A Real Ireland postcard from the 1980s features a woman with a seagull perched on top of her head! To the visitors who sent this card to places all over the world this woman was known as ‘The Bird Lady of Bray’. However, to the people of Bray and the listeners to East Coast FM, she was simply, ‘Aunty’ Ethel, a much-loved and slightly eccentric character, fond of ‘a drop of the cratur’ and who occasionally cropped up on air to share her amusing stories. Following Ethel’s death in 2015, social media sites were swamped with affectionate tributes to Ethel - one of the last of Bray’s iconic characters. But who really was Aunty Ethel? And how did she come to be East Coast’s ‘unofficial tea lady’? Radio producer Pat Hannon recorded a private interview in 1999 that he did with Ethel and her only sister Maura (it was Maura’s only trip back to Bray since she left for America in the 1950s and Maura was taken aback reports of Ethel’s drinking). Interviews with past presenters of BLB and present presenters of East Coast FM were then recorded and compiled to craft an innovative and quality feature which tells Ethel’s story and which also captures the unique easy-going family atmosphere of East Coast which gave Ethel a sense of belonging and an escape from the loneliness of old age from a cold damp flat. This programme ensures that Ethel’s story and moreover, her voice - the ordinary voice of a much-loved local character - is celebrated and remembered. It continues to gather listeners from around the globe on Soundcloud.

One Mile Long - Bray Seafront Remembered (Episode 2). In this final episode we hear about the fall of the lighthouse during a storm; the passenger, rowing and peddle boats for hire. A couple who've returned from Israel for a visit - their first since their honeymoon. We find out about the chair lifts to the Eagles Nest and the reasons why Bray as a resort declined in the 1970s. This programme was made in 2008 - the start of the fall of the 'Celtic Tiger' and a protracted decade of recession and austerity - however, since then, the resort has undergone a transformation in terms of the different types of attractions that now attract visitors. The Cliff Walk is becoming ever more popular and is recognised as being one of the best coastal walks in Britain and Ireland. Perhaps this should be the starting point for an up-to-date programme to feature and reflect a new generation of locals and visitors. In any event, One Mile Lone - Bray Seafront Remembered captured the voices of a passing generation and this episode featured: Kevin Mead, Jimmy Mohan, Dave Hannon, John Walsh, Kathleen Kinsella, Nancy Mahony, Brendan Coleman, Desmond Hedley-Wright and Historian Mary Davies. One Mile Long- Bray Seafront Remembered. A 21st-Century Vox production. Produced by Pat Hannon for East Coast FM.

One Mile Long - Bray Seafront Remembered. Revisiting the post-war halcyon days of Bray’s seafront; a time when thousands of Irish and British holiday-makers along with Dublin day-drippers strolled the Promenade and thronged its once sandy beaches. Stories from those who came, those who worked and those who grew up there. Time was when visitors who had just arrived on spec and late at night had to sleep in one of the town's three cinemas which were kept open overnight to cope with the influx. Next morning they would search the many guesthouses and housing estates for accommodation. The hotels and guesthouses suffered in the years prior to the World War II and then after cross was put up on Bray Head, the resort itself underwent a sort of resurrection in the 1950s. Visitors from many towns of industrial Britain enjoyed the large ratio-free portions on offer. The clean air and the mile long prom were instant attractions. The cross on Bray Head and the chair lift to the Eagles Nest drew the more curious and adventurous visitors. In the days before health and safety, scores of rowing and paddle boats were available for hourly hire. Trays of hot water and tea could be carried back to the brightly striped deck chairs which festooned the green grass. Relive and share the memories of these long summer days before the Internet, mobile phones, colour TVs and before the advent of 'foreign' continental travel by aeroplane! This programme is a revised and updated programme compiled from the original two part series 2008 production. One Mile Long- Bray Seafront Remembered. A 21st-Century Vox production.
