So where did the pirate radio station come from?

Their broadcasts are illegal.

They've turned the tops of London Tower Blocks into fortresses.

A white radio station is a station that is illegal.

There is this growing need for people that wanted to do their own style of radio.

Loads and loads of pilots came on playing black music, soul music.

Steve Walsh, Tim Westwood, George Pan, Paul Trouble Anderson.

Kiss as a pirate went from zero to hero in just no so at all.

Some of them introduced ease and ecstasy into the whole mix.

I discovered going to Ibitha when you're empty of kiss.

There is nothing that you can't have.
