Radio Caroline was the world’s most famous pirate radio station during its heyday in the 1960s and ‘70s, but did the thousands of people tuning in realise just what battles went on behind the scenes? Financed by respected city money men, this is a story of human endeavour and risk, international politics, business success and financial failures. A story of innovation, technical challenges, changing attitudes, unimaginable battles with nature, disasters, frustrations, challenging authority and the promotion of love and peace while, at times, harmony was far from evident behind the scenes.

For one person to tell the full Radio Caroline story is impossible, but there are many who have been involved over the years whose memories and experiences bring this modern day adventure story of fighting overwhelming odds to life. Featuring many rare photographs and unpublished interviews with the ‘pirates’ who were there, Ray Clark, once a Radio Caroline disc jockey himself, tells the captivating story of the boat that rocked!

RAY CLARK has enjoyed a successful radio career for more than thirty years, after fulfilling his dream of working aboard Radio Caroline in the eighties. Since then he has regularly broadcast on a variety of commercial and BBC radio stations, together with frequent appearances on Pittsburgh’s KDKA, the world’s oldest radio station. He has won numerous prestigious national and international radio awards. Ray continues to present programmes on Radio Caroline and BBC and has also written The Great British Woodstock (The History Press).
