Description
Radio Caroline: The Pirate Years tells the story of one of Britain's most infamous pirate radio stations. In 1964, a group of entrepreneurs took to the airwaves with a revolutionary new format, broadcasting music and news from a ship anchored off the coast of Falmouth.
The book explores the history of Radio Caroline, from its early days as a small-scale experiment to its rise as a major force in British popular culture. With meticulous research and a keen eye for detail, Ralph C. Humphries brings to life the people and events that shaped this pivotal moment in British broadcasting history.
Through exclusive interviews, rare photographs, and detailed accounts of the station's operations, Radio Caroline: The Pirate Years offers a fascinating insight into a bygone era of music, rebellion, and innovation.
