Hi all

Bristol Wireless will be hosting a fascinating talk on UK Pirate Radio in the
1960's and 70's on Wednesday 14th Jan at 8pm in The Zoo Bar, St Werburghs
Community Centre.

Our Treasurer Julien Weston will be talking of how and why the pirate stations
came about, their fascinating and ongoing conflict with the UK government and
the draconian measures the government eventually took to get the North Sea
broadcasters off the air once and for all.

The talk will feature original sounds from many of the pirate stations and
stunning images from the North Sea. Julien tells us his talk will cover the
ships, the transmitters, the music, the people - and unfortunately, the
authorities.

He will also reveal some curiosities such as why the pirate radio story really
starts in 1660, how the UK government can still "legally" pursue its citizens
anywhere in the world and what the link is between the radio pirates and the
Lockerbie bombing of Pan-Am Flight 103.

The Bristol Wireless bar will be open on the evening for your refreshment with
all proceeds going to the Bristol Wireless project. The talk will last for one
hour with plenty of time for questions and answers afterwards.
