Thread for thrilling us with the places you’ve been. I’ll start.
1981 or 2 I’m living with punk squatters in London. I’m also working with a pirate station called Our Radio. My big contribution was an interview with the press officer of Sinn Fein – maximum provocation to the Home Office.
This part of the story I wasn’t a part of, but what evuh. So on broadcast night members of Our Radio go onto the roof of a tower block to set up the transmitter and the cassette deck that played the program. It was a building they’d used before. One noticed movement in a stairwell – it was the law. So they began racing down the stairs while the authorities ran down the other stairwell to catch them at the bottom. Then Our guys crossed through a hallway to the same stairs the Man just went down. Then they calmly descended all innocent. They got grabbed and questioned, but let go. Good times.
