesting thread re this station, if you read it through one of the Anoraks behind the station gives his vision. Btw it was on FM only then switched to Internet only - the 128k stream sounds fab in the car, and I note Virgin have just launched an unlimited data tariff! http://www.radiowavesforum.com/rw/showthread.php?t=23298
