PIRATE RADIO is based on a time in the 1960's when the uptight UK Government only allowed "acceptable music" (No Rock !) to be played over the BBC and how several Ships with powerful transmitters filled the British Airwaves with the latest tunes by The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and many many more and delighted the hell out of Teens and other open minded folks all across the UK ....

In the 1960s a group of 8 rogue DJs on a boat in the middle of the Northern Atlantic, played rock records and broke the law all for the love of music. The songs they played united and defined an entire generation and drove the British government crazy. By playing rock 'n roll they were standing up against the British government who did everything in their power to shut them down headed by the scutrag Minister Dormandy and his butt licking underling Twatt


Written by Ben Curtis (BLACKADDER) and starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Charlie Wilson's War) as the American DJ The Count and the colourful Rhys Ifans as the randy DJ Gavin plus Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz)starring as the obese but lovable Dave .....

PIRATE RADIO is like Almost Famous Meets Titanic with great Rock Music featured on the Soundtrack and lots of Libertarian Antics like Pot Smoking, Free Love, and overall freedom going on 24/7

Plus memorable and relevant quotes as.....

"To all our listeners, this is what I have to say - God bless you all. And as for you bastards in charge, don't dream it's over. Years will come, years will go, and politicians will do f**k all to make the world a better place. But all over the world, young men and young women will always dream dreams and put those dreams into song. Nothing important dies tonight, just a few ugly guys on a crappy ship. The only sadness tonight is that, in future years, there'll be so many fantastic songs that it will not be our privilege to play. But, believe you me, they will still be written, they will still be sung and they will be the wonder of the world. " - The Count

"Governments loath people being free..." - Quentin

"Thats the whole point of being the Government...If you don't like something...you simply make it ILLEGAL !" - Minister Dormandy


And I have to confess the uplifting ending made my eyes water as well !
