    Craig Charles a fellow of real integrity. How this guy is still working is beyond me. His show is awful, it was better when snowboy was selecting but Lisa tarbuck Beata it hands down for interesting selections.

    Really looking forward to this event, quality crowd and residents, each with their own distinctive styles and always interesting guests that truly bring something different to the night.

    That's completely subjective, and purely a matter of taste.

    Thanks for sharing that, from the opening bars I knew it was something special. Totally agree that many genres can have soul, but although it may have been played with technical gusto, did the BBC orchestra have the belief in the music that makes any music soulful?

    I said it with tin hat in place, I am a fan, but not as knowledgeable as I want to be. Flamenco sketches is my favourite piece of music any genre, but it's the Coltrane section that really lifts it to another level. I think my point is actually this, Davis and be bop was about small groups, I was involved in a night recently and I related to the orchestra thing and thought, well I can't remember a single track played with strings. All small groups, perhaps a bit of brass, but all group based. It's just all a bit excessive to these ears, to rich and lacking rawness. So many of my favourite tracks have a sparse sound but do so much with it.

    Yeah and look who they got in to sing! A real legend.

    Interesting that we haven't had a prog proms, or a be bop special, perhaps a orchestral rendition of Miles David's sketches of Spain. The reasons simple, irrelevant and they have too much respect for those genres. Where as northern, well they don't care about offending us uneducated plebs. Reminded me of when James last played the Albert hall.

    Around half the capacity is now reserved with names on the door. Be early please or message me to avoid disappointment!
  15. Geeselad

    We've had a bunch on people message us, who are traveling a distance asking to reserve a place already. We really don't want any one traveling or otherwise to be disappointed as this is pay on the door event. Please either be early or message one of the residents if you're not.

    Neither can I mate, bring it on, judging by the response on social media this will be really busy, please be early folk!

    I'm not bothered who covers whatever song, it's the quality of the cover that interests me. I like wholesome music, not homogeneous, insipid snoozefests.
  18. Geeselad
    Thanks for posting Mike, I'm afraid I only got a few bars into this, the plastic production and insipid band is frankly an insult to any of the 60's muscle Shoals productions, just saying, for a friend

    It was big at soul function and other upfront event's ten years ago. He was Jimmy pages first choice for vocalist with the new yardbirds, who went onto be Zeppelin, so definitely a rock singer.
  20. Geeselad
    Excellent release, might well treat myself to one of these.
  21. Geeselad

    Myself, Jim and Luci are on the wireless this Thursday, expect to hear a fine selection of soul, funk and Rhythm and blues.

    Really informative, always wondered about this release, the jazz influence is obvious.

    Speaking to folk over the weekend it's seems we have a real buzz on this one, capacity is limited to around 200, advice is be early people. We're trying to offer a little something different here, not only musically but in terms of venue this isn't a local working mens club, its an underground basement night club, with a state of the art sound system, that should create an unbelievable atmosphere on the night.
