Guide to your favourite RFL DJs.
Adrian
Cooke: The posh voice on the station. Adrian has been on the
SW free radio scene since the early eighties and presents an Internet
information program looking at radio related sites on the web, plus some
bizarre ones as well. Steve
Chubby: Steve joined RFL after being sacked by another SW pirate
Laser Hot Hits. He had said words about Radio Caroline on air, which the
management of the station didn’t like and after a phone call from Mr.Moore,
Steve’s services were no longer wanted at Laser who have close connections
with Caroline. Jodie:
The female voice who started with the station back on FM in 1991 and was
also well known for her rock shows on the former SW station from Ireland,
RadioFax. Dave
Martin: "There you go" Dave is most well known for being the
man behind the popular nineties SW station WNKR. Since the station has
been inactive he has done the odd show for RFL and helps to keep the transmitting
equipment in working order. Eric
May: "Ooh-r-Superstar" Middle East Disco DJ who was thrown off
the air at Radio Bahrain for saying naughty things on the radio when he
was only a guest ! Eric joined RFL when it re-launched on FM back in April
1995. Kenny
Myers: Kenny has been around on the London pirate circuit since
the early seventies when he and original sixties Radio Free London member
Mark Ashton revived the station in 1973. Up until 1995, Kenny built the
transmitting equipment that kept the station going on FM for over two
decades. Even though he is not a great lover of h.f. broadcasting, Kenny
has been heard from time to time on the SW service and has done programs
on the recent 1125kHz AM service to London. Terry
Philips: "The Friendly old Gentleman of Free Radio" Terry has
been a supporter of free radio since the offshore days of the 1960s when
he was a big Radio London fan, and later became involved in broadcasting
in 1989. He met Andy Walker and together they broadcast on FM an oldies
station called Radio Mi-Amigo on a Saturday afternoon. This proved to
be popular, as the official ILR oldies station for London Capital Gold
broadcast football matches between 3-6pm and so a gap was being filled.
Terry has been on the SW airwaves since 1990. He and Walker joined with
Myers and Ashton, to revive RFL in 1995 on FM twice a week. Tony
Randall: King of "The Sweetie Zone" and the Honky Tonk of the
airwaves, started on the free radio path in 1972 when he joined the legendary
London pirate, Radio Jackie. His biggest claim to fame was being chased
by a Police car and lossing it after a raid, with a warm Jackie transmitter
in the back seat. Tony had at the time, the fastest car on the London
pirate scene, a gross coloured purple Ford Capri. After 20 years away
from the microphone, Tony joined RFL and does now, what he did twenty
years ago on the Saturday night FM pirate station Sun Radio, an over the
top brand of "1970s Camp Humour".........Nice ! Andy
Walker: "The Mouth of the South" In 1975 and at the age of 15,
Walker became one of the site crew on the Soft Rock London AM pirate,
Radio Kaleidoscope. Later that year he joined the short lived City Sounds
as one of their on air voices. Walker came on to Shortwave with WFRL in
1986. He is most well known for his Free Radio Shows on WNKR between 1991-1994.
With his nonsense views of the European pirate scene at the time and sometimes
over the top shock comments, he built up a large following but also annoyed
alot of people. Together with Terry Philips, they put RFL on shortwave
and put a little piece of life back into the oldest landbased pirate station
in the world. |
