I was chatting with Paul on facebook and he let me know about this Saturday's show. I should be able to listen as I only have to work 4 hours on Saturday. Sounds like an interesting show Paul and thanks for the update.
" I will give special attention to highlights from the Radio Veronica history as it is Easter Saturday."
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it. Pour l'amour de la musique
I had never heard Paul's show until this evening but it was very good indeed. I really enjoy hearing all the old snippets from the Pirate Radio days and not just the normal Caroline/London one's either.Very informative with a nice presentation The music was very good as well.
unfortunately I never was such a big fan of Radio Veronika as they had bombed the beautiful Mebo II and before put to silence my favorite station R. Northsea. After this stupid act by Veronika the Marine Offense Act was put into action by the Dutch government and all the still remaining pirates off the Dutch coast had to close down.
Thanks all for your responses. Couldn't agree more about the dangerous act of bombing RNI. In some stations history you'll find stupidness like that, even to the level of shooting each other. I don't expect anything like that at BigL!
Alec has send in a request for highlights about RNI. I'll start collecting. I might even fill two shows with that station. As you know there was an English service and a Dutch one and shortly in the beginning a German one with Horst "Winky winky" Reiner. It will be fun.
Kind regards, Paul

You'll find a load on Youtube. Also, I have the RNI Story as released on "Jumbo Records and Tapes" here in the UK which has been transferred to minidisc and is available.

Thanks for the help in sending me these links guys. I guess you really want me to put the RNI story on then. OK but I still need time to make the right selections. I prefer to put in the less obvious ones and I still have my day job to consider...
Kind regards, Paul
