I’ve got in a right old mess with my blogging lately ! I’ve just spent ten minutes trying to figure out where I left off before my recent post-holiday blog and sure enough you are missing two playlists and about three weeks worth of gig updates -whoops 🙁
Anyway, for the keenest listener who follows my shows intently, here is the playlist for the show first broadcast on May 22nd and repeated last Saturday, when I had a cheeky little listen myself for half an hour whilst driving to a gig ! Below that is the fully up to date gigs list, which I will repeat in a further blog before this Saturday’s repeat play, just in case a couple more pop up.
Remember, “The Old Gits Soul Show” is on LIVE every Monday at Gateway from 7-9pm and then repeated on Saturday between 5 & 7pm – this week you will hear last Monday’s show from 29th May – I hope you are keeping up with all this !! Back to normal soon … 😉
