POP WENT THE PIRATES – NEW UPDATED EDITION
SHIPROCKED Life on the Waves with Radio Caroline
While working in a safe and predictable job as an IT engineer, Steve Conway

Caroline. One thing led to another, and after a late night job offer, Steve
found himself on Caroline, firstly as a newsreader and then progressing to
become programme director.
This is the story of Steve’s life on the airwaves, the radioship’s constant
battle for survival and its eventual dramatic shipwreck, in which Steve and
his companions narrowly escaped death.
