Just a few bits and pieces added March 2005........ I will add more when I have the time.....
Here are 2 examples of some 'Instructions' I received from Head Office!
When I left Radio Caroline I lived in the Hague for 3 months getting stoned and eating cheese rolls.
AMAZINGLY myself and Norman Barrington were the only ones on board in 1974 who could - or could be bothered to - EDIT!!!
We were the only ones who recorded and saved material.
We recorded a documentary LP about our time on board and when I returned home at the end of 1974 I sent a letter to everyone who had ever written to me asking if people would like to buy it!
I still have a big bag of those fan letters today!
I also have a collection of studio quality recordings made during my time on board the Mi Amigo including the master of the FIRST "LA" promos,
EXTRA BITS AND PIECES.......
The summer of 1970 was almost as amazing as the summer of 1967.......
Its a long story - which I will go into at some point in the future - but TENS OF THOUSANDS of these leaflets were circulated around the south of England in the early summer of 1970!
Another long story.......
As a VERY naive 18 year old I saw an advertisement in Disc And Music Echo saying that DJ's were wanted for a new Pirate Radio station.
I sent off a tape and 3 days later received a reverse charge phone call from the Programme Controller CRISPIAN St JOHN offering me a job.
The station was a figment of his imagination but through meeting him my crazy career in Radio began.....
