"""Growing up, I was familiar with the sounds of Radio Caroline and Radio Luxembourg, so I was very happy to find that Roger Day has now told his story and shared the many ups and downs of his broadcasting career. This book is full of photos and stories of his time on a variety of stations and is perfect for anyone who not only remembers ""Twiggy"" on pirate radio, but has followed him to Boom Radio where he still broadcasts regularly!"" - Amazon review ""As a fan of the film The Boat that Rocked, I was very intrigued to read this biography of the real events! It was a fascinating read filled with informative pictures and newspaper clippings. If you're a music fan, this is the book to read."" - Maddy Glenn"
