Soulfulsolutions Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) Instantly recognised the fabulous horn intro to Billy Butler & Chanters "I can't work no longer" on Drive Time on the way home, surprise to hear a northern classic on mainstream news programme, someone was clever enough to use it as backing to a news piece about the chancellors November statement, clever given the politics and title! Anyone on here in that BBC production team? If so schedule more northern between 4.30 and 6 every day, ta, Lee Edited December 5, 2013 by SoulfulSolutions Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest in town Mikey Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Funny choice, as his statement has everybody under 50 working longer . Is that irony Alanis? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Soulfulsolutions Posted December 11, 2013 Author Share Posted December 11, 2013 All this reminds me I heard Jock Mitchell - Not a chance in a million, in a café in Oakhampton a few years back, it was on the radio not CD, odd thing was the café staff clearly weren't Soulies but they were merrily going about my full English appreciating the soulful backing.......... sunny side up!
