Derek Pearson Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 For the last 5 years or so I've done a 2 hour soul show on Bradford's community radio BCB 96.7FM every month. Playing some new releases, a bit of northern, 70s 80s, some garage all sorts really. About a week ago my girlfriend suggested said why didnt I do a 2 hour northern special. Mmm good idea why didnt I think of it? So last night I recorded the show to be broadcast on 96.7FM unfortunately it only has a reception area of about 10-15 miles. However it can be heard via the internet on www.bcb.yorks.com obviously you'll need realplayer and all that tackle. It'll be going out this saturday 21st @ 8-10pm so if you're stopping in and you remember try listen in. Hopefully I'll be at Sheridans Lifeline allnighter if I get all my floors sanded in time...If the response is good I might do a northern set every time. derek Played nearly 50 records on chunky black vinyl, alot of sixties midtempo and quite a few early 70s things. Name checked loads of friends as well hehehe. If I get chance I'll download 80 minutes of it onto CD.
Mike Posted August 19, 2004 Posted August 19, 2004 allright Derek sounds a good one just mention that have added show to the "revamped event guide" ( which now has a radio/tv category) as well for you as also a good chance to plug the new features of guide............ the front page event bit is more dynamic, which means that it counts down automatically as before but, it also now shows when less than 24 hrs to go the starting time and also... once it hits the "start time" of event/show it shows that the actual show/event is "NOW ON" idea being it works as a reminder for soul freaks like meself with memory like a teabag so if reading this and involved or know of decent soul radio/tv going ons , adding to guide could be a good thing for soul fans visiting (plus as guide syndicated to other web sites, available thru mobile phone, emailed to lists, etc etc cant do show any harm)

Guest Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 Listening at the moment, my husband's just joined me from downstairs. You're playing the Butlers, it has him out on the floor everytime to it. Great show. We're in London, wish there was one like this down here. Please post your playlist. And make it a regular event. How often is your show on?
Chalky Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 did anyone manage to tape the show? And you missed a good night at Sheridans Derek ;-)
Guest Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 Sorry Chalky wished we had, hope its on every week it was so good
Simon T Posted August 22, 2004 Posted August 22, 2004 did anyone manage to tape the show? I recorded it (1hr 51m, missed the first 10 mintues) whilst listening over the net. Because it was over a dial-up connection, there's the odd drop-out, but otherwise the quality is good. I could burn it on to a couple of CDs for you, if you're in dire need.

Geoff Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 One of the best things I've heard recently as there were a lot of stuff that was new to me. If you can put the programme up here that would be great. I noted down the tracks played from when I started listening. major lance - Without a doubt carl hall - What about you bobby wilburn i'm a dreamer johnny gilliam - Roomful of tears larry laster willie kendricks butlers - Laugh laugh little gi gi - I volunteer mr caldwell - Love bandit gene middleton - You can get it now zz hill - Make me yours clay hunt Since I lost you magnificent 7 - Never will I make my baby cry milt grayson - Your old standby mellow fellows - My baby needs me tommy soul - I'll be right here charades - You're with me all the way sharen clarke - A product of time carl hall - Mean it baby stormy - I won't stop to cry skip jackson - I'm on to you bobby taylor- There are roses somewhere I'm afraid I seem to have missed a couple. I hope it becomes a regular programme.
