Steve Conway is an Irish broadcaster and writer, formerly of the offshore pirate station Radio Caroline and most recently a presenter on the Dublin indie rock station Phantom 105.2.
Conway started his radio career on a small London rock-music pirate, South East Sound in 1985, before moving to Radio Caroline, where he rose to the positions of Head of News and Programme Controller (3). In 1991 he was one of the final crew on board the Caroline ship Ross Revenge when it ran aground on the Goodwin Sands (2). In 1999, he returned to help help relaunch Radio Caroline on satellite, moving home to Dublin and taking up a position on Phantom the following year.
In 2009 Liberties Press published Conway's memoir, Shiprocked: Life on the Waves with Radio Caroline. ISBN 978-1-905483-62-4 which details his involvement with Radio Caroline in its final years at sea (1987–91) and briefly covers the relaunch of the station on satellite in 1998/9.[1]
Steve has also had a short story "Old Haunts" published in a 2008 anthology of Irish writing, Census. ISBN 978-0955534676
