History

John Breslin did his first pre-recorded radio programme for a Scottish shortwave station called WLR in 1988. Entitled "Irish Update", the programme was a mix of music and details on the latest happenings in the active Irish pirate radio scene at the time.

He followed this up with two more programmes for Irish shortwave station Westside Radio International, transmitting from Dublin in the same year. He recorded a number of music shows for another Irish shortwave station located near Waterford, Jolly Roger Radio, under the name .
