Bristol Wireless will be hosting a fascinating talk on UK Pirate Radio in the 1960's and 70's on Wednesday 14th Jan at 8pm in The Zoo Bar, St Werburghs Community Centre.
Our Treasurer will be talking of how and why the pirate stations came about, their fascinating and ongoing conflict with the UK government and the draconian measures the government eventually took to get the North Sea broadcasters off the air once and for all.
The talk will feature original sounds from many of the pirate stations and stunning images from the North Sea. The talk will cover the ships, the transmitters, the music, the people - and, unfortunately, the authorities.
The Bristol Wireless bar will be open on the evening for your refreshment with all proceeds going to the Bristol Wireless project.
The talk will last for one hour with plenty of time for questions and answers afterwards.
