Garry Kemp loved Radio Caroline so much he named his home after it.
The London native joined Radio Caroline South in December 1964 inbound from the BBC, where he did a light music show called Let's Go. Kemp was so taken by his new radio home he called his actual home in Monkton, England "Caroline Cottage." Proficient in seven languages, he did a multi-lingual show called Caroline Continental on Sunday mornings in addition to his regular daily shows.
Despite a huge fan base, Kemp left Caroline in September 1965 to do freelance work for the BBC. He was also heard on Britain Radio as Gordon Bennett. Kemp later moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he jocked on KXXO, KVOO, KWGS and KCMA. He was also heard on WNCN New York.
At last word, Kemp was a writer living in Camdenton, Missouri.
