Hi Bob,

Hadn't heard the Radio Nova jingles 53 and 54 for many many years. They were produced by Steve England & Terry Davies in 1979 for our station Radio Nova International at Ventimiglia (Italy, just on the border with France) There is also a Dutch language version of this jingle. The quality of the French jingle is superb, one would never know the lines are sung by English lads who
at the time didn't speak any French. We sent them a tape with the French text repeating every word & every part of the sentence many & the result was absolutely perfect.

When I was in Dublin in the early 80's getting offshore Radio Paradijs ready on the Liffey, Chris was also setting up a station in Ireland. He didn't have a name yet & no jingles... so our jingles made all the difference... Cheers
