Pirate Radio Hall of Fame November 2025

The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame has been updated. Back in November 1985, almost forty years ago, Laser-558 ceased transmissions. It was a sad end to a popular radio station. This month we remember its demise in part 5 of The Laser Story; plus there are numerous press cuttings from the time; we salute four former offshore radio people who passed away during October and pay a special tribute to one of them, Tom Edwards. All this and more at https://www.offshoreradio.co.uk/

RIP Colin Nichol

Following the sad news of the death of Tom Edwards, I am afraid I have just heard that another well-remembered former pirate has left us. Colin Nichol passed away yesterday (28/10/25) in Perth, Western Australia at Fiona Stanley Hospital after a short illness, battling pancreatic cancer. RIP Colin.
