BT Festival FM 106.2 Scott & Jamie Thompson's 'Sort of soul' Show 1, 28-6-97

Looking back (unfortunately not listening to) on a radio show I did with my brother in 1997 gave me some strange flash backs to that Summer and the hot Saturday nights at Forge FM. We did 4 shows across 4 consecutive Saturday nights and the two tapes give a nice snapshot of what I was really into at the time (although not really getting the chance to play given the constraints of the Thursday night Leadmill crowd). As you will see it is pretty much Northern/ Motown/ Soul from '64-'70 on this show with a couple of tracks i'd forgot about- 'Do you see my love', 'Let the sunshine in' & 'Contact'; current wants 'The joker' along with mucho golden- era Wigan Casino stuff.

I'm gonna keep mining the old tapes with the green covers over the coming months so watch this space peeps! Any guesses who my poster boys are?

Boneshaker guest spot July 22nd 2011

It was a messy night but one of the best nights DJ'ing in a long time. All rounded off with some hooch that tasted like fairy liquid and a cafe creme cigar! My whole solo set can be downloaded via the Boneshaker website here. No links to youtube today but I think this weeks link is even better. Keep your ears peeled for the opening track.- I'm sure someone says 'Smokin' as it starts! As always a * indicates a debut for D.I.
