1967 was a CRAZY year in broadcasting. We lost too many pirate radio stations due to some unjustified law. Over here in America, two months prior to Radio London's shutdown, KBLA - Los Angeles pop station at the time - reformated and changed its call letters. They went out just as diligently as Big L did 🫡

I have all the Jingles on CD. There great to hear after all these years.

Great to hear this but the ship at the beginning of the film is the Queen Fredericia (Caroline North). Johnnie Walker was never on this ship but was on the Mi Amigo (Caroline South.) Queen Fredericia was anchored off the Isle of Man amd Mi Amigo was anchored off the Essex coast.

Who perhaps still knows the former theme tune of Radio Veronica, which was broadcast in the early 70s shortly before 6 a.m.? ... and also sang "Here are Veronica" or something similar. I would be extremely grateful for any information on this!

You used to be able to pick up Laser at one end of the radio dial and Radio Caroline at the other 🎶📻

Veronica, Veronica, Veronica. She thrived with Radio Mercur, one of the earliest pirates(6 years before Caroline), and became the Radio Caroline of the Netherlands, only to end up perishing in the Dutch equivalent of the August 1967 Pirate Radio Incident... ...Pirate Radio never ceases to amaze me.

He was Mr 1960s.

Rohnan O' Rihley was quit a passionate person especially when it came to the music he promoted selling records and filling concert halls in the UK and here across the pond in the US. RIP Rohnan radio name Simon Dee 1940 - 20 April 2020

Johnnie Walker was named after a popular brand of whisky. Mind you, the man who founded the whisky company was John Walker.

Please come back

Fluff, you legend.

Veronica blijft als U dat wilt. We wilden idd allemaal dat Veronica bleef, maar de heren politiekers toendertijd wisten het ook alweer beter...... Vooral niet luisteren naar de mensen en de jeugd, liever met hun eigen persoontje, dat o zo belangrijk is, bezig zijn. Wat deden de zeezenders verkeerd. Niets. Maar de reclame-inkomsten moesten naar de STER en dank zij het verdrag van Straatsburg, konden zij hiervan dankbaar gebruik maken om de zeezenders het zwijgen op te leggen. Onze generatie (°1955) vergeet gelukkig de mooie jaren niet die Veronica (en anderen, maar toch vooral Veronica) ons gegeven hebbben. Na al die jaren is er nog steeds niets veranderd. Politiekers zijn en blijven een bende navelstaarders, die van een gigantische incompetentie getuigen en nog steeds met hun eigen carriere bezig zijn en het vooral leuk vinden om met modder naar elkaar te gooien en zeker en vooral de belangrijke punten in de maatschappij uit het oog verliezen. Veel leuteren en zwetsen, dat wel, maar zaken realiseren.......

That's why JW is the best he gave up.his liberty for his principles

51 years ago almost to the second now, at 2355 August 14th 2018 we all remember where we listened to this. Nostalgia indeed.... I listen to this under the bedclothes on holiday in a caravan park in Great Yarmouth when I was 15. Really takes me back like nothing else does ....

De overheid is de grootste bedrieger, als je ze in de weg zit, wordt je gewoon het zwijgen opgelegd. Veronica, Fortuyn, wie volgt? I

basted harold wilson and a jealous bbc saw them off best radio stations ever along with the big L and look at the crap we have now, listen to any commercial radio station today and you wont be able to tell them apart

Now that music is all digital, lots more

And overcome ,radio Caroline certainly did and is still doing at 53 years young not old.

A crime to close it down. The Best Radio Station Britain Ever Had !!

John Good radio station miss it

Soms? Als ik weer de tune's hoor van Radio Veronica hou ik het weer niet droog

Nothing ever came close to the excitement of Laser on the radio and when it closed for good a period of my life closed with it. Long live Laser

a ciggie BANNED,offshore radio BANNED,AND NOW NO RADIOS AT WORK,progress i dont think so

Oh dear... Well, I was 14 in 1967.. We were holidaying in Devon. I listened to Big L non-stop all the way down - knowing I wouldn't be doing it on the way back. Then that awful day. . It was raining, so my Mum, Dad, my brother & I all stayed in & listened to that final day. And then that moment came. . . . 3 o'clock. . . Tears welled-up - just as they are now as I'm typing this at 62yrs old. . . No generation below me could ever understand the passion for a Radio station that we had - still have. And it was my first exposure to politics - I vowed never to vote Labour . I joined the Free Radio Association - I still have the stickers & posters. At school hundreds of us had the FRA badge - which we had to wear under our lapel where it wouldn't be on show - but every now & then we'd flip the lapel to a fellow protester. I have several memorabilia - the disc, the 8mm film&disc and, more recently, cds & DVDs. Alas, the next 10 years will have a devastating effect on that generation of DJs & men like Philip Birch who created our Wonderful Radio London. And after my generation ... what then? . . The memories will die with us. Like the loss of a close friend or pet, it still affects me very deeply.

Just come across this item. I was always listening to Lazer. Best pirate ship going. We should have more of these ships, better than some radio stations we hear today Arthur Gray Isleworth Middlesex

Poignant testimony ... You loved us ... and we still love you !

London was the background to my early teanage years. I remember exactly where I was when it closed down. I joined the "fight for free Radio" organisation, and as a result in June 71 went on my only ever Demo (with a theme tune based on the music of Dads Army) Simon Dee was running up and down the column of marchers which made us feel good. I refused to listen to Radio 1 for donkeys years on principle. Some years later on a R1 gig I was working on I expressed my concerns to the R1 DJs, a number of whom were of course ex Pirates and they reassured me saying - 'we don't blame you' Without London & Caroline I would never have been exposed to all that new music - which ended up giving me a career in it for the past 40 years. (I'm not a DJ!). How times have changed!!

Discovered it after Caroline closed in March 1968, a great station.

ze waren geweldig zoals ik al die tijd ze gekend heb bedankt veronica

the stars of the day loved the offshore radio stations..GOVERNMENTS NEVER LISTEN..AND NEVER WILL....stupid laws..nothing swinging anymore

Uitstekende zender!

jammer was wel een zeer mooie tijd.

Me tooo, great times at night, in Switzerland !!!!! Agree 100% !!!

My happiness was short lived as all that wonderful crystal clear music was coming into Lancaster 24/7 An evil that thinks that it is good put a loud jamming signal over the music I am diverstated jamming my fathers pop ship & their still doing it blocking this for death.

In the middle of the 60', I received Veronica in the suburb of Paris (France), at night. I swapped between Veronica, radio london and Caroline, great moments of music, nothing like that on french radios

fantastic memories radio has never been the same since

Ook ooit een keer meegemaakt dat ze de studio compleet leeghaalde

Why did they show Caroline North when he was on Caroline South?

i listened to this station in the 80's . it was a 'cool'station.

yes there is go on rensmass.eu i think it is the full raid is on there i have loads on vhs my dad was into it

THIS VID AND SONG STILL HURTS, EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.

STAY WITH ME BABY!!!!!

proper radio...i bought the dateline diamonds movie...FANTASTIC

what a sad movie to see, are there more movies from the raid?? And also movies from female dj Caroline Martin left on youtube?

this is so yesterday..THE BEST DAYS..damn shit radio today

We never saw their like before and we have never seen their like since. I consider myself very privileged indeed to have lived through it and to have heard the best radio the UK has ever had. Shame on wilson's labour governemnt for destroying something so uniquely wonderful and ruining my remaining teenage years by taking away my friends the Pirates. I was devastated when the pirates left us and have never got over it, I doubt at this stage that I ever will.

JOHNNIE WALKER FOR A SIR...a true legend..
