Nick Richards From Rayleigh, Essex, Nick was first heard on Radio Caroline on 9th September 1979 and then regularly from the beginning of November. He was one of the disc-jockeys who were rescued by lifeboat when the mv Mi Amigo sank in March 1980 although he was not heard on that historic final broadcast because he was busy at the time “blowing down a dirty old pipe in the engine room, trying to get a pump going”. His memories of that night can be found here. After working as a security guard, he moved to Ireland and South Coast Radio. A spell of illness forced him home and in January 1985 he rejoined Caroline, on its new ship the Ross Revenge (see The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame ‘Eighties Supplement’). After nearly a year with Caroline, he returned to Ireland to station WBEN in Cork. After many years on Cork's 96FM, he currently presents the afternoon show on C103. We have some recent photos of him, taken at a 2018 DJs' reunion, and an interview carried out by Ray Clark. more
