Thanks It's a BBC change of programme. because they have a PC duty to keep its puplic informed regarding the corona virus . Why didn't they have enough news outlets? Beggars belief 1
Mark GF Posted March 28, 2020 Author Posted March 28, 2020 Thanks Winsford Soul for your reply. I was concerned he might not be well. The noise BBC are currently playing is dire pop - Richards show is much missed. 2
Joesoap Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 He's posted a previously unaired 2 hour show on Mixcloud this evening and is on Solar from noon tomorrow as usual.
Andybellwood Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) John Kane's show also dropped on BBC Radio Leeds , York & Sheffield . Craig Charles continues on BBC Radio 6 , Saturdays 6-9pm . https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000gl1b Edited March 28, 2020 by Andybellwood
Popular Post Mickey Finn Posted March 29, 2020 Popular Post Posted March 29, 2020 Don't see the logic of taking Richard off to provide more news updates but then playing pop. The people who normally tune in will turn off in droves and then won't get the updates - which are already coming thick and fast from a zillion other outlets anyway, and could easily be broadcast over whatever Richard and John are broadcasting. Not quite understanding the point of this editorial policy ... and causing people to worry that they might be ill is even irresponsible. 4

Popular Post Thinksmart Posted April 6, 2020 Popular Post Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Richard has now put up two 'lost' shows and an Aretha Franklin special on Mixcloud in the last two weeks. His Solar Radio show continues on Sunday lunch, first hour is drawn from the Friday/Mixcloud show and the second his 'Rare and Well Done' show with more Modern Soul and mellow spins. Good to have those and all the other wonderful Mixcloud shows at present. Thanks to everyone who takes the time to do them including Colin Curtis, Pete Smith, Roger Williams and so many more.

Andybellwood Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Good to see Eddie Piller's broadcasts on Totally Wired radio and mixcloud continuing ... 2
Ibiza Steve Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 ... also the Spinout Show at NCB Radio on line every Wednesday 6 till 8pm with Dave and Lee Grimshaw playing a good cross section of R&B, Mod, Hammond stuff, very refreshing music. 1
Djmelismo Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 (edited) Apart from the Richard Searling one - another soul show on BBC that seems to have been put on hold due to the current situation: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p001d79x/episodes/player In the latest show available Paul Miller promised to be back again in one week's time, but that didn't happen.
