This is a recording of Mike Ormonde and John McKenzie launching the Dublin youth pirate station Kiss 103 at 6pm on March 11th 1994.
It was made outside the station’s transmission area so unfortunately suffers from signal distortion but this is a priceless piece of Dublin radio history.
An airchecked version is also provided.
