Radio 270 sept 1966 Neddy Noel Miller Noel is an Australian, born in 1943. As DJ “Neddy” Noel he spent five years working on various stations in his home country before coming to the UK.
“In 1965, while working at 2UE in Sydney, a producer friend of mine at the ABC suggested I try my luck in Britain with the BBC. So, with nothing but a few names, not many dollars, and my wife (at the time) Carole, I arrived in England in early 1966. I did several auditions for the BBC but nothing was likely for at least six months. Meanwhile Carole got a job with Pye Records and met up with Artist & Repertoire Manager, Cyril Stapleton."
"Cyril could not be involved in offshore radio because of his position with Pye Records but his wife had shares in Radio 270, along with his friend Wilf Proudfoot who was one of the main shareholders. Proudfoot, who was a local MP and also owned a couple of supermarkets in Scarborough, was unhappy with the way the radio station was taking shape.
