About Me |
|
| ON THIS WEEK'S SHOW Yes, Craig Charles, former professional footballer, performance poet, Red Dwarf, Robot Wars, Coronation Street and MASSIVE soul and funk fan.--------- When BBC 6Music asked me to do a show I only had one condition, it has to be a soul and funk show, otherwise I wasn’t interested.And so the Craig Charles Funk And Soul Show came into being right at the very start of 6Music, way back in March 2002.------------------------------------------------------- ------ The show is currently broadcast every Saturday night between 6 and 9 and is also available at any time through the listen again facility on the BBC 6Music website. Since its inception I have been interested in all varieties of soul and funk music without imposing any barriers and I am just as enthusiastic about fresh new talent as I am about the classic artists from the golden age of the 60s and 70s.--------------------------------- Here are a few of the names I have had on the show:- James Brown, Roy Ayers, Cymande, Marlena Shaw, Paul Weller & Primal Scream, Terry Callier, Candi Staton, Marva Whitney, The Roots and the Jungle Brothers as well as the leading players of the new school Cut Chemist, Sharon Jones, Osaka Monaurail, Amp Fiddler, Amy Winehouse, The New Mastersounds, Quantic, Ben Westbeech, The Apples, The Grits, JTQ, The Aggrolites, and The Fusion Experience. --------------------------------------------I have also recently encouraged unsigned bands to get in touch and send in their demos to get played on the show and have had a great response with some seriously good music being sent to me from all over the globe. --------------------------------I am a massive fan of this music and to get the opportunity to spread the word is a dream come true!----------------------------I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 | |
