hi  ::)  the  208 song  i was thinking about was  maybe the morning by   sunny  leslie,  the song you were singing  trish is  the  end  of  the  day  by  steve  conway, lovely words
eddy

YES YES YES>..lol, I can hear it now, am just doing a search on Limewire for it now
!!

Hi Dee...Liam has it on c.d.  :)

OMG does he...Maybe the Morning????
I would love a copy!!
Liamo , me darlin????
any chance?

By the way...Trisha I think you mentioned radio calorline peeps...It was in fact Chris Cary who was a founder of Caroline, then worked with Luxembourg and on to Dublin to launch Radio Nova and Kiss FM
I worked for him for about a year.....Interesting year!!!
They have a web site which has loads on it on Irish pirate stations and it covers caroline.
irishpirates.com
check it out

Incidentally, I'm not a moron or ill educated just type too fast ...hence all the typo's
Apologies!

Apologies accepted. I wasn't referring to you as a moron, just someone else! Paul Burnett was just a D.J. on Caroline & Luxy. Many of the D.J's on Caroline moved to Luxy when the authorities eventually traced them. I believe he has a Saturday slot here on Radio Northampton - must check it out. Oh...Maybe the Morning was released by two singers. Sunny Leslie ('78 -'83 on Luxy) was one & Marian Montgomery ('70's) was the other if that's any help.  I think it's the Steve Conway one that Liam has.  :)

Hello. Sorry, it's not Steve Conway. I have Brendan Bowyer singing it on his last album "On Higher Ground". As soon as I can I'll type the lyrics and put them on the forum ;)

Hahahah, my reference to 'Not being a moron' Is pure coincidence Trisha...I already know you are a civil and pleasant individual...however..let him without sin cast the first stone ..dontcha think?????
lol
oh and are you sure it wasn't marion raven?

::)hi   ::)  there are two versions from the seventies,  the one i am most used to hearing is the 1972 version by marian montgomery, i used to listen to radio caroline  aired from a ship, early seventies, the end of the day from the late fifties english singer steve conway,

Did you know that Steve Conway's real name was Walter Groom? He died aged just 31. Just a bit of trivial info.... ::)

::) ::)angel voice i read on the caroline website, that it was a young  irsh  man that founded radio caroline, ::) ::) ::)

At The End Of The Day.  Lyrics.

As Per The Recording I Have

At the end of the day just kneel and say
Thank you Lord for my work and play
I tried to be good for I know that I should
That's my prayer at the end of the day.

So when the new dawn begins to break
Just lift up your eyes, let your heart awake
Be ready to meet what the day has to send
And be ready to greet every man as a friend.

Nobody knows what a power you have found
So do what you can for the others around
Carry them high when they seem to be low
As on your way you go.

Repeat--- At the end etc.

Just thinking, it'd be a great place if we all did that ;D
Just thinking also, I never knew there were as many ould sentimentals like myself around ;D

My thoughts are ...that if we can all remember the 'showband' era, then none of us are Spring Chickens...Summer or Autumn ones  - perhaps!... ;D. Also..well done Liam...those song words are truly inspiring. ;)

How about winter chickens ;D

::)back in 1972 ::)when we had BEAUTIFULL SUNNY WEATHER, like we have here to day in ireland  i was about two  months of fab weather away from being 18 awwwwwwwwwwwwww ::) ::) ::) and i guess i was looking at the local paper to see if my fave bands were playing locally,  oh the memories,  ::)

How about spring chickens hatched eggs grown up into hens & cocks

You're right about that Irish guy eddy

How odd...lol
I wrote hens and c.o.c.k.s/
but it translated it into thingy's coz it thought I was using obscene language!
hah

::)angelvoice  i have not  heard radio caroline for years, must  try and tune their way again, bring back more memories,
had they any power play like radio luxy, eddy  ::)

Hi. Strange that it sees the 'male hen' word as unacceptable, yet it allows other words (which I won't repeat).... As for Radio Caroline, it went off air in 1968 (I think) for a long time. Because it was based out in the North Sea, the authorities had a problem trying to trace it. Eventually they did & the two ships were towed to Holland. All the D.J.'s moved on elsewhere - many to Radio Luxy or BBC. I believe that Caroline is onshore now but with lesser known jocks. How sad...but I read somewhere that Irish listeners can get it on channel 927. Give it a try eddy & let us know.

::) ::) ::) hi trisha, thanks for info, i checked out the caroline website,  most of the  djs  seem to be from the old school, like myself,  caroline can be got on sky radio or ntl  in parts of sunny ireland,   ::)::) ::) ::)
