When you have 50 years of radio career behind you, as happens to Pirate, there are few things that surprise you and few secrets that remain for you to discover; but the good thing is that the world of rock never stops generating amazing stories.
That’s why today he told us about one of the most spectacular photo sessions in the entire history of rock: The photo session that forever united The Clash and the Northern Irish city of Belfast. But let’s start at the beginning: It’s the year 1977 and the band led by Joe Strummer He went to that town to participate in the festival of Ulster Hallbut this was finally cancelled.
With nothing else to do there, the photographer Adrian Boot (who had come only to cover the event) had a surprising idea: Proposing to the British band a photo shoot in a war zone. And in 1968 he had exploded what is known as “Northern Irish conflict” between the Protestant Northern Irish – who wanted to continue belonging to the United Kingdom – and the Catholics, who wanted to join the state of Ireland.
This war lasted exactly 30 years and claimed thousands of lives.. But 1977 was a particularly tense time and this is reflected in the images immortalized by Boots where The members of the band are seen surrounded by destroyed streets, tanks or armed soldiers. Despite the shocking nature of the images and the fact that they are celebrated as some of the best taken of a music band, not all band members feel comfortable with them.
For example, to Mick Jones thought using a war-torn city to promote himself was frivolous and disrespectful.; and she made him feel “like a dick.” Strummer It hasn’t gotten that far, but yes He admits that it made him uncomfortable to be photographed with armed soldiers. Be that as it may, those snapshots are music history.

Juan Pablo Ordúñez “The Pirate” He is a true icon of radio and music journalism in Spain who has been active since 1971. He has interviewed the most important legends in the history of Rock, among others; AC/DC, Metallica, Scorpions, KISS, Ringo Star, Slash, Lemmy, Iron Maiden, Bon Jovi and a very long etcetera.
After many previous adventures, In 2012 he started on RockFM with El Pirata y su Banda, from where it awakens the country with the best Rock classics and large doses of humor and fun.
Every day they accompany you:
José Sayago: Unlike other fake professional couples, Sayago has been a real friend of El Pirata for more than 25 years, something that translates into enormous complicity on the air. In the words of the Pirate himself “he will never die of hunger since it works for everything.” In fact, he is the one who, in addition to co-hosting the show, guesses the model of the cars just by listening to the sound of their horns when he transforms into “The Horn Crazy” or gives valuable advice for life with his “Pocket Philosophy.” .
Raquel Piqueras: producer and right hand of the Pirate. She has a knack for spotting where the next viral or meme that everyone will be talking about will come from. Rocker by birth, she is always aware of current Rock news; The networks have no secrets for Raquel and the term “multitasking” was invented by her.
Álex Clavero “El Francotirarock”: renowned screenwriter, monologist and sometimes actor. He has the ability to see “beyond” things and then condense it into two or three minutes of absolute magic. Any person, news, custom, animal or thing that comes within range can be prey for its target. Cuidadin.
Javier Burguera: executive producer and left-hand man of the Pirate. You will always see him with papers, dumbbells or a whip. You never know. Nicknamed ‘the muscular one’ by El Pirata, he is in charge of bringing order to this madness. He is also the Pirate’s personal assistant on technological and computer issues. If he doesn’t raise his hand, no one takes a step in the program.
Pablo Díaz-Torres and Fernando Villena: They are Andalusian scriptwriters. One a millennial, the other a vegetarian. Pablo is funny. Fernando was. Their mission is to help make the Gang even funnier if possible and convince the Pirate to stop sending memes by SMS.
Nano Jaquotot: Producer and one of the all-purpose bad guys you’ll meet all over the radio. If you don’t catch him working, you can find him at the gym, riding a motorcycle or, of course, at a concert!
