My history and the birth of my radio station Arctic 252 is a direct influence of Caroline and others. Radio is so important.

Great work guys

Caroline is an institution, that gave birth to Independent radio. She does not get the credit she deserves, in changing radio. I discovered her in the 80's through LASER 558. I have been hooked ever since, let's help preserve the ROSS, she will always be the spirit of Radio Caroline, and deserves some TLC. So we can enjoy all the broadcasts from her. :)

Steely Dan? You are a bit off.I am a big fan, but this does not go at all. 1800 records. You have more and always come to me with this bad musician?Dan Fogelberg? Harry Nilsson?

I am saddened to learn that Dave passed away last week. I used to listen to his shows each weekend. R.I.P. Dave.

Without a shadow of a doubt the best radio station available, new music, old favourites and all the stuff in between, however, not perfect. I personally get fed up of all the 'vinyl' propaganda, nobody cares what 'medium' the music is played on, its the music that matters, not cd, or vinyl, or digital.

Ding ding!

I first became aware of Midge when Sleepwalk appeared on TOTP, back in the day. A couple of times back then, there’d be what felt like seismic presentations of sound and vision on TOTP of something truly awesome,innovative, inspiring, and you just knew it was a major signpost for the future of what kind of music you wanted to hear more of. ABBA did it in ‘77 for me, I heard song structures which were perfection, and of course the four looked fab too. Then punk came along and hearing the likes of Sham 69, Pistols, Ruts, angelic upstarts, the damned, buzzcocks, generation x, x ray spex, and many more, woke me up at the kids disco for 10 y o’s to what music could sound like when it’s defiant, edgy, shouty, yet fun (doing the pogo to it all). Then along came Tubeway Army, with Are Friends Electric, on TOTP for the first time, it was like the aliens had landed, but in the best way. Not meaning Numan looked alien, far from it, just that it was so different, stunning, this wall of sound synths sound, it blew the world of music wide open again for me, to what was possible. I think that was more or less the last time I was so amazed, until both John Foxx with Underpass, and seemingly simultaneously Ultravox with Sleepwalk and the Vienna album, both paved the way for sounds I’d love for ever more, and for artists I’d stick with forever, since. As we heard on the interview here, Midge and Chris and Warren and Billy went on to make masterpiece after masterpiece. I love all the albums, included the oft maligned pink thing, and also Brilliant, which was as much as was possible to meet its name, at that point in the game. And of course, once we knew Midge during Ultravox’s arrival, it was time to find out more, what else could we hear, tracking back, that we’d missed? Silk I sourced the two hit singles on vinyl straight away and liked them. Heard about the Thin Lizzy US tour, which of course we couldn’t relive. But Visage was something new and different again, and rather wonderful. The Midge with a superb solo single, No Regrets. A few years later and we’d had the sublime The Gift solo album, and a No1 single with If I Was. And of course Yellow Pearl, which it was great to hear today how Billy was on the record? And Rusty too? Before Phil Collins did his thing over it. Probably around that time I discovered in retrospect the Rich Kids album. It’s then that you realise just how many different projects Midge has had chart success with! Also a single with Mick Karn got into the Top 40, after a fashion. Pity no album ensued. Midge did a few songs with Japan minus Sylvian, which turned up on the Little Orphans compilation album of Midges odds and ends of unreleased material, much of which was really good. More solo albums followed, to varying degrees of commercial success, and now of course we are in an era where most artists realise to make any money and also delight fans, it’s all about gigs these days. There’s nothing to be earned writing and releasing albums now. So, once again, I look forward to seeing and hearing Midge, this time in Manchester in December. My royal box seat is booked 😂 I leave the dancing and singing to those that have those skills, I’ll sit and study every single moment, every single note, every movement, and I won’t move until it’s time to applaud the end of every single song. Keep well Midge.

Midge Ure is such a fantastic songwriter. I recently realized what a great track One is from the Brilliant album as well as Breath from one of his solo albums. So many great Ultravox songs, The thin wall being an all time favorite, obviously he's not the sole writer but still.

I happily contribute monthly, it may not be a lot but it all helps.

Erudite gent. Marvellous accent...the lyrical Lynott really to seemed admire his dynamism. Such a various career...

James/Midge is one of my inspritations, not gonna post a link to my stuff, becuase UA-cam doesn't have freedom of speech anymore. He is a legend. Bob did the talking and celebrity wrangling, but Midge made it happen. Teamwork. We all need to work together to produce something good. ❤&✌‍

I was, and still am, a huge fan of Midge and Ultravox. Such a stellar career.

My older brother used to model himself on Midge and lip sync to Ultravox songs. He even grew the pencil thin moustache 😂 I was a tiddler at the time, but being down an Ultravox and Midge Ure rabbit hole at the moment just loving hearing it all again. And the videos are just like mini films. Epic! Midge still looks and sounds great, an incredibly talented man. Thanks for the interview 🌟

Where can we get the T shirts

It's a pity they took down the masts that the DJs built at sea and replaced it with that bad tiny mock up of the original mast, it looks crap

Becky was a great DJ on Vibe FM before she went into Anglia TV news

My home.

I m sure Air were influenced by OMD too. They mentioned "DaZZLE sHIPS" as an influence.

He done that "Spin" in Belfast Springsteen Boucher Concert 2024 Happy to be there Love estreet Brucie ,crazy horse,nils loughrin....God Bless .❤

The Rainbow Warrior of rock and roll! I want to go for a tour of this amazing ship before I pop orf. #LovingAwareness #RadioCaroline #SixFourEight

Great story, a pity that the bell tilts the wrong way though.

Great interview, well done by the interviewer. I love Andy and OMD, and not a Trump fanboy, but as an American, he never silenced any voices as much as the current administration does. I’m not overtly political, but I believe in art and freedom of expression. (Like Andy) but America is more censored now than ever.

They definitely kick ass live, as good now as they were in the early years 😂❤️

Fantastic video thanks for sharing it with us

Happy birthday radio Caroline

#Nice pirate radio is back

tuned in from bitburg ab in the mid sixties

In the mid sixties, you were the only Radio Station on my six transistor radio. Know your theme, 'Radio Caroline' almost word for word, and your close down was 'Summertime' possibly by Booker T and the MG's. Oh such a lifetime ago. Thank you for being there, then, and now. Bless.

You should have seen him back in the 1970's when his band 'Grin' practiced in the gym of his high school alma mater (Walter Johnson/Bethesda, Maryland). He was also a gymnast and used a mini-trampoline to do a flip, while playing guitar. As juniors, we had never seen anything like it. Those were the days . . . and, we are still proud of his success, then and now.

Nils is such a generous genuine human being, I've seen him many times in the UK with Bruce and TESB but also in Harrogate after a solo concert. He stayed behind after the show to meet n greet the fans, we waited our turn and was blessed with a few minutes and photos. Keep on Rocking Nils. See you soon in Cardiff

My favorit station <3

I purchased February edition in a shop after hearing an ad on Caroline and liked it,so this morning I subscribed for 12 months, now it will come through the door handy as I'm disabled.cheers josh.

You can see the bloomin oranges

Be nice to see a view more of these cooking onboard Caroline.

Great fun Dave, now let’s see how you manage in a force 8 gale😉. Lovely to peep behind the scenes. Let’s have more of the presenters taking us round please.

Then they went to india and started buying and picking their own clothes (After sgt pepper they expressed themselves 😂) and threw away the smartness that didnt match their personalities

I was about 13, we had just moved, I had no friends, but I did have a FM/MW radio and found Caroline. Among the incredible music I heard there, such as Rick's. Great to see him here.

Terrible sound

A very interesting and nostalgic presentation which I really enjoyed! I grew up with train spotting and Radio Caroline and the those days are top of my treasured memories of the 1960s. Thank you for your time in producing and sharing this. Vic

Camera much too far away

Nice!

I was involved in the late 70’s with supplying essentials and also servicing the Mi Amigos inflatable and outboard motor before she sank in 1980. Because of the Marine offences broadcasting bill introduced by the Labour Government some of the suppliers were put off supplying due to the 2 year prison sentence if caught. It was definately cloak and dagger stuff when making the 30 mile trip from Southend to the ships location off Margate. I loved it however because of my teen years in the 60’s growing up with Caroline. Great days indeed!

I came along for a tour while RR was moored at the end of Southend pier years ago love to come out again for another look around do you still broadcast from the vessel on a m take it easy

What's the recipe today, Dave?!!! (Gotta be old to get that). Marvellous. I laughed out loud. Go on Foster! His name is on the toaster. Keep up the good work mate, and for a long time to come yet x

Love this, Josh and Dave, very well made (both the dish and the video!) and that curry looked delish! 10/10

Can't beat a good curry, and that looked really scrummy, nice to see what happens behind the scenes. Last year we started making the "North" weekends into a bit of an event, invite some fellow listeners over, and this weekend we'll be having curry too.

It's Foster his name is on the Kitchen roster.

Y U M !

Yummy doesn't look enough for everyone, looks good though.
