Radio

Yep, the new Power Play was aired Sun. nights - it became the highlight of the week ! A bit young to have heard Caroline, I'm afraid.

Do you remember the Radio Luxembourg "Power Play" where they played whatever song was chosen that week on every hour? Great if you liked it, not so good if it was one you hated. I used to listen to Luxembourg or Radio Caroline, the pirate station.

Radio is hugely underrated - I remember power cuts in '77 when we listened to a battery-run one each night & enjoyed it thoroughly. My mam always had Harbour Hotel on at dinnertime, if I hear the jingle today I can still taste mashed spud with sausage & tomato sauce !
I got my own tranny when I was 15 & listened to Stuart Henry ( hope he's still with us, I know he had MS ) and Rob Jones when I was "studying".

Has to be one of the best inventions ever! I love radio! Do you remember listening to your little transistor (tranny) radio when you were a kid? (in the 60`s/70`s) mine was a little plastic red one and my brother had a blue one the same. I think we got them for Christmas one year.they had a wrist strap on too. I used to sneak mine up to bed with me and lay listening to Stuart Henry I think it was, on Radio Luxembourg. you`d try tuning in and you`d get all the whistles and interference...ah bliss.everythings too perfect these days!lol.
