BLB Sounds From The Past
This series takes listeners through the incredible history of a community radio station formerly based in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland which was launched in 1979. The station began as a pirate radio operation, challenging conventional broadcasting norms and setting the stage for global innovation in community radio. The series, told from the perspective of one of its founders, Mark Quinn, provides a deeply personal account of the station’s journey and its profound impact on everyone who was in its orbit.

From Saturday 13th Oct 1990 and the studios of Horizon Radio, Bray, County Wicklow in Ireland. In the studio chairs either side of host Mark Quinn are two men who, in their own unique ways, became guardians of Ireland’s natural world.
John Wilson and Éamon de Buitléar. John the trusted Bray vet from the Dublin Road. The man who co-founded Brayvet and to some degree, changed the face of animal care in the town and Éamon de Buitléar, the legendary filmmaker and naturalist who grew up in the Dargle Valley in Bray and who had already spent decades bringing the "magic of the wild" into Irish living rooms with TV programmes like 'Amuigh Faoin Spéir’.
In this interview, recorded live on air, both men are in great form chatting away freely about growing up, animal care, wildlife and life in general.
