Derek Pearson is really up for his debut set, I'm sure him and Roger will be programming a few classics from the much missed Wilton Ballroom Niters !!

Making the Long journey South down the A1, Chris Penn returns, sure to be some "rare as you dare" platters from the 60s/70s. As a former resident he knows the score to keep the dancers and deck peerers happy!!

I believe there's quite a lot of acetates reside in that particular area of Stoke.

A wonderful record and I'm told a UK copy now resides in a particular area of Stockport.

Yeah there is,what a production !!

Yeah one or three acetates in that hot bed area of Rare Soul collections 

Another stunner from Chris Penn, looks like we're in for a treat on Saturday!!
