Sweet for You

Once home of the quaintly named “Eve the Woman’s Magazine of the Air” the Red Sands Fort was hardly the idyllic place housewives pictured in their minds eye

A broken down rusty old & abandoned WWII Army Fort, manned by a crew that stripped down to wash & bathe in seawater. Meals were the most basic of culinary delights cooked up on the old wartime ranges

Radio 390 a Sweet Music Easy Listening Station began its turbulent short history in June 1964 & had by the summer of 1967 closed down

Now once again music & entertainment come again from the same Fort used by Radio Pirates 7 nautical miles off Whitstable in Kent

Red Sands Radio will pay tribute to the Pirate Radio Stations of the 1960’s that so much influenced how Commercial Radio developed in Britain. There will be some of the original programs & radio documentaries with a mix of “The Best of Yesterday & Today”

Radio Red Sands launches on 14th July 2007 comes to air
