I used to listen to Caroline but Radio London was my favourite.
I remember listening to the last show right to the bitter end when they switched the transmitter off

Mine as well, caroline just never quite made it.. And yes, I remember that night, and feeling just so empty.

Of course I'm way too young for Radio Caroline, but I'm very glad to see this thread. Not gonna say why though.

What about the Caroline Roadshows?! Chelmsford Chancellor Hall, Dumpys Rusty Nuts headlining (although once, the mighty Twisted Sister had the honour), speed + acid, patchouli, scrumpy - let's rock!

Me too! I remember they used to say the cook had set fire to the kitchen on the Mi-Amigo and what did you have.....

God, did my neck ache everytime, the next day - far too much hand-banging for my own good
