At the end of 2018 The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame heard from Peter Robinson. He wrote: “I have a video that my father, Douglas Robinson, recorded when he was Customs and
Excise officer in Ramsey, Isle of Man, which has some footage of Mick Luvzit's wedding day on Radio Caroline. Many pop stars came through Ramsey and I know those years with the Essex Girl supply
ship to Radio Caroline were some of the best years in his life. Happy days. Dad passed away in December 2011 and he left lots of cine film. I have had them professionally digitised. This came up and it so great to be able to share it
with others.”
We are very grateful to Peter for sharing it with us. Also appearing in the film are Mick's bride Janet and her brother, former DJ, Ray Teret. We also spotted a fleeting glimpse of Caroline North liaison
man George Hare, standing at the back of the Essex Girl. Can anyone identify any of the other people in the film?
The original footage was silent but Kenny Tosh has added a soundtrack of Mick Luvzit's 1966 single A Long Time Between Lovers, and stuck a few extra still photos on the end. His version can be seen at the bottom of the page.
