Hello again dear listener. As we welcome a new month, and a nice long Bank Holiday weekend, here’s another eclectic mix of tunes for your listening pleasure. This week’s ‘Retro Rewind’ takes us back to 1968, the year Apollo 8 circled the Moon, and pirate radio was all the rage. My special guest is Alex Thorpe, Co-Director of Caroline – A New Musical opening at the Queen’s Theatre in Hornchurch on Wednesday, and all about Radio Caroline, the pirate ship based off the Essex coast.
Enjoy!
