Record of the Week

Record of the week

Each month I'll place a YouTube link on the 'Blog' of a favourite record and a few words about why it's a favourite

If you have a particular record that you would like to feature here then just let me know the name and why you consider it a favourite

'Caroline' - The Fortunes

Here's one of my favourites

This was the theme tune for 'Radio Caroline'. A Pirate Radio Station dedicated to popular music. For the first time ever, popular music was broadcast all day, thanks to the vision of those backing the Caroline project. Gone were the days of trying to listen to the only option prior to Caroline, Radio Luxembourg, which was plagued with fade due to atmospheric conditions associated with 208mw.

Did you know that in 1964 the BBC broadcast only 45 minutes of pop music a day? No wonder we all became rebels

Radio Caroline changed the UK governments views on music for youngsters, which appeared to have been controlled or regulated until pirate radio started a musical revolution

Trudi and Lorraine thought a musical quiz featuring the type of music that may have been played in the 'Crystal' would be a good idea to stimulate interest. Their idea came to fruition and 'Beat the Intro' was born and became an integral part of the Groups 'Facebook' page.

Has it been a success? In many ways it has, although we would like to see more folk taking part, however there is no doubting it becomes a regular Sunday morning challenge and there's some good natured banter involved as well

How we encourage people to join in the fun!

Test your musical knowledge and have a go next Sunday
