Just released in the UK, Australia and New Zealand is the new pirate
radio movie 'The Boat That Rocked', a comedy about the British pirate
radio scene in the early 1960's. It's coming your way soon too.

It's produced by New Zealander Tim Bevan, who was just 8 years old
when Radio Hauraki burst onto the Kiwi airwaves in 1966....and to
celebrate the movie and it's Kiwi connection, we've got a copy of the
original CD 'A Fresh Pacific Wind - Radio Hauraki 1966-1970' as the
prize in our Easter 2009 competition!
