Philip Bendall of Radio Jackie and Radio Concord talks to Mark Wakely

Philip Bendall - Radio Jackie and Radio Concord: This is the podcast where we talk to some of the people who helped shape the radio landscape of the UK back in the 1970’s and 80’s by fracturing the occasional law and becoming Land Based Radio Pirates. This episode we talk to Philip Bendall or Philip Day as some of you may have known him. He talks about his time at Radio Jackie and Radio Concord among others. He has shared transmission sites and studios with some of the major charters of the pirate radio scene at the time, so why not sit back and enjoy a little trip back to London of the 1970’s.
