BRISTOL PIRATE RADIO RECORDINGS

This blog is intended for me to post my pirate radio recordings. Most of the recordings are from Bristol, most will be pirate but there will be some legal stations and stations from other cities or national stations.

IF YOU OR YOUR FRIENDS HAVE ANY TAPE RECORDINGS OF PIRATE RADIO FROM BRISTOL, PLEASE SUBMIT THEM TO THIS BLOG BY RECORDING THEM TO MP3 (CLICK HERE FOR A HELP GUIDE) AND UPLOADING THEM TO http://www.sharebee.com, or a similar site such as Megaupload, Mediafire, ZShare, but not Rapidshare as it's getting a bit hard to use. SEND THE URL IT GIVES YOU TO ME VIA A COMMENT ON MY LATEST POST or BY EMAIL AT bristolpirates at gmail.com (you'll have to correct that with the proper @ symbol, I started getting spam on the address). WE COULD ALSO ARRANGE A PICK-UP OF YOUR TAPES IF YOU LIVE IN BRISTOL AND CAN'T CONVERT TAPES TO MP3. THANKS IN ADVANCE, YOU WILL BE CREDITED.

"You got Bunjy with Brother Nick on his show playin hip hop, Brother Nick's own 'Mass Appeal show', Wile Up with his Pastor persona, + a bit of Goldfinger and Mystri.

There's a Brotha Nick that still DJ's in Bristol - is this the same dude? - his radio voice sounds totally different."

Well Rich, there is "Brother Nick" who is Bunjy's mate on the tape - http://www.myspace.com/djbrothernick - And there is also "Brova Nick" who plays on Passion and sometimes at Soultrain - http://www.passionradiobristol.co.uk/artist/brovanick.htm - http://www.soultrain.co.uk/old/djs/brova-nick.htm

I'm back again with a compilation of Ragga FM shows from 95. http://rapidshare.com/files/242196107/Ragga105_1995.mp3.html You got Bunjy with Brother Nick on his show playin hip hop, Brother Nick's own 'Mass Appeal show', Wile Up with his Pastor persona, + a bit of Goldfinger and Mystri. There's a Brotha Nick that still DJ's in Bristol - is this the same dude? - his radio voice sounds totally different.

Roots and Shoots

This show on BCFM had a couple of good shows in 2007 on the subject of pirate radio, covering off-shore and land based stations. One of them features a clip of BS1 Radio. Thanks to Terry Starr for passing the links on, he features in the shows and wrote many reports for Anoraks UK and other news letters in the late 80s....

The first one is the Christmas '95 show. They definitely were not on Galaxy in 97, that was around the time they blew up big with Reprazent. The galaxy show ran till about March 96, I think? Respects to Logix.

Yeah, that makes sense Rich. I wish I could find my tape of the one where Krust played a wicked remix of Set Speed that was never released :(
