Join one of the only Pirate Radio DJs still on ourairwaves for a fascinating look at a major culturalturning-point in Britain’s history in this the 50thanniversary year of the Summer of Love.

Now presenting his weekly ‘70s show onRadio 2, Johnnie is one of our best-known andloved DJs, but at the start of his career in the1960s he was at the heart of the off-shorepirate radio phenomenon where the DJs wereas much a part of Britain’s rock and pop musicrevolution as the musicians themselves.

Rooted in the bluegrass tradition, fearlesslycreative, and possessing a bold, dynamicsound, The Slocans have quickly become oneof the leading lights on Canada’s roots musicscene - their reputation built on energetic liveshows which blend lightning-fast and devilishlyintricate instrumentals with sawdust-thick vocals.

The ones to watch are Frank Evans on banjo;Adrian Gross on mandolin; Darryl Poulsen onguitar; and Alastair Whitehead on upright bass.
