Born out of loads of youngsters not being able to go home so wrecked at that 
time in the morning, it kinda started at motorway cafes on the M1, we had some 
blinders at Woodall Service but the police soon moved in and stopped it all.

Not sure about the car park parties, loads of ravers from the city centre used 
to go to Sonny's blues in Chapeltown for afterhours around 91.

Was that in the early days Rob? I remember people having Car Park parties with 
pirate station blurting after the clubs had kicked out at 2am, always on the 
edge of Leeds, got so big the police blocked them all off for a couple of weeks 
and killed the scene.

Hiya Martin,

Manchester had soul and reggae pirates but don't recall a techno/house one but 
I'm going back a long time to 88ish when I was there for a year or so but I 
could have missed 'em on the dial. They might have been more prevelant in the 
early nineties as jungle broke.

Leeds, has had pirates as long as I can remember and still does. The main focus 
was soul and reggae but the N.O.W. Crew/DJ Martin and others used to be on 
playing a real mixed bag of music inc hiphop, bleep, disco, techno etc

Might be some usefull information here about the UK scene here

It could be loads of tracks but I think that's the point, Toddla's dad is a 
raver :)

Hi,

A slight tangent to this. Does anyone know if there is a pirate radio culture 
in Detroit ? Would be interested to listen in if they stream over the Internet.

That Toddler T reminds me of Let Me Be Your Fantasy by Baby D more than 
anything else.

Are there many pirate stations still going Rob? Got a few early Rinse things 
that are good but I can't seem to listen for longer than 5 minutes now it's 
gone legit, too many shout outs and rewinds!
