D/J Johnnie Walker.

[Leekbrookgull]

Like many here have heard him many times,never knew he was on Caroline however like 'whispering' Bob and the late John Peel he knows his stuff. From what i have Youtubed maybe the return of offshore free radio would not be a bad thing ?

All the gooduns started out on Caroline or Luxemburg

Listen to excellent Johnnie Walker Seventies show on Sundays-interestingly his email address has the word 'pirate' in it.

 

[NMH]

What helped those pirates be 'good', was the excellent music that was around at the time.
On the whole they didn't play album tracks back then - but at least it wasn't the crap number 1 novelty single twice every hour.

Paul Gambachini and John Peel were best, in the 70's imho.

Johnnie Walker has always been a breath of fresh air on radio ever since his days on Radio Caroline South. Top bloke!

 

[fire&skill]

And he has a great name.

Absolutely this, always been eclectic in his tastes.

My favourite is Dave Cash who does the Radio Sussex/Surrey etc on Saturday evenings he was another from the 'pirates'.

He used to do a show with Kenny Everett on Radio London (that's where Tony Blackburn really made his name).

debatable that Blackburn has ever 'made his name'!

 

[middletoenail]

I only discovered Caroline a few months ago, I love their Saturday morning show, pure class!

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

For those who listen to Radio Caroline via their Sky or Freesat digibox you need to be aware that the epg (electronic programme guide) slots will be given up at sometime in the future but there will still be a sateliite transmission and all you have to do is add it as an "other channel".

I see what you did there!

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

yep, Dave cash show is pretty good of a dull Saturday. Beats anything on TV at that time.

Played the first ever record on Radio One, Flowers in the Rain by The Move. Granted I don't care for him much.

Tony BlacKburn is a good pro DJ. Still makes me laugh. Have not hear him do the Chop Chop song recently. Radio Caroline is a part of the British broad casting History. Loving awareness! Who was the loonie American preacher who used to come on and reduce people to tears? A bit of a religious Nazi Iseem to remember.
