Our story

The pub came first. The radio and cameras followed.

Karen and Colin O'Reilly have welcomed locals and visitors to The Waterfront Pub since 9 July 2019. Colin had already been providing discos and karaoke since 1993, and guests kept asking how they could take his music home.

Royal Harbour Radio was the answer. The live cameras came next, letting former residents, holidaymakers, harbour lovers and people around the world keep a piece of Ramsgate close.

Songs about Colin, Karen and the O'Reilly family

Colin's songs are personal. “Babe Since Greenwich” was written for Karen; “Life's Better by the Harbour” celebrates the life they built beside Ramsgate's Royal Harbour.
