Radio Caroline was the answer to a prayer and when the PTB gave in and allowed the Beeb to set up Radio 1, I was over the moon.I can remember the very first broadcast and the tune that Tony Blackburn played on the very first Breakfast Show which was Flowers in the Rain by the Move. |
i remember the whistling sound coming over the music as it faded away then gently came back -it was ruddy great
