Produced by Mark Stafford and totally free for your radio station to air.<br \/>\nOn Sunday August 14th 2022, it will be exactly 55 years since probably the most exciting era in British Commercial Radio came to an end, with the introduction of the UK Government\u2019s Marine Offence Act.<br \/>\nDuring the previous three years British Radio Listeners had seen a complete transformation in their radio landscape. In place of the limited pop music choice offered by the BBC Light Programme, listeners learned to love Offshore Radio Stations such as Radio Caroline, Radio London, Swinging Radio England, Radio 270 and many more.<br \/>\n55 years on, for those who experienced that period the great memories still remain. So much so, that a number of large commercial radio stations are planning to commemorate the anniversary.<br \/>\nHowever, this three-hour documentary not only plays the music of the era, but it also tells the full story of those great radio days.<br \/>\n\u201cPlease Don\u2019t Take Them Away &#8211; The Story Of The Great British Pirate Era\u201d includes exclusive interviews with many of the leading names who broadcast from around the coast of Britain during that era. These include\u2026. Dave Cash, Robbie Dale, Tony Prince, Roger \u201cTwiggy\u201d Day, Don Allen, Johnnie Walker, Carl Conway, John Peel, Martin Kayne and other presenters who made the era what it was.<br \/>\nThe story also features countless of-air extracts and a soundtrack showcasing the great music played on the Offshore Stations.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s totally free of charge, has no adverts, but does have space for yours! So, if you would like to put it out please email<br \/>\nmark@markstafford.co.uk<br \/>\nThanks<br \/>\nMark Stafford<br \/>\nStafford\u2019s World<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This would fit perfectly into next weekend&#8217;s programming for any radio station.
