The True story Of The Boat That Rocked - Ray Clark

Event type: Monthly Meeting
Date: Tuesday 6th October 2026
Time: 14:30
Venue: Leigh Community Centre

Ray Clark knows his stuff! He tuned in to Radio Caroline during its first weekend on air at Easter 1964 and became a loyal listener. He followed the offshore stations avidly and, in 1977, won top prize in a quiz on the subject held at the Flashback 67 convention. It was at this event that Ray met some of the people involved in ‘watery wireless’. Friendships developed and, some ten years later, Ray became an offshore disc-jockey himself when he joined Radio Caroline on the mv Ross Revenge, broadcasting as ‘Mick Williams’.

This is Ray's story of Radio Caroline
