Radio Mi Amigo will be live from the LV18 Lightship 9 to 11 August, celebrating the radio pirates of the sixties.
Joining us for our weekend of pirate radio are 1960s original DJs Keith ‘Cardboard Shoes’ Skues (BFBS, Radio Caroline, Radio London, Radio Hallam & BBC), Stephen ‘Foz’ Foster (Radio Orwell, BBC, Radio Caroline), Chris Cooper (Voice of Peace, Radio Caroline, Radio Seagull) and many more experienced DJs. Radio Mi Amigo programme director is Garry Lee.
Radio Mi Amigo plays the hits from the pirate ships of the 1960s and 1970s which helped change pop culture in the UK. The station is streaming 24hrs a day but will be live from our studio from midday Friday 9th August to midnight Sunday 11th for Pirate Radio Weekend.
It’s been six months since the LV18 was devastated by an arson attack and this weekend’s live broadcasts will help raise money for the restoration fund to restore this unique ship.
Tony O’Neil, chairman of the Pharos Trust, said he was delighted that the ship’s studio would be available for the weekend, and this was a testament to the efforts everyone had put in since the fire.
The LV18 has been open free of charge since its re-opening at Whitsun and will will remain free for the duration so visitors can view the restoration so far. Donations are welcome.
