A legendary DJ is set to bring the fascinating true story of pirate radio to East Anglia next month. 

From the 1960s to the 1980s, DJs defied the authorities and risked their freedom and sometimes their lives out at sea broadcasting pop music to millions from Radio Caroline’s pirate radio ships in the North Sea.

Now, Ray Clark - who remains a presenter for Radio Caroline alongside BBC Essex, will be taking to the stage to share his story with an audience at Maldon’s Blue Boar Hotel.

Ray was on board Ross Revenge in the 1980s and has written a book called ‘Radio Caroline: The True Story of The Boat That Rocked’, which tells a story of human endeavour and risk, international politics, business success and financial failures.

‘Radio Caroline – an Illustrated Talk by Ray Clark’ will be taking place on Saturday, December 10, 12 noon – 2 pm at The Blue Boar Hotel in Silver Street, Maldon.
