25 Novembre 1967: Glenn Adams
Glenn Adams
Les stations de radio offshore des années soixante ont été soucieux de promouvoir leur étoile disc-jockeys.
They were booked to make personal appearances while ashore, interviews were arranged with the press and photographs were sent out to the listeners.
Ils ont été réservés à faire des apparitions personnelles lorsqu'ils sont à terre, des entrevues ont été organisées avec la presse et des photographies ont été envoyées aux auditeurs.
But this all changed with the passing of the Marine Offences Act, the law introduced to outlaw the offshore stations.
Mais tout a changé avec l'adoption de la Loi sur la marine infractions, la loi introduit à interdire les stations offshore.
Suddenly the promotional activity had to stop.
Tout à coup, l'activité de promotion a dû s'arrêter.

What a blast to see everyone again!
Qu'est-ce qu'un souffle à revoir tout le monde!
That experience on Caroline, my first radio gig, is still crystal clear in my mind - the tender trips from Amsterdam, the storms, reading the news on Robbie Dale's show, that six to nine pm slot of mine, especially The Two Ton Yellow Mustard Seed , those crazy shows of Johnnie Walker hanging off the side of the ship making contact with the 'Frinton Flashers', Spangles Muldoon's mop of peroxide hair and that bunkroom with the ship's spiral transmission mast at the foot of the bed radiating God knows what, and his unbelievably smelly socks, which, by their total potency probably negated the radiation worries.
Cette expérience sur Caroline, mon concert première radio, est encore clair dans mon esprit - les voyages d'appel d'offres d'Amsterdam, les tempêtes, la lecture des nouvelles sur Robbie Dale montrent que six à neuf sous h de la mine, en particulier les deux Ton Jaune Moutarde semences, ces spectacles fou de Johnnie Walker accroché à côté de la prise de contact du navire avec la «clignotants Frinton, paillettes Muldoon tignasse peroxyde et une cabine avec un navire spirale de transmission mât au pied du lit de la membrane Dieu sait quoi, et ses chaussettes incroyablement puant, qui, par leur puissance totale sans doute nié les inquiétudes de rayonnement.
Those dates you mentioned of my arrival and departure are spot on.

Carl Mitchell When the Marine Offences Act came into effect in August 1967, no one really knew how actively the authorities would pursue pirate disc-jockeys. Unlike the old days before the Act, when the station publicity machine would have gone into overdrive to promote a new presenter, now the DJs had to remain men of mystery. One of these was Carl Mitchell. At the time, we listeners knew nothing about him. Now it can be revealed that he was a 21 year old New Yorker, the son of a newspaper publisher, who was in Europe avoiding the Vietnam draft. Real name, David Carmichael, he joined Caroline South in September 1967 (*see note below) with no previous broadcasting experience and took over the late night show and responsibility for the news. He was a radio natural and immediately became one of the listeners' favourites. Known as “The Weird Beard”, a name previously used on American radio by the legendary Russ Knight, Carl appropriated Knight's jingle for his own use. There are some photos dating from his time on Radio Caroline here . According to Offshore Echo's magazine, his theme tunes were Green Onions by Booker T & The MGs and the Little Mack & The Boss Sounds version of In The Midnight Hour . (A number of people, including Declan Meehan, Paul Easton and Ian Hamilton have written saying that the Booker T track he used was actually Slim Jenkins' Place but radio historian Hans Knot informs us that Carl used that track later in his career, on Radio Northsea.) Carl stayed with Caroline until the closedown in March 1968, although he was on shore-leave at the time. After the closure he stayed in Holland. Hans Knot reports that he found a number of different ways to make ends meet: he had a phone answering service, organised bus tours to clubs and fashion shows around the country and he worked in discos. In 1970 Carl returned to sea when he joined Radio Northsea International (see The Pirate Radio Hall Of Fame 'Seventies Supplement' ). He stayed until the station ceased transmissions in September. He continued to live in Holland and advertised a book and record about the station, although neither was ever published. After unsuccessfully applying for citizenship of Belgium, Canada and the Isle of Man, Carl moved to Denmark. A hospital stay interrupted his career but he continued to work in clubs in that country and in Norway, before returning to the United States. At that time he lost touch with his radio colleagues in Europe. In March 2004 Roger Day was planning Caroline's fortieth birthday DJ reunion. He started to make enquiries about Carl, hoping to invite his old ship-mate to the party. Unfortunately he discovered some sad news. Carl had passed away some years before. Roger told The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame what he had found out: “Carl returned to New York and resumed his broadcasting career under the name 'Steve Michaels'. He also wrote human interest stories for the local newspaper and was a local candidate for city hall. In the eighties he organised a Future Fuels Challenge rally, featuring alternative energy vehicles racing cross country. About this time he was seriously injured in a head on collision. He moved to Florida then Ohio where he opened up a restaurant. In 1991 he passed away after a long illness and spent his final months at his sister's in Monticello, NY. Carl was a genuinely nice guy with a wicked sense of humour and we are all better for knowing him.” (Thanks to Roger for passing on this sad piece of news and to Hans Knot for providing much of the above information. The above photo dates from Carl's time with Radio Northsea International in 1970. *We previously said that Carl joined Radio Caroline in November 1967 but Nick Benning has written to point out that he has a recording of a Johnnie Walker programme, dated 1st October 1967, which features Carl reading the news which means that he must have joined in September. Apologies for the error and thanks to Nick for pointing it out.)
