Veteran DJ Tony Allan (RIP) rang in 1985 on Dublin super-pirate Radio Nova. In this recording, Tony is in top form as he reads out New Year’s greetings from listeners and shares recorded inserts from Nova colleagues Bob Gallico, Colm Hayes and John Clarke. Bernie Jameson presents a news review of 1984 and in time for midnight, there is a link-up with Peter Madison (RIP) at the Nova Park nightclub nearby in Rathfarnham. The broadcast also includes a New Year’s message from Nova boss Chris Cary, who refers to the large number of staff who moved on during 1984.
The tape is from the Anoraks Ireland Collection and was recorded from 102.7 FM between 2236-0013 on 31st December 1984 and 1st January 1985.
