And so the August Bank Holiday Weekend approaches ! Inevitably, it’s looking like a very busy few days in Neil-World, so with all my extra commitments lined up I shall be taking a very rare bit of time out from Gateway this coming Monday, though one of my pre-recorded “special” shows will be going out for you to enjoy again at the usual time of 7pm ! Talking of recorded shows, there’s a second chance to hear last Monday’s “Old Gits Soul Show” on Saturday at 5pm – and if I do say so myself it’s an absolute belter ! Take a look at the playlist below then tune in to hear the tracks in all their glory… By the time I am back with you “live” on the air, it will be September – can you believe that ?! – so it’s also time to start planning next month’s soulful social life with a look at the latest “Recommended Old Gits Nights Out” gig guide, also available below:
