Egg and Bacon Sizzlers

Long before streaming services and social media, thousands of listeners would wake up on Sunday morning and tune into Kool FM.

The familiar phrases, the relaxed atmosphere and the community spirit became part of the weekly routine.

The famous “Wakey Wakey Rise and Shine” and “Egg and Bacon Sizzlers” introductions became legendary among Kool FM listeners and remain some of the station’s most cherished memories.

The Soundtrack to Sunday Mornings

Featuring classic broadcasts from DJs Jinx, Chase, Q-Gritty and Jackknife, these recordings perfectly capture the atmosphere of Sunday mornings on pirate radio.

The sets often combined rolling jungle with a relaxed vibe that reflected the mood of listeners recovering from another busy weekend in the rave scene.

More Than Just Music

These recordings provide a fascinating snapshot of life during the golden age of UK pirate radio.

The shout-outs, banter and interaction with listeners reveal the close relationship between Kool FM and its audience.

It was radio made by the community, for the community.
