Welcome to one of the largest archives of radio related material on the web. The Irish Era was one of the first web sites about the former Irish pirate radio scene. In our early days, a text file was a great achievement to have on line. There was no broadband in every town and village back then. Photos had to be butchered way down in size to extreme values like 6k, for slow dial up!! Some of the images have not really been improved much since then. The people who produce the pages for this site are easily distracted.

When we saw our work being used to help with the RADIO NOVA documentary in May 2008, we were shamed back to work!! In the early days, much of the Irish Era site was made up of all the colours of the rainbow, simply because we could. But it really was not too pleasing to the eye!!

Many years have passed us by since the first major clean up, around the year 2000. Even then, the job was never finished. Another major redesign was done, keeping the plain and simple format throughout, with drop down menus. When you see many of the messy web pages of today with flashing lights and ads and pop ups all over the place, I think the right choice was made.

In 2016 we still strive to update and add to this archive which was born from very humble beginnings in 1996!!

This page may serve as an index page for the Irish Era, as space in particularly limited on the drop down menu system, if we don't want the page to become messy that is.
