Radio From the LV18
Did you know that Radio Mi Amigo became a 24/7 station from the LV18 studios on Christmas Eve 2023 so we’ll be marking our first anniversary during the festive season this year – and what a year it’s been!
Aside from that, we will be broadcasting a number of special shows during the Christmas and New Year period with some guest presenters.
Don’t forget we are live from the LV18 20-23 December with our Radio London event!
Watch this space for more details!
2024 has been a multi-anniversary. 60 years since the start of British offshore radio, 50 years since the loss of the Benelux offshore stations. It also happens to be 50 years since the Caroline Stonehenge festival, and the year I said finally farewell to the dear old Mi Amigo for the last time, after an eventful two years. Thus it is a significant anniversary for me too.
I am producing a special three hour program to mark the occasion. Likely the last program I shall ever make. It traces the early years, the influence of American radio on European radio especially through the ‘pirates’, with particular focus on 1964-1974, and of course my time which I know about the best.
I have called it “Radio Radio – A Personal Retrospective” it features the sounds and music of a golden age. Including the voices of Tony Allen, Chris Cary, Andy Archer, Robin Adcroft, Mike Hagler & Brian Anderson. Jingles galore of course.
It will be broadcast by Radio Mi Amigo on Boxing Day 26th December 0900-1200 repeated 2100-2400 GMT/UTC. This is a shared broadcast with Radio Seagull.
I will play a guitar montage during the show, at 1030 & 2230. You can replay this montage below.
I shall provide the answers here on December 31st.
