Dan Joe Kelleher Remembered on RTÉ Radio on Sat. 1st Nov. 2025

We thank RTÉ’s Ronan Kelly for alerting us to the fact that on this Sat., 1st Nov. 2025 at 1.55pm a clip of his superb Doc on One Radio Documentary “Dan Joe’s TV Station” which Ronan arranged to first broadcast in 2006, will be broadcast on RTÉ Radio One.   The full Documentary may be accessed here.   When Ronan was informed of Dan Joe’s recent departure to his Eternal Reward he referred to the late Dan Joe as “A True Documentarian”.   God rest the great Dan Joe of Carriganima whose legacy of video and audio archives over some four decades is phenomenally inspiring.  Tap on the images below to enlarge.  (S.R.)

Dan Joe Kelleher and the incredible TV station he set up in 1980s’ Co Cork

The rooms of LTV’s Dan Joe Kelleher home in Carriganima are a floor-to-ceiling walk-in library bursting with VHS tapes and DVDs of concerts and community commemorations. We are lucky to have his foresight to record  and store a snapshot of our local area for posterity.

In an article in today’s Irish Examiner, he is interviewed on how he started, how he built it up, and how changing formats of media worried him that his archive was becoming obsolete, and how he has for some time been committing his vast archive of recordings  to the internet for an invaluable record of the era from the 1970s to present day.
