S.K. Moore

4.9/5 (31812 ratings)

Description:Life can be stranger than fiction and this account is based on real people and events, a biographical history of the 1960s music scene, written as a novel. (Over 40 photographs) It follows the extraordinary lives of Reg and Dorothy Calvert who were at the heart of the entertainment business. Intertwined are the exciting lives of singers, musicians, pirate disc jockeys and radio engineers. Reg managed some of the top recording groups and all would have been well, except for his dream to own a pirate radio station. Easter, 1964 Radio Caroline took to the airwaves and soon there was a proliferation of pirate radio stations broadcasting pop music all day, three miles off the coast and outside British jurisdiction. The government were in uproar. They broke the BBC's monopoly and the general public loved them. Music and pirate radio were at the heart of the swinging sixties. Reg and Screaming Lord Sutch had a summer of fun making haphazard broadcasts as Radio Sutch from abandoned wartime forts in the Thames Estuary. When Sutch returned to performing, Reg changed the name to Radio City and put the station on a professional footing. What started in fun ended in conspiracy and murder. The tragic events of midsummer night, 1966 became the catalyst to change the face of British broadcasting. At the trial that followed, witnesses were cancelled and evidence lost. Dorothy was determined to carry on running the station even though her life was threatened. When Radio City was forced to close by the courts, Reggie Kray asked her to continue, saying he had the 'Government in his pocket.' Even today, there are questions left unanswered.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
