The Marine Offences Bill secured the Tory vote in the following election. Millions of voters could not support Wedgewood-Benn or the Labour Government after taking away their stations. The Labour Government just couldn't stand any form of free enterprise or competition. The Tories got in & immediately formed commercial radio stations.
Nostalgia at its best.Pirate stations of the 60s was my introduction to many genres of music ,especially soul ,motown and ska.What times!!
Wow. So much footage !! Thank you.

Great time to be a teenager. The land based follow ons never quite captured the same spirit.
Thanks to the pirates for all the 60s bands that we might never had heard.
