Bedsit Ballads

Listeners are invited to nominate the song or album they will always associate with those first months of freedom, having left home.

What was the record or cassette that you played to death when you swapped home for apartment life, student accommodation or a squat?

We've already had Neil Young bring back memories of college days spent in a student flat on Leinster Road in Rathmines, The Springfields were nominated by another listener who will always associate them with his first year at sea with the Irish Navy in the 60's when he was just 17.

There are many more so please feel free to nominate your bedsit ballad by sending a few paragraphs about the song, the times and the people you associate with your first taste of freedom to creedon@rte.ie
