In the music magzine Disc in August 1966 George Harrison spoke about the offshore radio stations saying that “They should leave the pirates alone. At least they’ve had a go, which is more than the BBC has done”.

Roll on to 1973 and rumours were circulating that George Harrison had financed the return of the Mi Amigo, but some thought that to be just other offshore myth. Like is often the case the story was somewhere in between.

Now George’s widow Olivia Harrison reveals the consequences of George’s donation to his friend Ronan in a really interesting one-page article in the current issue Offshore Echos (No 217).

I won’t reveal more because those interested in the offshore era should be supporting Offshore Echos by taking a subscription.
