The DJs and engineers who worked on Radio Essex have probably kept in touch more than those of any other offshore
station. They have regular get-togethers (see here and here
for pictures of a couple of previous reunions). On 1st November 2008 they came together again, this time at
The Dog & Duck, Plucks Gutter, in Kent. Back
in the sixties Sue Cash, then a young radio fan, was a regular correspondent to the DJs on board Knock John. At that
time her mother was running the pub. Now Sue is the landlady and was delighted to welcome the Essex team, their partners, a
couple of other radio friends and The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame for lunch. The pub had
held a Halloween party in the same room the previous night, which explains the bats, spiders and other spooky paraphenalia
still in evidence. Many thanks to Roma and Gerry Zierler for some of these photos.

A number of the Radio Essex broadcasters used different names later in their careers when they joined
other, larger, stations. They are probably better known by these later names but, as in our previous coverage of the station,
they are referred to by the names they used during their time with Radio Essex on this page.
