In case anyone is interested I have posted up the final cellar full of soul on my site at soulfulhorwich.org.uk. Also the last 3 weeks soul sauce. I'll keep them up for a couple of weeks. Been interesting reading all the comments. All I can say is that I've have enjoyed the music he has brought me over the airwaves for the past 19 years that I've been in earshot and appreciate that no doubt some have their reasons for their less than favourable views. Not quite sure if I totally agree with Steve' comments about Andy Peebles (and Steve you know that I absolutely loved your show on soul24-7). I would have been a much happier chappie if Andy Peebles Soul Train on Piccadilly Radio could be picked up where I lived in Brighouse in the early seventies - I was very jealous of those who lived in Lancashire. His Saturday afternoon show a few years ago also used to well worth listening to IMHO.

It can be quite surprising what you hear on mainstream radio. By accident I had Michael Ball on the car radio whilst going to something the other Sunday morning and on comes Nancy Wilson's How Glad I Am and Johnny Taylor's Just The One I've Been Looking For - not exactly the obvious JT track for a mainstream easy listening show - first time I'd ever listened - would normally flick to CD. Also BBC Radio have been running a survey - get in there and tell them stop just playing Abba & Queen and the same two Pointer Sisters records.

Last night's show now uploaded to www.soulfulhorwich.org.uk Previous 5 weeks are also there.

If he'd got his act together, there would have been a day at Wembley for him - with Town in the playoff final (no chance now), but if Everton's management team saw yesterday's display he'd be lucky to make the squad for Everton Ladies Reserves. One good thing to come out yesterday is that I wouldn't be surprised to see Smithies on the bench in an England friendly by the end of the year. He pulled off one save that had Ray Clemence on his feet - had no chance with the two goals - inept marking for both.

Morning everyone, Hey Goodisonturf, when is that young Jutkewicz that we have on loan going to learn how to battle up front - he was a paper bag yesterday and seems to have less energy than I do! Anyhow, blustery over in Horwich. G

Last Thursday's show (and previous five weeks) is now available at soulfulhorwich.org.uk

Tonight's show and the past few weeks are available at https://www.soulfulhorwich.org.uk/tunes/

All being well I should be listening to you live today, having got my running out of the way yesterday, it's catch up time will all the jobs in the house.

Tonight's show (and previous weeks) are available for your listening pleasure at soulfulhorwich

His performance live on Ask The Lonely (about ten years ago at MEN Arena - may have been Nynex then) was one the greatest performances I have ever seen. Absolute showstopper. I'll post up the set John O'Donnell played on Saturday at Formby Hall in lookbacks. Double sadness today with Dee Dee going to heaven

Steve is back after two great weeks of Pete presenting his guys v gals shows. Last night's show uploaded to https://www.soulfulhorwich.org.uk/tunes/soulspectrum.html and Steve is certainly up to the challenge of broadcasting a great show. Excellent stuff. For more quality soul, don't forget to get down to Formby Hall in Atherton tomorrow night (Saturday 20th Sept)

Just a quick note that the show is posted up every week on my site at https://www.soulfulhorwich.org.uk/tunes/soulspectrum.html and this week's is now uploaded. Pete Meadows is back in the country for a couple of weeks which also coincides with Steve being on holiday. Live each Thursday 7 till 9pm and on 103.6FM Tameside Radio https://www.tamesideradio.co.uk/

This week's soul spectrum now uploaded to https://www.soulfulhorwich.org.uk/tunes/sou...ctrum030708.mp3 for listen again/download Gordon

There's probably a post from Steve last week but just a mention that I record the show and post it up to my site at https://www.soulfulhorwich.org.uk/tunes/soulspectrum.html. I only keep the past 4 or 5 due to space but have Steve's and previous shows presented by Pete Meadows stored if anyone requests one from the archives. Gordon
