I am 10 again! Sitting then in Mossley County Antrim waiting for the programmes to come on. What a memory! What a tune, after the first few notes I could hum the whole piece. Now all we need is the schools programmes idents and clock from UTV in the early 1970s...

Wow thanks. I've been looking for this piece of music for years. Part of the soundtrack of every 1970s NI childhood. I had always thought of it as "the scottish tune that played during IBA transmitter information" but it's actually called "The Antrim Rd" ...too cool.

The tune was written in 1968. It was last used in 1987. It's by far the best piece of music used for the old ITA startups. I wonder who the announcer is? I remember the old blue card startups well.

Thank you so much! Like a lot of the other people who have commented I've had this tune in my head since childhood and felt a strange sense of loss that I didn't know what it was called or how to find it. I could remember different parts of it but if you had asked me I'd probably have though they came from several different test card tunes. I always imagined it was probably by Havelock Nelson, or at least arranged by him. How did you find this? You must have it on CD or something? It's so funny to discover it's called The Antrim Road! Now, I have a feeling there were other, similar test card tunes from the 60s or 70s, from either UTV or BBC Northern Ireland, and that if I could now get this one out of my head (again!) I could think of some of them...

Did the music really end with that rather dischordant chord and the logo? And was the verbal intro at the end or the start or somewhere in the middle?
