From the Easter weekend of 1964 through to the late summer of 1967, Britain's airwaves were invaded by pirate radio stations broadcasting in what were technically international waters, three miles off the UK coast. It was what they broadcast that made the pirate radio stations so novel, so challenging and ultimately so influential. For the first time ever in the UK, these stations put out a daily diet of pop records and disc jockey chat based on American Top 40 radio and aimed at an audience largely ignored by the BBC - teenagers. To a teenage population reared on staid and respectable BBC Light programme shows like 'Music While You Work', 'Family Favourites' and 'Housewives Choice', pirate radio was like manna from heaven. For just over three years it provided non stop soundtrack to the swinging 60s and gave the British pop scene a massive and enduring boost. In WE LOVE PIRATE RADIO we pay tribute to these unlikely pop radio pioneers
