These videos make 2fm's Beat on the Street look like the most fun ever

Can’t we go back to those halcyon days?

ONCE UPON A time in Ireland, life didn’t get any more glamourous or exciting than 2fm’s Beat on the Street.

These live events took place throughout Ireland in the 90s, giving the nation the opportunity to see live music as well as their favourite radio DJs.

That might sound like something you’d sniff at now, but in those days of only a few stations and no internet, DJs were superstars.

Come and join us as we take a stroll down memory lane, and remember these beautiful moments…

Maybe if you were actually there it would have looked more convincing.  The crowd were certainly having a ball, anyway.
