Book Synopsis
Did you ever wonder why so much fantastic music started coming out of Britain in the 60s? Pirates did it. That's right, Pirates. The story of how they did it seems unbelievable, but it really happened. This book tells of Radio Caroline, and how a band of pirates changed the world of music forever.
