Simon Dee ( Carl Henty-Dodd ) was the first pirate radio
disc jockey upon radio Caroline.
Radio Caroline being one of the various off-shore radio
stations which broadcast pop music to Britain during the
period 1964 to 1967.
Before working for Radio Caroline he had done a string of
jobs. At one time been vacuum cleaner salesman, and had
run a coffee bar.
After his days on Radio Caroline he worked for Radio
Luxembourg, and then hosting some kind of television show .
His meteoric rise towards,
and fall from stardom,
should be a lesson to us all.
I meet Simon Dee during the summer of 1974 when he just
turned up at a meeting of Greenpeace ( London ).
During that period the focus of the group was French
atmospheric nukiller bomb tests at Mururoa Atoll in the
pacific.
