Tape recording machine

This tape recorder was used to record the 24/7 live transmissions from the Pirate Radio Station Radio Free Belfast manned by Civil Rights and People’s Democracy members during 1969-70. A life line for the people behind the Barricades. These informative transmissions were mixed with humorous tongue and cheek Political Statements, Traditional Music Requests, Rent Strikes, Army Curfews and RUC Raids.
