| Comment / History:- |
| Andy was a well-versed DJ who had been known by the Radio K team for a number of years, often staying at John Langston’s and Maggie’s house located in South Benfleet, Essex, not far from Buster’s house.Andy soon became a highly-regarded presenter on Radio North Sea International, participating in its final broadcast during the 1970 General Election campaign. It was the same campaign that culminated in the jamming of all pirate radio stations.In between jobs Andy would visit Buster and use his facilities to make taped shows for Radio Kaleidoscope.
When Radio Caroline re-appeared in the form of the “Ross Revenge”, the J.O and the Radio Kaleidoscope team were quick to accept an offer to join the tender boat on its “Milk Run”, to the new vessel. Despite the bad weather all were able to board the ship on the day of its first transmission.
In the more recent years Andy has been heard broadcasting on Radio Orwell, Ipswich as well as BBC Radio Norfolk, http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/tv_and_radio/localradio_index4.shtml BBC Radio Norfolk
