Easter 2024 Schedule
Christmas 2023 Launch
Our launch weekend (Christmas 2023) is now over but we continue to broadcast via our stream 24/7 with a mix of pre-recorded original programming from a large number of DJs.

Winter projects 2019 part 1
Now that the LV18 is back in Harwich Harbour, we are subject to the usual ravages of the tides, wind and inclement temperatures. So, on any particular day all is fine, the next maybe not so. In the winter the not-so’s easily outweigh the fine days! However, we’re a hardy bunch of volunteers so a little sea motion won’t necessarily […]

September update
It’s been a little busy on the ship since the BBC dismantled their studio and the media left town! In fact, it was only a few days ago that a few of us sat down to discuss what we do next! Firstly, we have recommenced streaming and three shows from 2017’s Mi Amigo broadcast are playing right now: Sietse Brouwer […]
