Pirate Memories
was created in 1999 to bring to the publics attention, a film that
was originally shot in 1966. The film was taken on the 60’s pirate
radio ship “The Galaxy”, and featured daily life on board Radio
London.
The film had at
some stage, been transferred to a VHS video tape, and was found
along with other pirate radio memorabilia in a suitcase that had
been left after its owner emigrated to Australia in the late 80’s.
Despite months
of painstaking research, the owner of the film, and the cameraman
have never been officially identified, although there have been a
number of theories, as to who was behind the lens.
The film depicts
daily routine on board the radio ship, with tenders arriving and
departing, shots of the studio, with DJ’s on air, and exteriors of
the ship during the many weather conditions the ship had to endure
during its two and a half years at sea between December 1964 and
August 1967.
Now, in 2005,
Pirate Memories is growing to include an on-line shop selling Pirate
Radio recordings and memorabilia, from those halcyon days of
offshore radio broadcasting.
Pirate Memories
will try to include all of the 60’s offshore pirate stations, and
will be looking at the 70’sand 80’s pirates too.
As new material
becomes available, we naturally will bring it to you via the on-line
shop. |
