Derbyshire Free Radio Union

The Derbyshire Free Radio Union was a consortium of pirate radio stations in Derbyshire which was active from 1979 to 1991. Due to there being no hopes for a commercial radio station in Derby City until 1987, pirate radio was a staplement in the county during the late 1970's and 1980's.
