The Last Pirates: Britain's Rebel DJs

  • © BBC Music

In the 1980s, a new generation of pirate radio stations exploded on to Britain's FM airwaves. Unlike their seafaring swinging 60s forerunners, these pirates broadcast from London's estates and tower blocks to create a platform for black music in an era when it was shut out by legal radio and ignored by the mainstream music industry. Featuring interviews with DJs, station owners and DTI enforcers as well as some of the engineers who were the secret weapon in the pirate arsenal, this is the untold story of how Britain's greatest generation of pirate radio broadcasters changed the soundtrack of Britain forever.
