PIRATE RADIO MOVIE FINALLY HITS U.S. FILM MARKET

Originally released as 'The boat that rocked' last summer in the UK -
It is based on the true story of Radio Caroline followed by several other offshore Pirate Radio ships that dotted off the coast of actually several Western European Countries. 
In the mid 60's the BBC in the UK only contributed an hour a week to
Pop music at the time.  And caused quite a musical void to the younger listeners in the UK.  Many resorted to tuning in at night to the popular Rock station Radio Luxembourg.  In 1964 an Irish Millionaire by the name of O'Rahilly saw a financial opportunity to have a radio ship anchored in International waters just off the coast of England bringing commercial pop radio to a wanting audience. 
The Radio Ship 'Mi Amigo' was launched and Radio Caroline was on the
air - and millions throughout the UK tuned in every day, and rapidly gained mass popularity over the lackluster BBC at the time. 
Though the movie doesn't exactly follow thru on the factual storyline of Radio Caroline - The movie is a fun watch and some of the exploits not to give away the plot - from the accounts I have heard did actually happen aboard Radio Caroline. 
If you like Mid 60's Rock and Roll the soundtrack to this movie would
be great to own if and when it is released. 
If you would like to read part of the true story of Radio Caroline and these other broadcasting legends Rock-it Radio has a webpage dedicated to them at:  http://www.rockitradio.net/pirate.html
