Radio Caroline-Voice on the Air released

 


New Radio Caroline Book Documents Six Decades of DJs

It features roughly 600 voices that have been heard since the ship's oceanic inception in 1964

BY JAMES CARELESS

There have been many books about Radio Caroline, the ship-based “pirate” radio station that brought 1960s pop music to Britons at a time when they couldn’t hear it anywhere else. But the new book, “Radio Caroline: Voices on the Air” does something rather different from previous volumes: 

It documents the roughly 600 DJ voices that have been heard on Caroline since its oceanic inception in 1964, right up to now when it can be heard on DAB+ and AM in parts of the UK, online and via smart speakers and smartphone apps. For the record, there were five ships that played home to Radio Caroline’s studio, AM transmitter and mast over the years. The largest was the Ross Revenge.
