Movie - Pirate Radio finally released on U.S. Market

[BennieDingo]

Originally released as 'The boat that rocked' last summer in the UK -
It is based on the true story of Radio Caroline followed by several
other
offshore Pirate Radio ships that dotted off the coast of actually
several
Western European Countries.
In the mid 60's the BBC in the UK only contributed an hour a week to
Pop music at the time. And caused quite a musical void to the
younger
listeners in the UK. Many resorted to tuning in at night to the
popular
Rock station Radio Luxembourg. In 1964 an Irish Millionaire by the
name of O'Rahilly saw a financial opportunity to have a radio ship
anchored
in International waters just off the coast of England bringing
commercial
pop radio to a wanting audience.
The Radio Ship 'Mi Amigo' was launched and Radio Caroline was on the
air - and millions throughout the UK tuned in every day, and rapidly
gained
mass popularity over the lackluster BBC at the time.
Though the movie doesn't exactly follow thru on the factual storyline
of
Radio Caroline - The movie is a fun watch and some of the exploits not
to
give away the plot - from the accounts I have heard did actually
happen
aboard Radio Caroline.
If you like Mid 60's Rock and Roll the soundtrack to this movie would
be great to own if and when it is released.
