Welcome To The Pirate Archive
It's difficult to imagine now, with the amount of radio stations available, just how little
choice there used to be. If you wanted to listen to something a bit different, the chances
are you wouldn't be tuned in to stations broadcasting from plush studios, but from tower
blocks or windy hills. These were the glory days of land based pirate radio.
The Pirate Archive has been created as a tribute to the people who put in the hard work
on these stations, just to provide us with some entertainment. It is also here to preserve
the stories and old recordings which would otherwise be lost, meaning a little bit of
broadcasting history would be gone forever.
We have station histories, artwork, newspaper articles, audio and video recordings all
available for download. Click on the stations button above. You might find your favourite
station in there.
We are always willing to add more material and more stations to the ones already
covered, but to do so, we need your help. If you have any material you would like to share
by allowing us to make it available for download, then please get in touch or upload it by
using the upload page the link to which is on the left of the page.
Did you tape your favourite station or were you a pirate broadcaster who used to record
your own shows? Show the world why you got excited enough to use up a C90 taping
your favourite station, prove to your friends how famous you used to be or let your old
programmes live again and reach a whole new audience.
On the other hand if you'd just like to reminisce about the old days, click on the forum
button above and come and join us for a chat. Who knows, some long lost friends could be
lurking in there.
