FROM SUNDAY JUNE 29th, NORTHERN SOUL COMES TO SOLAR RADIO!
A brand new show exclusive to Solar Radio starts from Sunday June 29th, when I launch a two hour programme of collectors’ soul.
I ‘m taking my “Soul Sauce” programme to Solar Radio having first established the brand in the early 80s , and the show will be split into two distinct segments.
In hour one , between 4 and 5pm , “A Cellar full of Soul” I will be retracing the glory years of Northern Soul , recounting experiences from some of the legendary venues such as the Wigan Casino, The Manchester Ritz , the 100 Club and the Twisted Wheel, as well as all that’s making the scene so vibrant to this day.
A fast moving, uplifting blend of the very best 60s rare soul that makes “Northern Soul” a worldwide phenomenon, and has inspired a feature film to be released later this year.
Then, at 5pm, we switch the mood to a deeper selection of my favourite all time soul tracks in an hour called “Rare….and well done”. Expect the unexpected, a heady mix of esoteric soul sides from any era – as long as they are top quality soul, they will be featured in this hour.
“ This is something I ve been thinking about doing for quite some time, and Solar Radio is the obvious vehicle for what I hope will be a programme that listeners welcome. The first hour brings a dedicated Northern Soul hour to the station, while in the second hour I m looking to feature many hidden gems from my collection, with no particular regard to their vintage – as long as they are stunners , they will be featured in a hour that applauds great soul, whether by well known or more obscure talent”.
Solar Radio can be heard via live streaming at www.solarradio.com , as free-to-air service on Sky channel 0129, and via the Solar Radio apps for Android and iPhone and on the TuneIn app.”
