Anyone confirm the names of the two guys in the bottom photos?
Merv Kennard… When I get some time I’ll go through my books.
Merv Kennard… Big photo could be Ferry Maat a Dutch Radio Veronica DJ.
Mike Barraclough… First photo I think is Robbie Dale
Alan Esdaile… Thanks Mike. Yes it is Robbie Dale, there is a photo of him in the newspaper with Johnnie Walker yesterday.
Not sure who The Supernatural were but BIG names to follow in the next few weeks.

photo source http://www.offshoreradio.co.uk: Spangles Muldoon in the Radio Northsea International studio in 1970. Photo from the ‘RNI-book’ published by Hit-Publications, Switzerland.
Nick Prince… Spangles Muldoon also had a very short period on Radio Luxembourg. Still didn’t we all. Lol. Chris Carey also worked on Radio North Sea International and Radio Nova. He died in 2008 following two massive strokes.
Mick O’Dowd… Wasn’t he a Caroline DJ? I think Andre might have info on that.
Andre Martin… Hi I promoted this at the Regent Hotel, we renamed this the Broken Wheel for a short while and Spangles who was real name Chris Carey, living in Cambridge at the time. Paul was also involved in this project. the advert is for the first night, I have to say that it did not pull too many punters. Another little piece of the Past. Mick – your quite right, we also did a couple of gigs for us at Bluies-Canterbury around the same time as this. He was ex Radio Caroline South.He ended up working for commercial radio in Ireland.
This is Radio Caroline’s 648 kHz omnidirectional mast in Orfordness, originally a spare mast for BBC’s directional 648 service aimed at mainland Europe (see 4 of the 5 masts in the background). It’s professional build, perfect tuning and grounding plus its position near the sea make it the perfect antenna to get the most out of Caroline’s limited 1 kilowatt, enabling the signal to cover large parts of the UK as well as all of the Netherlands and other parts of mainland Europe.
Josie Lawson… I loved listening to Radio Caroline..
Nick Prince… You can again
Tiffany Barton… Retro sound is so much better. I listened in Aberdeenshire and so excited to hear on 648.
Alan Wood… Driving around with caroline on ,,who would have believed it !!!!!! Makes me forget I’m an old fart !!
Josie Lawson… thanks Nick but I haven’t got A.M. now. Only FM and DAB on my RNIB radio. Can it be found on the iPad anywhere’s?
Jim Breeds… Josie, Listen on their website. http://www.radiocaroline.co.uk/#home.html
Graham Peters… Radio Caroline opened my ears to real music

Alan Esdaile… I’m sure Masons Music made the first two and Kevin Carlyon printed them.
Judy Atkinson… Listened to Caroline then Luxembourg every night as a teenager
Sparrow Baker… Ah ! Kevin
Douglas Palmer… I guess this is the same Kevin that i knew back in the early 70’s when we both worked at Berfort Reproductions. He was just known as plain kevin Jones in those days but was always destined to do something big in his life.

Sarah Harvey….February 3rd, 1968 – Seeing as The Fortunes returned to Hastings January 17th last year (This time at The White Rock Theatre for their ‘Past And Present’ show)…. I wonder if this was the last time they appeared in Hastings? Anyone know? Apparently they played in Battle, one of the band members tell me.
Gary Kinch…. ….it’s a storm in a teacup. Great sing along pop stuff.
Mick O’Dowd…I have Great Expectations every week but I still can’t win the Lottery!
Barry French… Hi Sarah, Yes the Fortunes did play at “Battle Rocks” about four years ago. Not sure if there were any original members still in the band, but the keyboard player was from Bad Finger & I believe the drummer was from Love Affair.
Anyone remember Square One?
Martin Curcher… Syd Barrett’s last concert with Floyd, on Hastings Pier January, 20th 1968.
