Change was afoot through the 90's where I found myself back on pirate radio for a time. Cutbacks on Shannonside FM meant I along with others were axed in 1990 due to financial constraints. So, I ended up in Monaghan broadcasting just across the border. Later in the decade I was working in Dublin and did some broadcasting for another pirate ABC radio, finally settling in Longford and rejoining Shannonside which by then had grown to a two station network that included Northern Sound FM. This might be described as a compilation of my ‘best bits’ from the decade thus serving as a retrospective of those years.1980’s - Radio RetrospectiveMichael Bermingham2026-03-04 | 1980’s Radio Retrospective - Michael Bermingham

Featuring promos, adverts, jingles, links, Phone-Ins, chart countdowns, guest presenters and news and using a variety of aliases – Osbourne, Leggett and eventually my own Bermingham. Includes the transition from pirate radio to legal, 1988 -1989. Listening back many years on there is a cringe factor to me about some things, but I have now understood this was who I was and how I was over these early years and as such is part of the tapestry of my broadcasting history. The broadcasting flavours, energy, enthusiasm and creativity are all there. My age range was 15 to 21.Eurovision 1987 - Johnny Logan Post Competition InterviewMichael Bermingham2025-09-14 | Saturday, May 9, 1987...from a VHS recording of RTE's Eurovision Song Contest broadcast.

It was written by Blanaid Irvine and Patrick Kirwan and adapted from the 1956 play The Big Birthday by Hugh Leonard. The film involves the efforts of a British television producer to create a documentary about the birthday of an Irish supercentenarian, but the cantankerous old man is unwilling to cooperate with him.

A long held bucket list item. It was a tandem dive but took so long on the day to train for I could have done a solo dive and been away in less time. I remember being tied so tight to my tandem buddy I was almost breathless for the entire thing. It was exhilarating but is over in a flash once you dive from the plane. Still, it's the closest you get to flying so I'm glad I did it.Mike Bermingham - Video Demo 1991Michael Bermingham2024-10-03 | Back in 1991 and 23 years old, I made a video demo for RTE on the changes to our weather. The video was recorded and produced by Fabian Murphy of @murphyvideos . We were both presenters on a border pirate called KLAS Radio at the time. Before smartphones and YouTube, this was made on a handheld video camera (like Marty in Back to the Future) and after editing transferred to VHS tapes for distribution by hand or post. Our climate is still of concern all these years later.Froinsias - The Young Lindsay SingersMichael Bermingham2024-07-14 | Froinsias by The Young Lindsay Singers is the B side to 'Is Mise an Tiarna'

Dog Rough Dan is a song that hasn't aged badly. In fact I could imagine #richiekavanagh doing a modern twist on it. It even sound like him in the chours. A good old fashioned hooley of a song - round the kitchen and mind the dresser!...
Song Title: Dog Rough Dan. Group: The Rafferty's Label: Release Records. Catalogue Number: RL1023 Year: 1980Olymberyl Aidan Riddler RepairMichael Bermingham2023-12-23 | The grate was falling down on one side and the riddler wouldn't work. I could see nothing in the Olymberyl stoves user manual to help. On the web I could only find spare parts for sale and some videos on general cleaning and maintenance, but nothing that could guide me. So, I had to figure it out for myself and wanted to pass on what I concluded and did.I hope it's of some use to somebody. The riddler bar knob at the front of the stove is connected to a rod. This rod is connected inside the stove to a flat bar on one end. The flat bar is connected to the riddler grate by a bolt and nut assembly on the other end. Mine was loose and there was no longer a tight fit meaning the rod and bar weren't able to push the riddler grate effectively. In my case the nut would only turn back and forth a little so I couldn't tighten it. After oiling it with WD40 and using a ratchet I was able to get it to tighten flush to the bar. The attached amateur video shows some of the process.
