Free Radio Forum: Re: George Harrison, a friend of Ronan and a supporter of Radio Caroline

I used to get it but recently £40 surplus is not easy to lose in my finances not. It is a pity there is not a pdf option which is cheaper as the magazines pile up!

seems to be £40 a year, if the 2023 website not out of date, you get 4 printed mags plus password for site access
but you can still see quite a bit now without subs, RFB

How much is a subscription to Offshore Echos magazine?

Am on holiday at the moment but will look forward to reading that when I get back.

I wonder did “my friend George” have any input to the LA Band? Again popular legend?

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.
