Great entertainment not sure about some of the tunes were they to slow or to fast halleluha

Great stuff Bob , some awesome tunes and a bit of madness and mayhem .

Willie

Tuesday's are my fave day of the week now..... Banbury Radio has to be the best on air and last nights show with Gospel Bob was again OUTSTANDING !!!

The tunes were, as expected superb even if he continually played with the boys nobs and some were slower than they should have been... he just can't keep still...

The banter from the green room is like a sketch from Monty Python ..... more so when Bob joins in.. he is a little mad you know !!

Thanks Topsy and the gang for another fantastic show oh and of course my prize... a Gospel Bob T. Shirt.... Lenny, am sure we will both fit into that large one...

Oh and poor Mel... get well soon xxxxx

Gospel Bob was again OUTSTANDING !!!

Ok people 1 day left on the BIR Christmas calendar and itsalmost time for the 3 Wise Men :D Len D, escorted (? ) by Jem B and Steve S.

It is going to be calm and demure, respectful, good wholesome family fun..........

Lots of love The Virgin Mellytee :wicked:

Looking forward to it!

Yep, See you all Tomorrow evening.

Tuesday night already?

I personally would not be anywhere else ..

Before BiR life had little meaning, It still hasn't , but at least Tuesday evening between 20:00 & 23:00 is taken care of

Will They Be Playing Credit Crunch Cars???? I do hope so .....................I know the Soul is Safe....

Blimey Mel, I was nervous enough before I read your post, but now I've seen my name on here in big red font..... .... 3 hours AND following such great other guests over recent months (+ Mr Massey next week I understand?!). No pressure then!

Hopefully I'll be cut some slack, as a regular listener of this great stepping stone of a show which breaks each week up so well for a growing number of us. The chat room wasn't up and running the first time I had a go on there last May, so that'll be interesting!

It is as you quote, an Across The Board show, so I'll be bringing a few from each decade.... Will be mostly 60's & 70's (yes, I'll leave most of the soul releases I actually "grew up" with in the 80's/90's on the shelves!) and will try my best not to repeat too much of what other guests have played on there this last few months.

Thanks again for the opportunity to play a few outside the house and see you there.

Cheers, Steve.

GOOD LUCK STEVE SCOTNEY!!!

All the best,

Len

Looking forward to hearing this weeks spinner .... see you all in the chat room for lots of soulful banter :rofl:

A super-sized thanks to Steve Scotney for entertaining everyone on Shades of Soul this week; 150+ miles travelled to reach the destination and it was certainly well worth it!

Tunes from mere pocket money pennies to........lets just say lots, lots more ........Steve you played an excellent selection and your service to Shades ofSoul has bumped you to position uno of the 'Northampton's Finest' League - Len & Jem are now banished to joint 2nd place As Ritchie M would say " You smashed it!"

Plenty of happy customers in the chatroom with a tinge of green-eyed monster over several that you brought along -Eddie I took a photo of said disc!!! Welcome back anytime Steve, especially as you brought plenty of bribes treats which was noted & gratefully received!!!

Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did; you're alright for a mere pup!!! [NOTE TO TED MASSEY - FOLLOW THAT SET!!!!!! NO PRESSURE XX]

:lol:

That's a good :lol: from me too! Thanks for your kind (and slightly mad) words Mel!

I don't think Ted will be feeling any pressure like I did, knowing I was the warm up YTS guest the week before he goes on there!

As for the so called "rankings" that Nick seems to have created for Northants ....Yeah right!...I'm happier to be off-radar to be honest!

Thanks also for looking after us on the show...food & drink & trying to keep the chat room in some sort of order! Great.

Cheers to all who listened and fed back about certain records and things at the time in the chat room, as the growing number of regulars do each week of course. Also a couple of new converts too I noted.

Look forward to listening in to Ted & his selection next week, although not sure my Missus will be as happy when I tell her that Valentines night is on Weds 15th Feb this year rather than Tues 14th

Cheers, Steve
