... the first song they ever played was Like Clockwork!


 


RTÉ 2fm pressed the big green button in May 1979 and the world has been a different place ever since! Way back then, it was RTÉ Radio 2, the original and the best, brought to life by a growing need from a younger generation of music fans. The new station took some tips - but just a few! - from the Big Book of Rules in RTÉ Radio 1. By the way, it took one or two of RTÉ Radio 1's top presenters as well - Larry Gogan, Vincent Hanley and Paschal Mooney. But pretty soon after Larry had played the station's very first piece of music - Like Clockwork by The Boomtown Rats - the new young guns of pop threw out the rules and, from then on, just made it up as they went along.
