"Pop and Rock Legends with Bob and Mike" - Pirate Days
Next Friday (28 August) in a long awaited special show, 'Pop & Rock Presenters' Mike Barry and Bob Bluffield will be tracing the incredible history of pirate radio in the UK and Europe. In a two-hour show compiled and written by Bob over the best part of a year; the content will examine the early days of the BBC and its post-war failings. The Beeb's neglect of its teenage audience led to an explosion of illegal offshore commercial radio stations operating from ships and wartime forts located in international waters off the British, Dutch and Scandinavian coasts. Bob explains: "In my teenage years rock and pop music was rarely played on the BBC Light Programme, and when it was it was usually a studio orchestra playing cover versions of hits which was dreadful. An alternative could be found in Radio Luxembourg, but this only broadcast at night and the signal strength was at best patchy. Then came the pirate stations and the entire way that youngsters could listen to music changed to become more exciting. It was a revelation that changed radio broadcasting as we had known it. But, this was short lived and set to change when the government of the day introduced legislation to silence them."
"The main reason why it has taken so long to put the programme together" says Bob "is because, until recently, it had been quite difficult to locate the right balance of jingles that I wanted to feature. Hopefully, those that I have obtained will jog the memories of anyone of a 'certain age' that may have listened to the pirate stations during the 1960s. They were wonderful times and I recall hearing the Beach Boys for the very first time when Radio Caroline played 'I Get Around'.
But, even if you were not familiar with the pirate stations, Friday's show aims to be a potted journey through radio history from the early days of broadcasting up to the start of the 1970s. Some of the colourful characters in the history of offshore radio may seem larger -than-life ... so too were the often bizarre antics they got up to. If this brief synopsis has wetted your appetite ... then tune in next Friday for all to be revealed.

"Soundtracks with Tony Carty"
Also – available by clicking on the “Listen to past shows” button - is the edition of Soundtracks from Tuesday 18 Aug (SOUNDTRACKS 170 PARKER and WINTERS) which is well worth hearing. It featured music for some of the films of the actress Shelley Winters and things associated with the great literary figure and wit Dorothy Parker. There is also some reference to the gender politics of music. But, what makes the whole thing outstanding is the contribution of Secklow’s presenter Catherine Rose. Her delivery of some of the poetry of Dorothy Parker should NOT be missed.
