news news news. news, news. with me. oh

i the building faulted and again there was a fight between israel and the countries and during the wall a took his sheep to the 4th of neil, the 4th of a 4th aid and broadcasted the messages for peaceful people. stuff of the woolen in think with napoleon and speak with our deal, but he said it was like, it was realistic because he e could see the massage and the plains and the plane are being heated and falling to the sea and everything was killing the other but they didn't touch him, they didn't touch the voice of face off the wall

a return to broadcast again. have you got permission from you guys? further canal? not yet, but i never ask for permission. i wouldn't let you go through last time. why would they change their minds now? i think there's a better climate right now, and i think what we're doing right now is really the, then it's of people, the people effort that the gesture of goodwill with flowers, that they along. we remember young kids at the day, off of a lot of violence. maybe we can help change up the my presenting board control. this is been a minion piece band, a minion piece by april alpha charlie to remain in the job in immediately

leaving now. thank you very much. good morning. ah, caroline could have got involved with politics in 1970 the station did. but only for a short while, but most of the time it was here just to play music. the chances are, had the station really got political, had overstepped the mark. then as had happened in 1970, it would have been jammed by, by government, probably any government. and they, you know, if you are an embarrassment to the government, they do the utmost to close down. caroline knew how far to go, but didn't overstep that mark. and until the eighty's, when the dutch invaded the ship,

they were reasonably safe. we kept ourselves selves and just played the music. and that was the intention. clive gregson, an american car, sounded very much like well spent 30 minutes away from h and we have colleen blend stone nick late summer, 989. the ship came out from england and spoke to this ship and said, we want you to shut down and switch off, go away. and if you don't, and something else is going to happen, which is far more severe than our am nice request. and of course, the law of the sea is you can't board a ship in international waters unless you're invited to do so. so our thought was, well, then what they have in mind. they went to the ship because international law says you can't do that. the next day, a very much larger ship horizon tied up alongside and it came from holland and on

board with dutch police and dutch coast guards. and in holland, the dutch police and coast cuz they were guns and there were a lot of them. so they climbed on board and nobody's going to confront a uniform man with a gun. and so they took ship over. now my contention is i had no right to do so because they had no were 40 because you are only a policeman in the country where that power is awarded to you. the 2nd you are in a foreign country or no country, you know the policeman anymore. be your man with a gun. and they wrecked and stripped every part of the ship during the course of the day and took all of our equipment away and left the ship behind. but the crew were invited to give up and go ashore and they said, no, we won't, we'll stay. and we start all over again. it's what happened. and this is a nice, wonderful moment for me really to come back out on the caroline ship into the studio. play wonderful. all vital. again. this is what radio was all about. it was

a great adventure. yes, i was aware that i was breaking the law, but i don't make a habit of breaking the law. and if the worst thing i ever doing, my life is sit on a rusty ship and play a beatles record. i haven't got much of a problem with that. my conscience is clear. i wasn't that keen on rough weather out at sea. we did have some really, really, really rough weather, but equally we had black. com days. beautiful, sunny days. people tell you to go on cruises. we're going to ship like music sitting in the sun. when the sun shone, it was lovely with friends, all doing the same thing. they all want you to be part of radio, caroline. unless weiss if you work for radio station, why not work for one? with the most famous name in the world, we will use to discuss the music that we played. so the great thing with everybody who was on the ship was if you can imagine a radio station on land, you know, somebody comes through the door through the program,

go home. now the person comes through the door to the problem that i've here. we do what we're doing and record library. you know, we used to sit around and talk about music. you know, what god is into music when new records used to come out to the ship, we used to get a lot of new records every week being sent to us even though the record companies weren't supposed to. but i did because i knew we had the listeners, you know, we actually listen to what the listeners want as well. that's what that was. the beauty and the success of caroline. it was the listeners controlled us. we controls the listeners viewed as a station. ah, a be paid the hill of the prize being in jail. and i visited him in jail, not for the radio station of us for his so called illegal meetings with p o leaders. soon after it became thanks god legitimated to meet below people. but in this stage,

it was still is not ready as after the brain was against the piano, is or was not ready to to for such a step. he understood very early. all the piece with india was not an issue. the main issue of peace with philistines and a, although the voice of pieces no change because of that visit his own personal activity became more focused on the settlements and he'll get by the tories, the meeting with a pillow. so i think that it was his credit that he was a moment of achievement for him. not that he contributed directly to this piece, but he understood many of the israelis, the northerners did, that this was not the whole picture that it was still

a lot of work to be done. well, it's a huge thing with caroline when everything's going well. something real bad happens and when everything seems so terrible that there is no means this means the possibility of rescuing it in something good happens. but the worst time was in, in round 990. when we absolutely ran out of money, we couldn't grow cross the signal. the ship was in the middle of the ocean. the living conditions were appalling. nobody should have been expected to live like that. but people didn't live like that because it meant some power to radio, caroline, so continued, and then the ship was shipwrecked in a part of the coast. where if you get ship repair, you just die. and it is part of the coast were 250 ships have been shipwrecked and

no one is survived and no ship is survived. and when i had this is in the process of happening. me having put people on the ship, encourage them to be there. i thought, well this is good. i'm probably going to be responsible for the death of 6 people with all the repercussions that will fall and after that. but the funny thing, lee, and thanks to the british rule, therefore, there were no death. and only 6 crew rescued without injury. but then it seemed absolutely certain the ship would just be lost with breakup, but think. but it was the only ship of $250.00, which was rescued and brought in shore. and at that point we had a ship, but nothing else. so a choice was okay, you know, we've given a best shot. this will go and get on with our lives or, you know, i think we start over again and we did

the ah, with my 9 year old a music station. it's not exactly 9 o'clock. the u. l. o v. a. watch time boulevard . caroline continentals. ah, it was a david and goliath. you know, you have big brother. the government trying to stop is all the time. and to be fair, they could have stopped bits, but we had a lot of friends within the government. law friends within the police have just turned a blind eye cuz i've been here since i've been working on shore and i worked for legal radio. when i 1st came ashore, i remember talking to a policeman and he said, we have bad things to do that changed the jays up and down the river. we got criminals to catch. you will, you know, as soon as playing music and most of the police and most of the government dysentery anyway. i think that's what kept it going. the fact that we shouldn't

have been there, but we were doing no harm. you know, anybody who worked on the station, if we were doing any harm, we went on it. that was it that we rented, we were there to entertain and not not to do any harm. and we brought about a change in radio and british radio. and again, that was, you know, that was what we, what we were therefore, to change british radio. we've done it. but we're still here. you know, we've got the license now and that's why we're sitting in, you know, if you like a river, not in international waters anymore, but still doing it on the ship to say thank you because there's so many list thinks i caroline's not caroline unless it comes from a ship. so for 2 weeks for a weekend, every month we do everything from the off the original radio caroline ship sank. me, amigo, i got a call to say will you come at work for the voice of pace and i feel yeah, cool. and then are initially when i was going to go out there for 3 months, but enjoyed it so much that, you know,

i stayed to 9 months and we used the broadcast fees for $10.00 of 8th. but we, we broadcast the whole of them at least. so again, we kept everything very short, very sharp, because a lot of people can understand english, could they? you know, so, and that was why we kept that billings ratio shout there that play pop music. because at the time i was there 980 at the time, i don't think there was many stations playing music. and that was what we used to do with the baby said doesn't float so that that's the 1st difference. but used to work with people who are committed to bringing good radio, but it's a different sort of radio to the caroline radio here on the ship you'll. it's part of your life. you live on the ship, you eat on the ship, you sleep on the ship. you are part of the ship's crew. whereas with the b b say, you wake up at home, you can, you car, you drive to work, you do the program. you go home again and once you've got friends there and the

guys, they are very friendly and a nice guys to, to work with that as, as around the world, any radio station. but you don't sleep with them. you don't eat with them. you don't talk with them other than with your program because it's then time to go home again. and that's the difference with caroline. you. you live sleep 8 radio on the me amigo, which was the one of the original radio caroline ships, the one that sank in 1980. that was probably the most challenging because literally, every day it was so all with the ship will use the spring leaks. you know, so technically the boat was sinking. so every day we like, well, you know, there's water coming in, pump it out, but it just became like one of those daily occurrence. so you just got used to it. but there was one particular night where at the time you think to yourself, yeah, it's windy, it's rough. we're in a situation here where, you know, like we were walking around in the record library on the b amigo, which was downstairs and the water level was coming out. so about here on the legs

. so, you know, it was like, do we call a life boat down? we call a life that we thought. now let's, if we get the pump started, we got the pump started, pump the ship out, very cold, but then she started to ride again and didn't take, we still take a water, but we are pumping water faster than we were taking it. and we used to fill the holes in the bottom of the ship with a piece of wood, not going through the hole that made it bigger, stopped the water, then concrete around. but that was why patching up the boat. and i suppose the next day that was myself, geico, pretty chicago, was our chief engineer. and another guy we sat at the mess room table. and we actually said that was probably the closest we've ever come to losing our lives. but at a time, you didn't realize it, you know, because there's so much going around and you had, you don't have time to think about it. but even thinking back to, to it now you think that was probably the closest law for me to come to lose a life the

i just love it. you heard that for the very 1st telling on this radio station many years ago. the kind of smith group because they're not here on our live. you know, when you turn on the radio on and suddenly a radio last. so the speaker do you think while i haven't heard this for ages and ages and ages, this is that moment. but the whole latitude is changed over the years. following on from what radio caroline started, it's taken an awful long time. i mean, here we are now with a license with a government license, but why couldn't they have given that to caroline 50 years ago? it just seems that they were worried about something that really they shouldn't have been worried about. and perhaps that's the way with governments around the world they, they worry that they haven't got control. and the government didn't have control of caroline. but i had nothing to fear because we, we really wanted to play music that we weren't spies, we want terrorists, we weren't bad guys. we just wanted to stay on

a ship and play music and some politicians. some politicians still even today find that hard to understand. that's the other thing. it didn't matter how bad the weather got. you never felt unsafe on the ship, even on the me and me go, you never felt unsafe on the ship. you thought the so if we, because we call it the lady and you say the ladies looking after she's looking after is and again, something we often talk about in the history of caroline, which was 964 to 2019. nobody's been, you know, seriously her or even worse killed yet. we've had a few injuries, but that's it. you know. and when you consider what we went through to keep a radio station on the air is remarkable. very good morning this morning, madame special. good morning, sunshine. a perfect. so on the tuesday morning, the 10th of june, 1980. those legal piece is the lead. and the voice is peace is the station 24 hours

a day. it was quite crazy because the whole project of a be was finally was it was a very said and very said ending personally, his live. and then a very, very said way lonely for gotten in a wheelchair is i didn't appreciate this man as he deserved. and also the sheep it got into financial troubles. nobody was there to help him. there was oh, slow and everyone saw that there will be peace without a be not that which was obviously not true. and in a certain stage, he gave up and made the ship sink. there were very few listener, then it was all dying. and it's a very, very sad story. i mean, it's a, it's a good stories, a good openings and many good years. but the end,

both of the both end of a be both very tragic, very said and shouldn't be like this. it should have been different. they would know to appreciate heroes of peace and not only heroes of war then a be will be more remember. and these bo 2 may be broadcast until today the we're going to also done a for too many times work on the ship of the go to violate law of the go to prison. lost a lot of money. i lost all the funds i have i've been a ship ship has done the job, the radio station,

the whole purpose was to bring the 2 parties that sits on top of each other. and now this i've been talking about the government. that was i think the by lodge. it is a lovely fairy tale. was there unhappy ending? at a b was a dreamer. he was not taking seriously enough as he deserved people liked his part. people liked his born life. he was a bohemian, also. when men food parties, he owned the restaurant, i mean, he was really a, a social project. but we need to get it go to politics and he was even elected for department. he was running for department, but it didn't take him seriously enough. and i wish that is, i would have taking him more serious than he take by the end of the day. it is one

of those color, 4 aspects of the conflict. but unfortunately, it's not the story of success because we know how the both ended. we know how a be and then most of them for working today. and whenever i think about a b and i think about him quite often, i must say. whenever i think about him, i feel deep sadness for the fake. not only he deserved more success between re lease and the palestinians obviously deserved more people like a be who really could live, change the picture, but never did a b as many, many friends and finding he was quite a lonely person. he had those and you will be parties into hilton every year to commemorate his flight to egypt any had dennis at home almost every friday or every

2nd friday, which i attended and all the who's who came or so there. but as i said funded, he was the only ok, let's put this is a song we cannot possibly and without the song i don't i hear it. ok, we oh, this is a song i think we should all thing. so let's see if we have the broadcast of the voice of peace after more than 21 years. thank you all for all your support. all the thank you to every oh be ah ah a to be we are
