Bill Rollins

Bill started his radio career with the pirate radio stations twelve miles off the Essex coast on an old wartime fort in 1965.

It is rumoured his family had originally sent him out there while the rest of the family planned to emigrate to Australia - unfortunately for Bill's family - the supply boat arrived before the family had packed their final suitcase and Bill was returned to dry land.

Over the years Bill has been heard on many radio stations voicing commercials and even we find this hard to believe! Bill used be a continuity announcer for religious programmes. He has been regularly broadcasting to the North Essex/South Suffolk area since 1990.
