Remember listening to Johnny walker as a young teenager on his 9 to 12 show usually finishing with Percy Sledges 'warm and tender love'.To me these days will never be re lived and as JW said so many things happened in a relatively short space of time considering the technology that was available then.Pirate radio was the only source of 'new genres of music available to the British public.SOUL ,BLUES,MOTOWN AND SKA would not have existed for about another 6 years if left for the BBC to promote it .
Fabulous post…many thanks.
Now Johnnie walker works on radio 2 ,oh how funny things turn out .😊
Johnny remarked elsewhere that the records played on the station was 'One from the playlist and from not....' If only that were the case now.
199 Caroline : 1520 Kilocycles in the Medium waveband , its DEE time ( er , off topic , Ha - Ha ! ) .... DAVE™🛑

Great radio days Radio Caroline put the wind up the BBC.
