We’re nearly at the end of January now, the Tax Return has been done, the month survived with next to no work and the snow has nearly gone at last (surely ?!) but there was still time for one last Xmas present to arive in the studio for me, kindly sent on by Rich and Ros who listen usually on a Saturday each week. Thank you ! I’ve used a picture of it along side this blog and as you can see it is a perfect gift for the host of your weekly soul show here at Gateway ! This week’s two hours worth is crammed full of almost forgotten goodies from the classic 70s & 80s eras, some chosen by you, others selected by me digging into my memories of DJing on the radio and at gigs around that time. Let the playlist below whet your appetite and relax in the warmth of your own home to listen again online at 5pm this evening …
