WILL WIL WEL - Harrys Orchestra  A track on the CD's The Veronica Story and We Love the Pirate Stations, details as previous. The show was presented by Will Luikinga, and the writing credit for this theme is given to Will. Check the similarity with Will's theme Chasing Moonbeams - The Tornados   There's no such thing as a Harry's Orchestra, Harry was (and still is) a one armed bandit used by Will in his radio game show. It is thought that Will, a musician and record-producer himself, used the original Tornados recording, put it through a phaser and added extra bass and some synth to make it sound a little different.
