27th July 2013
Posted by Neil Matthew
Only three days of the school hols so far and already my head is spinning! Trying to balance getting the day to day stuff done and enjoying some fun time out with Nathan is always quite tricky and though the “fun” has gone well with trips to Adventure Island in Southend and a spontaneous trip to the Olympic Stadium for the athletics on free tickets, I am now waaaaaaay behind with jobs in “the office”! 🙁 However, last Monday, all was as normal and you can hear me presenting a super selection of soul, jazz-funk & disco from back then on the repeat play this evening at 5pm. I had another good response on Facebook, with many listeners chilling to the tunes in the garden after work! Why not search me out on there and join “The Old Gits Soul Show” group and join in some fun banter each Monday during the first airing of the show between 7pm & 9pm?
