Smooth Fm

[Guest little glyn]

can anyone shed any light as to where richard searlings saturday show on smooth fm has disappeared to, and any reasons why it has been taken off the air permantely,and/or is he likely to resurface elsewhere

Look in freebasing Richard finished about 3 weeks ago,

They now play a motown show (north west) not bad really but only Motown,Don't know the Dj's name but he plays a few good tunes,nothing earth shatering though,best to listen after 22.00 for Andy Peebles soul train,he plays a few Northern tunes but loads of other good soul tracks,Played last night a Smokey Robinson version of The Jackson Five "I Want You Back" totally diferent version and on Smokeys new album(give it a listen)

Hello Grant, Just so happened I listened to Andy Peeble's Soul Train last evening and was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. He played a great set of tracks, most I'd never heard before. Almost forgot that there's soul music outside of northern. Ade

I listen to Andy Peebles show most weeks and the quality of some of the records/tracks is always very good,

Remember Andy Peebles from his Piccadilly 261 shows in the 70's,He moved to Radio 1 later,But good to have him back on proper radio
