Pop
Went the Pirates II TO PRODUCE THE definitive history of pirate
radio and pirate radio ships is a daunting task.
Pop Went the Pirates II sets out to achieve this with a
comprehensive account from the earliest pirate radio
stations in the 1930s up to the present day and takes in
reunions and celebrations that have taken place since in
England, Holland and the United States of America since
the Government outlawed the offshore radio stations in
1967.
This outstanding volume is the product of 45 years
painstaking research by the author, Keith Skues, who has
been involved in sound broadcasting throughout the
period. The informative text is fully illustrated with
nearly 300 black and white photographs of the pirate
ships, DJs, and performing artists - many of which have
never previously been published.
Delve into this tour de force to find out all about the
ships and forts which played such important roles in
changing pop music and radio broadcasting into the
format which exists today. DJs and executives of many
stations, both large and small, recount their
involvement in the pirate radio saga. Read detailed
accounts of the debates in Parliament which led to the
demise of the pirate radio stations. The philosophy
behind Radio One, the BBC’s answer to pirate radio, is
examined by former controllers of the Network.
In order for the reader to easily locate any specific
pirate radio ship, fort, personality or event, a full
index has been compiled.
