What a year! Retreating back into 2023 briefly: We had been able to refit our studio in mid to late 2023 and this persuaded the team that a 24/7 online radio station was viable. That launched with a live event at Christmas 2023. Just two months later an arson attack on the LV18 caused havoc and our fledgling station was […]
Review of 2024
Before Offshore
Steve Jenner starts a new series on Feb 24th looking at the UK music scene before the offshore pirates started broadcasting. The only ‘popular’ radio outlet in the UK until early 1964 was the Light Programme and it wasn’t known for pop music! Mondays at 7pm (repeated at 1am on Tuesday) There’s a second chance to hear it on Wednesday […]

The New Releases show is at 7pm GMT Sunday, repeated at 1am GMT on Monday. At 8pm Ian Chambers kicks off a new series of Album Years, playing obscure and forgotten album […]
Chris Morgan
My interest in radio began when I was standing in the desert with Lawrence during WW1 and saying that it would be pleasant to listen to the radio. He pointed out that it hadn’t been invented yet so I had to wait for the Roaring Twenties. However at that time in order to listen you were required to wear a […]
Neon Nancy
Neon Nancy moved to England from Georgia in the USA in 1998 after meeting a fantastic guy from Billericay in a Yahoo chatroom. They are still married to this day. Nancy had a variety of jobs through the years from being a lifeguard to doing typesetting and layout. She owned a neon sign shop for many years and “Neon Nancy” […]
Duke Anthony
Duke Anthony adopted his (non-hereditary) title in 1969 after listening to DJs such as Emperor Rosko, Tony Prince and Earl Richmond. Radio broadcasting was still a long way off for The Duke but he embarked on a long succession of mobile discotheque engagements over the next six decades. Having grown up listening to the pirates in the sixties it was […]

Paul Windsor
Paul said: “My earliest memories of radio was wondering how on earth they got all those singers and announcers (DJ’s hadn’t been invented back then) in that little square box. Come on, don’t mock. I was only knee high to an Elizabethan Tape Recorder! I began to get suspicious of the radio’s inhabitants when the musicians appeared never to miss […]
Pete Nightingale
Pete said: “I have been a DJ and Radio Presenter since the 1960s, beginning my career with land-based pirate radio stations and performing in disco clubs around London. Throughout the 1970s, I continued to work in disco clubs and took on agent roles for various outside broadcasts for radio stations. During this period, I also dedicated four years to Hospital […]

After honing his skills at various pubs and clubs as a mobile DJ, he seized a golden opportunity and made the most of it. Following a successful two-year stint at the Genevies/Mona […]
