Nostalgia at its best.Pirate stations of the 60s was my introduction to many genres of music ,especially soul ,motown and ska.What times!!
I'm so honoured to have received a personal message from Philip Birch a couple of years before he died. After Radio London, he went on to start & run Piccadilly Radio in Manchester.
Thanks to the pirates for all the 60s bands that we might never had heard.
Wow. So much footage !! Thank you.
Very interesting. Thank you for uploading this.
I used to love Radio England
Great time to be a teenager. The land based follow ons never quite captured the same spirit.
I was only 14 at the time but I loved Radio England while it lasted.
I’ve got tapes of those radio spots.
Well Done Lion for some good work on this priceless memory. bundle of memories.
Thanks for this great video, brings back great memories of SRE. Pity it had such a sort life.
If the DJ s on the off shore radio stations .in the middle 60s came ashore they would have been arrested .but now if your the right colour and in a rubber boat with no papers you will be welcomed with open arms .how times change .😱😱😱😱😱😵😵😵😵😵
Sad but very true. Thanks Caroline, London, SRE and all of the others, for the great music and memories. You have been missed.
Ridiculous comment. I hope you never have to leave your home & become a refugee.

That is just how it should be done today in 2020 .
Thanks for uploading this version. It's far superior in quality over other versions. I met Don Pierson years ago in Eastland Texas. He was a fascinating person and quite the radio visionary and between Big L and SRE he definitely left his mark on radio in the UK.

do you think pirate radio should be a thing again, or is its impact in radio and caroline enough.
The Marine Offences Bill secured the Tory vote in the following election. Millions of voters could not support Wedgewood-Benn or the Labour Government after taking away their stations. The Labour Government just couldn't stand any form of free enterprise or competition. The Tories got in & immediately formed commercial radio stations.
