couldn't have been 'cause i remember watching it as a nipper. Cannonball was c.1996 but didn't no disco start in 92/93 when they showed nothing but acoustic sets from the frames?

 

[DontMugYourself]

Just to be a geek. The Breeders Cannonball/last splash was released in 1993.

More Importantly though, who is going to persue the RTE thing with all the signatures on the petition? i.e who is going to submit them and champion the cause??

Is it you Dudley??

 

[Yurn!]

Don't go. Please...don't go.

in my inbocks this morning.

RTE has received many representations about the future of "No Disco" - all
in favour of its retention! All emails are being forwarded to the Director
of Television.

Yours sincerely

No Disco - Network 2 - 12.25

Why is this always annouced at 6.15 after I left the office?!?

So, I missed it even this time...

 

[the pope]

despite leagues being wooden and having baby teeth (joke!) it'd be terrible if this ended.

although it would be worse if they did another series and tried to make it more 'accessable'......

The License Fee = Alms For An Aging Syphillitic

RTE has an extraordinary record in this department. Taping over vintage "Wanderly Wagon" episodes, pulling "It's Not The Answer" (without explanation and despite e-mails of enquiry), failing to spot the potential of "Father Ted" before it was offered to Channel 4... It's a history of failure, lost opportunity and a near syphillitic lack of vision.

Everybody should refuse to pay the license fee. Some day, a person properly equipped will challenge its legality in the courts, chiefly by reference to the poor quality of RTE's programming. Then a heavy spade will come down on the organisation's hardened topsoil and break things up a bit.

Ah...you broken promises, you shattered dreams, you bright hopes pulled like so many independent music programmes and dashed against the wall of callous commerce...

Pantone, you are the RTE of Human Charity.

....O.k I'm not maybe gonna be popular on this one but it's just a thought. No disco is great, and R.T.E. have the worst programming ethos ever..but...."indie" music programs on irish tele have come and gone down through the years in loads of incarnations..when no disco goes...there will be a void but that void may just get filled by something that is even better and on at an earlier time..look at old grey whistle test..which kinda got replaced by the tube(I know they were on different stations..but has anyone thought of selling a show like no disco to tv3, tg4) they seem to be only too delighted to pick up the ball when R.T.E. drop it..so maybe we won't be to long without the visual side of artists playing in Ireland for too long. No disco R.I.P.

 

[Thayl]

Yeah sell it to TG4.

"Níl Disco".
