Nigel Harris As Stuart Russell, he had been heard on Radio Caroline for many years from the mv Mi Amigo. Following the sinking of the Mi Amigo, he was involved in unsuccessful attempts to launch a couple of other offshore stations, Radio Phoenix and Radio Paradise, but he returned to Caroline - now broadcasting from the mv Ross Revenge - in June 1984. Still calling himself Stuart Russell on this first stint, he only stayed for one month as, due to lack of a decent salary, he needed to find paid employment on land. It was three years before he returned and, when he came back, he had a new name. His real first name is Nigel and occasionally other DJs had referred to him on air as “Nigel, I mean Stuart” so he now became known as Nigel Harris, the name he still uses. Nigel stayed with Caroline until the end of its time at sea, becoming the last programme controller during that period. Following the final maritime transmissions, he joined the Voice Of Peace off the coast of Israel. Since then Nigel has been heard on Invicta FM, Breeze AM, EKR, KMFM and RFM. He currently presents a weekly show on the internet incarnation of Radio Caroline and, under his old name of Stuart Russell, on Quasar Radio. At the Amsterdam Radio Day in 2009 he was presented with an award by Caroline as a mark of appreciation of his 33 years of loyal service to the station (see photos). That same year he published an excellent book about his offshore career, Ships In Troubled Waters. Away from the radio, he is a church organist.
