Radio Concord was a pirate radio station which broadcast from west London on AM 225, medium wave between 1972 and 1976.[1]

The station sometimes broadcast from a house in Maida Vale where "Joe Strummer" lived with the 101ers. This was a politicised counterculture station, and would comment on issues like Northern Ireland and housing rights.[2]
