Up here in Sheffield the local BBC Radio Sheffield started a weekly experimental Soul show about 3 years ago with DJ Steve White. Over the months the amount of commercial stufff has fallen sharply as more and more Soulies caught on and started sending in requests. They also do a detailed 'Whats-On' diary to spread news of local Soul Nights, Weekenders and so on. It is now available on-line, and co-hosted with BBC Radio Leeds, and has recently joined with BBC Humberside, York and Lincoln to do the very first Radio Station All-Nighter. That's the power of Soul and the people who love it. Keep at it and good luck.
