Keith Skues
With his cardboard shoes under his arm Keith Skues is ready to go back to his pirate days. Will he be bringing his little red book onboard?
Keith Skues is "the jewel in the crown of East Anglian radio" - that's according to his fellow legend John Peel, and to his thousands of fans.
He is the only broadcaster in the world to have completed broadcasting with Forces Radio, the pirates, Radio Luxembourg, independent local radio and BBC national, regional and local radio.

His broadcasting career started the year the LV18 was built - both are in excellent form.

Keith was an original Radio Caroline presenter, and also broadcast on Radio London, before joining the Radio 1 launch party. It was there his vast knowledge of popular music was crystallised in the award winning 'The Story of Pop.'

Keith was programme director of Sheffield ILR station Radio Hallam in the 70s and 80s, and rejoined the BBC in 1995 where he can be heard throughout the East each weekday night between 10 and 1.

Pirate BBC Essex is pleased that Keith "Cardboard Shoes" Skues will be broadcasting his show across the region from LV18. And many of the songs you'll hear will be some of the 250,000 records from the Keith Skues vinyl library.
