On The Waterfront
‘On The Waterfront’ was an RTE music programme from 1992. It was produced by Frontier Films and consisted of 14 half-hour rock music shows shot at the Waterfront Cafe in Dublin. The series was presented by stars from Alan Parker’s film “The Commitments”. I had a bunch of episodes on VHS but unfortunately ‘lost’ the cassette. I do however still have a partial tracklisting which I am posting. I kick myself I didnt record more RTE music output from the 80s/90s and can only hope that others who did find the time and energy to share what they have. Consider this another possible project.. I will gratefully accept any DVDs you might have and can offer a swap with what I have managed to get my hands on.

Hi, I posted An Emotional Fish Live at the Opera House, Cork from 1991 on Youtube yesterday (30/12/12). You can find it under “An Emotional Fish Cork”. This was broadcast on RTE and as far as I can remember, they did a number of shows at the Opera House all recorded but this made the final cut. I also added a few “On the Waterfront” songs from The Frames, Engine Alley, An Emotional Fish, Montoya Sound, Sultans of Ping. I have The Stunning and a few others to post yet and also an acoustic Something Happens. R
