Over
our many years of broadcasting we have collected 100's of hours of
video footage!
Although
a lot of it was already out there it was a bit hard to put it all
together. So now a new page as been launched with over 40 PCRL clips
that date back to 1986. More will be added if I get some response
from some of the thousands of people in the footage!
25
years of music - come on crowd of people where are you now!
PCRL had a strong tradition where it's DJ's played honest music that
spoke to the heart and the soul. This website was launched in
May 2002 as an aid to the radio station's programming but since the
station's demise, it has remained as a reminder of what was missing
from UK radio today, that's a sense of worth. Our black history
calendar brings you up to date for most of the events for this
day/month going back nearly 2500 years! it includes musical
performers' deaths and births. This includes; blues, jazz, jug-stars,
soul, r&b, reggae, rap, soca, gospel, opera, painters, film
producers, music producers, sports personalities and civil rights
activists. The History pages are now our press cuttings
and are being updated regularly. Remember PCRL lives on though YOU
the community and although we are no longer on the air we can still
speak to the world through this website. If you have something to say
then contact us now. Thank you for your interest and we hope you can
find some favorite memories of an era lost that was fought for by Cecil
Morris & his friends with a freedom of speech and music
never achieved previously in the United Kingdom.
The
website costs money to run and has no paying adverts. If you would
