London’s Pirate Pioneers Book

London’s Pirate Pioneers tells the whole story of pirate radio in the city from 1965 to 1990. From the early hobbyist operations of the 1960s to the big commercial enterprises of the 1980s. From suburban bedrooms to open fields to urban tower blocks. From hippies to soul boys to ravers. The book weaves together a year-by-year account of the developments in London’s radio with the stories of the key stations. It explores the political, social, musical and technological changes that were to influence each stage in the pirates’ evolution. There’s 58 photos covering every era plus lots of flyers and promos.
