It is with great regret, that we have to inform you Keith passed away on 12-Feb-16 following a long illness.

 

Keith was well know to the Radio Kaleidoscope team including BusterRoger Neil from Radio King. and Don Scott.

Keith wrote articles for Busters radio magazine “Monitor” about his time aboard as a DJ aboard Radio Caroline, he was also an accomplished musician.

Keith joined us again in 1983/4 on a boat trip visiting Radio Caroline (Ross Revenge) for the stations first broadcast, Keith enjoyed free radio so much that one year later he was aboard Radio Caroline broadcasting to the nation.. this was quite brave for someone who struggled with the motion of the ocean!!  Well done Keith…
