EOIN BUTLER talks to Steve Conway, Phantom FM presenter and former DJ with Radio Caroline, now the subject of a film by Richard Curtis
What was Radio Caroline, for those of us too young to remember?Radio Caroline was a pirate radio station that transmitted from a ship, the Ross Revenge, anchored in international waters. It started in the early 1960s and by the end of the decade was pulling in a British audience of 20 million. I started work there as a newsreader in 1987 and worked my way up. I was on board in 1991 when the vessel was finally shipwrecked.
