Tony on top form - on Sounds the programme cuts off just before the end . Wonder if the guys will get out to the Ross Revenge with this gale blowing ? Hope so . Kev  Previous MessageTony Blackburn took over the Zoe Ball breakfast show on Radio 2 this morning, played Caroline by The Fortunes and said he'd locked all the doors. Said he'd been planning with Johnnie Walker but he'd overslept, announced as Pirate Radio 2. Only just heard about it on Twitter, now on BBC Sounds 49 minutes, listening to it now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001yb57 Previous MessageJust posted on Facebook: Original Radio Caroline DJ and newsreader Nick Bailey will be heading out to the Ross Revenge this Good Friday, to share some of his memories with north-sea veteran Chris Pearson on Radio Caroline North. Nick spent his time in the sixties aboard the MV Fredericia (later renamed the ‘Caroline’), off the coast of Ramsey on the Isle of Man. He later went on to a career with BFBS Forces Radio and Classic FM. Nick says, “I can’t wait to get back, it’s been nearly sixty years!” He started his time with Caroline on the MV Mi Amigo, before heading north. Nick will join Chris live on-air from 1pm Friday.

If not, I wonder if the 60 Years of Radio Caroline Parts 1, 2, and 3 will become available from the Caroline podcast site?

Obviously I was aware that Walker and Blackburn weren’t coming but I had hoped for some surprises, I think also I was expecting special programs on the main channel and Flashback, the 60th celebration isn’t even mentioned on the Flashback site. Previous MessageIn what sense "Underwhelming" Condor? Were you expecting Walker or Blackburn to do programmes? What would you suggest any different? Cheers. Previous MessageDetails are now on the website but I must admit they seem a little underwhelming, and also seem restricted to just Caroline North, unless I’m missing something! Previous MessageThe most important thing for me, is that Caroline still exists after 60 years - the dedicated people running it, do it for their love of it - not for money. Some people have written books about their time with offshore radio - they probably see this as an opportunity to sell some more copies of their books Previous MessageQuite ironic that there are loads of mentions for Boom Radio and the BBC, but nothing about what Caroline are doing. Says a lot! Previous MessageRadio London website now has a webpage on events/broadcasts over Easter celebrating the 60th anniversary of Radio Caroline's first broadcast. https://www.radiolondon.co.uk/kneesflashes/happenings/2012julyon/caroline60.html Full Radio Caroline press release on their 60th anniversary broadcast from the Ross Revenge Good Friday to Easter Sunday has been posted on the National Historic Ships UK website. https://www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk/news/nhs/ross-revenge-host-radio-caroline-anniversary-broadcast-easter |
