    Hans Knot International Radio Report July/August 2017 Welcome to another issue of the International Radio Report and like every summer it will be one for the month of July and August. Thanks for the many response on last issue as well as memories and photos have been sent in for this and further issues. Enjoy the report! Sadly we have to start with bad news. May the 30th the following sad news came in from Mark Sloane (Pat Hammerton) ‘Sorry to report Hans my dear chum David Gilbee, Dave Mackay, died this weekend. He and I met on Radio 390 and worked together on 355. He was also my brother in law, marrying my sister Lis.’ Dave MacKay Radio 355 Photo: collection Pirate Hall of Fame I’m very sorry to hear this sad news Pat. Of course you know him far much better than I do. I met him on a handful of occasions and was in contact with him by e-mail through the years. Of course he was on special Radio Reunions a few times in England where we met during the last 20 years. But our very first meeting was one, were we sometimes talked about. It was a very special day just after the official opening of Melody Radio in London. I was there for a special for our magazine and he told me all about the station, the style of presentation but above all how much of the music was transferred to a machine which was just put into the market. It was Dave who brought me to the idea to do the same with my vinyl collection.

    Hans Knot International Radio Report May 2016 Welcome everybody to another International Radio Report with a lot of thanks to all those who responded on last issue. Those with very interesting answers will be in this in next report, others have already had their personal answers in the mail. Let’s start this issue with an e mail from Roger Day, who’s working 50 years within the radio industry next month and started his career way back in 1966 on Swinging Radio England: ‘Hi Hans Details of my party to celebrate this milestone. It would be fantastic if you can come. Tickets on sale here. https://www.dreamland.co.uk/events/listings/eventdetail/175/9/fift y-shades-of-day-with-roger-twiggy-day Best Wishes Roger Day’. Roger Day in 1968 when he worked for Radio Caroline. Photo: Freewave Archive. Well thanks a lot Roger for the invitation but coming over to England during that weekend is not possible due to other commitments. Hopefully one or more of the readers will have a look at the above mentioned internetsite and decide to book a ticket. May I wish you a lot of pleasure and hopefully many more years in radio! Next one comes from Mike Terry who had sharp ears when listening to BBC Radio 2: ‘Hi Hans. It was surprising to hear BBC Radio 2 Sounds of the Sixties show plays my request: ‘I Love You Caroline’ and mention Radio Caroline on April 9th. As I expect you know this record is from the Pathfinders, a Birkenhead, Liverpool group.

  • Hans Knot International Radio Report December 2015 Welcome to This
    Hans Knot International Radio Report December 2015 Welcome to this edition of the radio report and thanks for all the e mails with memories and more, which is most appreciated. Also this time there is a variety of subjects and so let’s start with the first one: Recently I was linked through to a message board where several people are exchanging memories and more. One of them was Terry Davis, which we know from offshore stations like Radio Atlantis and RNI. I added a memory by saying that Terry should also be remembered for his excellent ‘Beatles songs’ which were aired a lot on Radio Atlantis. Later he also worked together with Steve England in the jingle companies Tapetrix and Alfa Sounds. Well Terry sent some nice pictures from his Atlantis days in 1974. The first one is a photo from the bridge of the radioship, which was anchored in international waters off the Belgium coast in those days. The second one shows Steve England, Debbie and John Harding and a fourth person at the background which cannot be remembered by me. And finally here is a photo of the deck-hands Dean and Raffle, who were mentioned in the programs from the international service on Radio Atlantis. A regular in the report and friend since we met for the very first time in 1970 is Paul de Haan. On Saturdays I’m galley man - as I don’t want to name myself cook – on board the minesweeper ‘de Naarden’ in Delfzijl. Working there is also a machinist who was working with Dutch Marine in the seventies of last century.

  • The Popular Music Heritage of the Dutch Pirates: Illegal Radio and Cultural Identity
    To cite: Hoeven, A. van der. (2012). The popular music heritage of the Dutch pirates: illegal radio and cultural identity. Media, Culture & Society, 34(8), 927–943. The popular music heritage of the Dutch pirates: illegal radio and cultural identity Arno van der Hoeven Abstract This article explores how cultural identities are negotiated in relation to the heritage of illegal radio in the Netherlands. The term ‘pirate radio’ commonly refers to the offshore radio stations that were broadcasting during the 1960s. These stations introduced commercial radio and popular music genres like beat music, which were not played by public broadcasters at the time. In their wake, land-based pirates began broadcasting for local audiences. This study examines the identities that are constituted by the narrative of pirate radio. Drawing on in-depth interviews with archivists, fans and broadcasters, this article explores the connection between pirate radio, popular music heritage and cultural identity. Moreover, it considers how new technologies such as internet radio provide platforms to engage with this heritage and thus to maintain these local identities. To examine how the memories of pirate radio live on in the present a narrative approach to identity will be used.
