Jerry (hippo) Hipkiss Gfm Morning Drivetime Show

[Dave Thorley]

The last few mornings I have been listening to Jerry's show on Gloucester FM as I have been working on my barn converstion.

I know he is an old mate of mine, but what a great show he does each and every day.

For those that don't know Jerry, he DJ'd at Yate allnighter nearly as long as I did, has forgatten more than most of us know about black music and has continued to play soul music on radio and in clubs in gloucestershire ever since.

His show is a nice mix of R&B, Reggae, Northern, Modern, Boogie 8am-11am everyday. He does a pure northern set from 9am-9.30 in every show, playing classics and lesser know tunes. In the last week he's played stuff a diverse as Calvin Williams-Lonley you'll be to Weather Report-Birdland and some great new indie soul releases.

GFM is a local community station in Gloucester with a signal that reaches about 20 miles, but you can listen live on line. https://www.gloucesterfm.com/gfm_schedule_index.php It's the nearest thing you'll find in the UK to a black music station. Also on wednesday nights another old mate Leon Brown does the 'Northern Soul Show'

Well worth a listen and a great way to get your soul fix everyday.

Have to agree with Dave on this, Jerry does a great show. Always listen if I'm working from home and always tune in if I'm heading down the M5. When we're at Soulfusion Jerry aways comes in during set, listens and then asks for the tunes; if there CDR's then he takes them away and low and behold there being played the next week on the show.

Andy Gilespy does a great House show and as Dave's also mentioned there's aways the friendly voice of Leon, thumping out stomping Northern for two hours.

These local radio stations need our support, taking to one of the directors last year he commented on just how much the Internet Radio side cost's, so the revenue in from advertising is crutial.

There's a dodgy advert being played on GFM at the moment, worth listening to just to hear the guy pronounce Adi Pountians name
