Another year older, another mighty feast at the Watermill ! It was all back to normal last Monday though with a live show from gateway 97.8 FM Studio One, but if like me on my birthday a couple of weeks ago you had to be somewhere else between 7pm & 9pm – fear not ! There’s still time to catch this week’s repeat play of the “Old Gits Soul Show” at 5pm today (and every Saturday) – so click across to the “Listen Live” button on the homepage here at www.gateway978.com and sit back and enjoy two hours of fantabulous soul, disco & jazz-funk from the 70s 80s & beyond. The playlist and an updated “Recommended Old Gits Nights Out” guide are copied in below for you too…
