Pirate Alley UK has it's beginnings back in the 3rd age of offshore radio when I was producing a magazine entitled "Offshore Print-Out"

It started off as nothing more than a photocopied one-sided piece of A4 sent out to a few like-minded friends. After some publicity from the late Buster Pearson in his Monitor magazine the print-out grew up and turned into a fully-fledged monthly magazine with a circulation of several hundred copies per month distributed across Europe.
