Radio Caroline and Caroline South supports
Oxfam's Big Noise petition to lobby rich nations to engage in fair
trade practices. This includes an on-air advertising campaign and
encouragement for you to visit the Make Trade Fair web-site and
sign the petition. We also reproduce this statement from Oxfam.
Oxfam's getting as many people as possible to
sign a petition - the big noise - to stop people getting ripped
off in poor countries due to unfair trade rules. Bono and Kofi
Anan are already supporters, along with thousands of other people
world-wide. They still need your support and that of your friends,
family and colleagues to send a strong message to our leaders that
unfair trade is inexcusable. Click

Tribute to Tony Allan from
Tom Anderson
Tony Allan was one of the first presenters I
met when I joined Caroline in 1976. I
remember arriving on the Mi Amigo for my first stint, having never
been on air before. Yes I was scared shitless!
Tony was introduced as Mrs Allan, Doris to
his friends, and I was warned (I forget by whom), that he could be a
bit of a bitch! So
my first show arrived and all I wanted to do was to be left on my own
to see if I could do it! In
the corner of the studio sat Tony, who showed no sign of leaving, even
when asked. I think
he actually got perverse pleasure at the thought of watching me
tremble.
I asked him to leave me to get on with it, he
ignored me. I
demanded! He told me to ignore him! In
the end, despite being the nervous new boy I politely said "Fuck
off and leave me alone Tony." To
my surprise he left. I did the show, and afterwards I apologised for
being so rude. to which he replied that I had done the right thing and
that he respected that.
From that day on Tony and I got on famously.
I have him to thank as my greatest influence, and for encouraging me
to always push the boundaries and to speak my mind. There
were many who were nervous of Tony's open Gay stance and I was
constantly warned about him, however when I last spoke to Tony (on his
50th birthday,) he said that probably the reason that we had remained
good friends was because he never slept with me!!
We had a lot in common, same initials (T.A.),
we had the same birthday, and we presented the double header on the Mi
Amigo (The Sunday Joint...no it was not reffering to roast lamb!)
I hope that everyone can remember
Tony for all that he gave to everybody for so many years.
I for one will never forget a
lovely, lovely man, A fantastic, talented broadcaster and a great
friend.
Lots of love Tony, wherever you've gone
Tom Anderson July 11th 2004
