Return of 'The Soul Shack' - New Show - New Location - It's Back. www.starpointradio.com - Covering a show on Sunday October 14th - 6pm - 8pm - Then new show/slot details TBC - So watch this space!

New Show time slot now confirmed for Saturday nights midnight - 2am, there are no free slots available at the present time on Sunday's so being the new boy on the station I'm simply happy to be given the chance of a show, as soon as a better time slot becomes available then I will be given consideration to move, basically catch the show when and if you can on www.starpointradio.com and on the Sky channel, the first show will broadcast on Saturday October 20th and then every Saturday night, still covering this coming Sunday's 'Kev Roberts' show 6pm - 8pm, the format of the new show will as alway's be top tuneage and I intend to maintain the passion and standards, watch this space for any changes as and when a Sunday slot comes my way.

Thanks - Mark Bicknell.

Time slot update - Just had an email from Carl at 'Starpoint' with some good and bad news depending on how you review the following that is?....lol at the present time there are very few free time slots available at the station and it's been suggested that I may have to consider taking midnight till 2am on Saturday night which is of course a very different time slot to 'The Soul Shack' of old on a Sunday night, I basically may have to take this slot as I do not wish to step on anyone's toes or upset the shows already on the station,it's not the most perfect slot but at least I will get my foot in the 'Starpoint' door as it were, any feedback or suggestions would be most helpful at this stage. bicknellmark@aol.com - This is still yet to all be confirmed but I thought it best to keep everyone interested in this up to speed, final details TBC very soon.

Regards - Mark Bicknell - October 11th 2007.

Since my departure from Solar Radio back on September 3rd to say I've missed the show would be an understatement as sometimes you don't realise how special something like this is to do until it's no longer there, so there has been somewhat of a gap and a void in my life since 'The Soul Shack' closed, well there has been a major re-fit and the little wooden hut has had a new coat of paint and a move of location and it ready to get a little soulful once again with 'Big Daddy'

I have been asked to cover a show next Sunday October 14th from 6pm - 8pm on Starpoint Radio www.starpointradio.com and on Sky with a view to present a regular weekly show on the station, the format, music, guests, passion, commitment will be the same as before if not more so, you can listen on Sky Digital by following the instructions on www.starpointradio.com which is very simple and only takes a couple of minutes, it's so easy as I did it last night now if I can do it anyone can trust me, you only need to do it once and the station will be there in your Sky services set up for as long as you want it. Or you can simply listen on line via www.starpointradio.com

It would be nice for 'Friends Of The Soul Shack' to tune in and join me for two hours in 'The Soul Shack', watch this space for news and the new regular show details to follow as soon as everything is confirmed and in place, many thanks to my old friend Carl Lewis at Starpoint Radio for getting in touch and giving me the chance to turn the lights on again and crank up the volume in 'The Soul Shack'..........I'm as happy as a pig in the brown stuff!

Well done Mark. Looking forward to hearing you back across the 'airwaves'.

Mark, here's a little tip for you: When recording the show put a large piece of paper with 6" letters saying "STARPOINT" next to you. It's REALLY easy to slip up and say the name of the previous station you were on!! I should know. After doing Solar for 4 years, I did exactly that

Everyone please remember that you can't find Starpoint on your Sky EPG like Solar, so please follow Chalky's instructions above.

Best wishes to you, Dean.

Good to hear you are back on air Mark.

Just got off the phone with Carl Lewis at 'Starpoint Radio' and all is looking good for myself getting a regular weekly show on the station, please note that this coming Sunday's show October 14th I am simply covering one of Mr Kevin Roberts shows and will not be my regular slot, the regular time slot for the show is TBC as soon as possible so stick with me on that one please, I was unaware who's show I was covering when originally asked and I'm sorry for any missunderstanding or confusion regarding this, we will keep you posted via Soul Source and via the forum on www.starpointradio.com of all developments regarding this, sorry to all concerned if I was unclear on all the details in my original posting here.

Many thanks to everyone for the many Emails and messages supporting me and this new show, the feedback has been superb after a little over twenty four hours, many people have already registered with the free forum on 'Starpoint' and it seems many have already set up their Sky box Channel already in advance of Sunday' show which can only be good for the station, check out the very easy instructions to do this on the home page of the web site www.starpointradio.com and you can also listen via the net.

Thanks again - Regards Mark Bicknell.

We should have the new time slot and full details worked out in the next few days so watch this space! again thanks for all the advanced support on this.
