Radio Caroline Support Group

The Radio Caroline Support Group exists independently of Radio Caroline itself (at www.radiocaroline.co.uk) and content here does not neccessarily reflect its official position.  It brings together enthusiasts, volunteers and staff and helps maintain sources of income to help the station meet its running and development costs, as well as keeping the ship in good condition.  Here you can see some of what we get up to, especially at the Southampton branch.

The current incarnation of Radio Caroline is the Internet, DAB and Suffolk-based 648 kHz AM/MW follow-on from the legendary offshore (ship-based) radio station that inspired the farce comedy movie "Pirate Radio" (US) / "The Boat That Rocked" (UK).  More importantly, in its offshore era, this good-hearted rebel music radio station freed listeners, artists and record companies in the UK and Europe from restrictive monopolistic stations of the day (1960s-1980s).  The Rolling Stones' initial exposure (in the 1960s) being a case in point.
