Dank Henk.
Ik prijs mij gelukkig dat ik destijds vaste luisteraar was. Caroline vond ik "te Engels".........Smaak hé.
In 1977 maakte ik met Tom Mulder een interview met Paul Kaye in Scheveningen.
Het was bestemd voor ons programma Poster. Delen van dat interview hebben we toen gebruikt.
Maar het hele interview is nooit uitgezonden ! Het duurt 46'.
De stem van Tom heb ik destijds op de achtergrond gehouden omdat we zijn vragen niet gebruikten. Dat deden we in de latere montage. Nu heb ik het interview wel even met de compressor bewerkt zodat Tom z'n vragen wel redelijk te horen zijn. De link zit in de tekst.

biografie Paul Kaye:
Paul Kaye (sometimes spelt Kay) The first voice to be heard on Radio London, Paul was born in Barnstaple, Devon, on 17th February 1934. After leaving school he worked in repertory theatre and in 1952 became stage manager to a theatre company in Nairobi. He volunteered for the Kenyan police and saw active service during the Mau Mau emergency. He began working on the country's radio network and later broadcast in both Cyprus and Canada. When Radio London launched at the end of 1964 it was the first UK pirate station to operate a news service and Paul was the news chief. His bulletins were on the half-hour, which conveniently gave him just enough time to re-write the BBC news which was broadcast on the hour. Although the news was obtained from the BBC, it was presented in a very different manner. Introduced by jingles and with each story interspersed with Morse code (the beeps spelling out B-I-G L, the station's nickname) Radio London's bulletins were nothing if not dramatic. But they were also authoritative, largely because of Paul Kaye's presentation skills. Normally the Radio London news service only consisted of these hourly bulletins but in January 1967 Paul travelled to Paris to report on Prime Minister Harold Wilson’s unsuccessful negotiations to take Britain into the EC (or Common Market as it was then known). Paul also presented programmes, especially in the early months of the station, and his theme was Town Talk by Ken Woodman and his Piccadilly Brass, a tune later used on the BBC by Jimmy Young. In August 1967 the Marine Offences Act became law and the first voice on Radio London became the last as Paul closed the station down. He was later on Radio Luxembourg, Yorkshire TV and he presented a jazz programme on Radio Hallam, Radio Tees and Pennine Radio. He died on 4th November 1980.
