Sheffield History Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 I used to love the old Sheffield pirate stations So much better than the current ones to choose from Asterix and Space broadcasting from the high rise flats at Norfolk Park did the Sheffield city proud, playing some excellent music At the time it was the only way for youth to access the kind of music they wanted to hear Fantasy FM and Hardcore FM - Brilliant stations Great stuff..

Sheffield History Posted March 21, 2007 Author Share Posted March 21, 2007 Yeah SCR was good They did so well because they played music that people wanted and could identify with At the same time Radio 1 still had the old DJ's on there doing their stuff from 20 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
