Can you imagine a time when you could only listen to two hours of music a day, and that music was decided by the BBC and the Government? Well, that was the case in 1960 until some revolutionaries found a loophole in British law, which allowed you to broadcast any music so long as you were outside UK waters.
Taking to the high seas, a few freedom-fighters - armed with a transmitter, a ship and the desire to play music - set the scene for every young person in the 60s and every generation since. This was the backbone of the 1960s. Without it, we would never have heard any of the music we now identify as iconic to the 60s, nor would it have influenced so many musicians thereafter.
The offshore revolutionaries legacy is in the hands of only one station still broadcasting today; Radio Caroline. An exhibition at the British Music Experience 16th - 25th will give you a chance to see these pioneers at work.
