The Roaring Sixties

The Roaring Sixties

The Roaring Sixties were a UK band, an early incarnation of Family. Their members included Ric Grech, Jim King, Roger Chapman and John "Charlie" Whitney, who all joined Family, plus Harry Ovenall on drums. They were famous for the underground hit "We Love The Pirate Stations", which became popular on Radio Caroline and was banned by the BBC. They split up in 1966, becoming Family the next year with Whitney, Chapman, King and Grech being joined by Rob Townsend. UK-band-stub
