Bbc Radio Manchester Adds A Weekly Bit Of Northern Soul

BBC Radio Manchester is celebrating the legendary sound of Northern Soul with a new weekly show.

 

The commission follows a number of well-received special programmes and will be presented by local DJ, Richard Searling.

 

Searling has worked behind the counters of North West record shops as well as appearing at the turntables of venues including the Wigan Casino All Nighters and the Manchester Ritz Ballroom All Dayers.

 

“It’s a testament to both the enduring appeal and current appetite for northern soul music that we’re able to bring BBC Radio Manchester listeners a regular, weekly dose of the very best of this mesmerising musical style” he said.

    Sounds like a similar format to his Cellar Full of Soul show on Solar.

    If I heard correctly, it'll start at 10.00 pm.

    Surely most of the Target Audience will be out...

    Personally think Sunday Dinnertime (that's Lunchtime to Suvvernas) was best.

    The last few shows Richard has done on BBC Radio Manchester have been excellant 

    I guess only a fraction of the folks who enjoy the music get out n about and like his previous shows they will be on playback... https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02n708l

    Amazing how things change isn't it? Not long ago it seemed that specialist radio shows were no longer viable due to low response to advertising, putting the podcast at the forefront of specialist programming.A welcome return this is, albeit in the"graveyard"slot.

    Great to see Richard getting back into mainstream radio. I've been an admirer of his radio stuff ever since he did Soul Sauce on Radio Hallam in the late 1970's, he always provides good informative shows.

    Excellent news. At last BBC weekly soul show hosted by someone who actually knows what he's talking about. Radio Leeds/Sheffield is just about unlistenable such is the cheese factor.

    Shame its seems a bit oldies top heavy, still good listening and as noted above informative as always.

    I still remember listening to his Cellar Full of Soul (must be nearly 25 years ago now) when I lived up there. Good news.

    An excellent Northern Soul radio show worth listening to is on Tuesdays 6:00 to 8:00pm here:

    hosted by the inimitable Steve Luigi, who plays some very good unreleased tracks and lets the music do the talking.
