Radio Caroline - on the air: voices on the air

By Paul Rusling

A listing of the hundreds of voices heard on Radio Caroline with four distinct eras since her launch at Easter 1964 as Britain's first all-day music station.

After her sixties success as the Sound of the Nation she metamorphosised in the seventies to be Europe's first and only album station, mixing alternative music with messages of hope and peace. After the MV Mi Amigo sank in 1980, a replacement ship carried on the same work until she had to be salvaged from the notorious Goodwin Sands in 1991. Now a legal and licensed station ashore, Caroline has evolved into a four station network of alternative music for the British Isles.

Radio Caroline has been a beacon on the medium wave band for six decade now, for those seeking an alternative to state controlled broadcasts. Her moorings in International Waters enabled her to operate free of state rules and regulations. Now she operates legally from shore bases under licence, but still offers an alternative to mainstream broadcasts.

The book outlines the Radio Caroline story, listing all its many programme hosts and presenters, the DJs and the stars, in all four eras of her life, as well as the lesser-known names. Many of these brave young men went on to find fame and fortune on other media elsewhere and former Caroliners can be found all over the world. They invariably remember with great affection the kick start given to their media careers on Radio Caroline.
