			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The N Team managed to squeeze in three days on the English Riviera last week before Little N returns to school on Thursday and many urgent jobs got pushed to one side to make way for what amounts to our Summer Holiday 2010 !

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After spending most of this year moaning about a lack of work, and a lack of cash to go with it, suddenly August has gone mental and I hardly know whether I am coming or going. On top of that it is of course school holiday month and with a six year old son in my life&#8230;say no more !</p>
<p>So, not for the first time recently, it is nice to get in the studio for an hour, switch off from everything and just enjoy playing a few choice tunes from the 70s &amp; 80s for you (although one is actually from much more recent times than that!) If you like cool soul, groovy funk, tasty disco and some sophisticated jazz, then I am sure you will love the latest show, especially the tunes by Billy Paul, Light Of The World, Van McCoy &amp; The Manhattans &#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Here is the full tracklist</strong> :</p>
<p>Kool &amp; The Gang  -  Take It To The Top</p>
<p>Light Of The World  -  Ride The Love Train</p>
<p>Brecker Brothers  -  Sneakin’ Up Behind You</p>
<p>Van McCoy  -  The Hustle</p>
<p>Walter Beaseley  -  Lil’ Touch Of Jazz</p>
<p>Player – Baby Come Back</p>
<p>Manhattans  -  Kiss &amp; Say Goodbye</p>
<p>Billy Paul  &#8211; Let’s Make A Baby</p>
<p>Strikers  -  Body Music</p>
<p>France Joli  -  Gonna Get Over You</p>
<p>Evelyn “Champagne” King  -  Shame</p>
<p>Spyro Gyra  -  Morning Dance<span> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s Show 9 of the re-launched &#8220;Old Gits Soul Show&#8221; series and although there&#8217;s plenty of summer left (I hope!) I thought it was a good time to have a little change and introduce a new featured track where the &#8220;Reggae Got Soul&#8221; used to be.</p>
<p>Though the colour of someone&#8217;s skin is pretty irrelevant to how good the music they make is, I think it&#8217;s fair to say that it is generally accepted that the best soul music over the last 50 years has been made by black folks, so I thought I&#8217;d throw in a curve ball each week over the next month or two and play a tune that falls under the category known commonly as &#8220;Blue Eyed Soul&#8221;. The group I will be playing this week are the first ones I thought of when thinking of ideas for this new feature and made some brilliant tunes across the 70s &amp; 80s &#8211; you can hear them along with Central Line, Donald Byrd &amp; The O&#8217;Jays and plenty more from 7pm this coming Monday !</p>
<p>Full tracklist:</p>
<p>Oliver Cheatham  -  Get Down Saturday Night</p>
<p>Central Line  -  Walking Into Sunshine</p>
<p>Stacy Lattisaw  &#8211; Dynamite</p>
<p>Gladys Knight &amp; The Pips – Just Walk In My Shoes</p>
<p>Average White Band – Atlantic Avenue</p>
<p>O’Jays  -  Now That We’ve Found Love</p>
<p>Kloud 9  -  With Me</p>
<p>Alicia Myers  -  You Get The Best From Me</p>
<p>Mezzoforte  -  Garden Party</p>
<p>Goody Goody  -  No:1 Dee Jay</p>
<p>Saturday Night Band  -  Come On Dance Dance</p>
<p>Donald Byrd  -  Change</p>
<p>Webster Lewis  -  El Bobo</p>
<p><strong>Recommended “Old Gits Nights Out”</strong> :</p>
<p>Coming up in August:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really look forward to coming in to  Basildon each week to do the show. Not just to share some of my cherished soulful tunes form the 70s &amp; 80s with the like minded folk of the area, but also to sample the delights of Eastgate beforehand ! Now I can get a few bits &amp; bobs for the bathroom, some stickers for Nathan&#8217;s football album, my mum&#8217;s weekly mags and grab a bite to eat &#8211; plus anything else I might need in the  Asda which is about twice the size of my local one (and I spend a LOT of time in there&#8230;)  Not to mention the bargains to be had in the various &#8220;pound&#8221; /&#8221;99p&#8221; shops where I have had countless ideas for small prizes for my quiz nights and the fact that wherever I go before the show starts I usually bump into someone I know from round and about &#8211; hey, I&#8217;ve nearly got a social life again!!</p>
<p>All of this, of course, is totally irrelevant to &#8220;The Old Gits Soul Show&#8221; except that by the time I sit down in the studio I am usually in a very good mood and hopefully is reflected in my choice of tracks which this week includes gems from Lou Rawls, Teena Marie, George Duke &amp; Chic and the last slice of &#8220;Reggae Got Soul&#8221; before I change the &#8220;half-time feature&#8221; next time out.  Enjoy !</p>
<p><strong>Full Tracklist:</strong></p>
<p>Chic  &#8211; I Want Your Love</p>
<p>Lou Rawls  -  Lady Love</p>
<p>Gwen McCrae  -  Rocking Chair</p>
<p>Al Hudson &amp; The Partners -  You Can Do It</p>
<p>Althea &amp; Donna  -  Uptown Top Ranking</p>
<p>Ronnie McNeir  -  Why People Fall In Love</p>
<p>Roberta Flack &amp; Donnie Hathaway  -  Where Is The Love</p>
<p>George Duke  -  Brazilian Love Affair</p>
<p>Teena Marie  -  Square Biz</p>
<p>Beggar &amp; Co  -  Somebody Help Me Out</p>
<p>Winans  -  Let My People Go</p>
<p>Empress  -  Dyin’ To Be Dancin’</p>
<p><strong>Recommended &#8220;Old Gits Nights Out&#8221;</strong> :</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am not really a sun-loving sort of person to be honest,even though a lot of the soul, disco &amp; jazz-funk I play on the show somehow seems to sound at its best in the summer time. So it is not often that I am seen out in public in shorts, preferring the comfort of a full length pair of jeans as opposed to something that will offer easy access to my shins and ankles to all manner of midges and other assorted insect life forms around Basildon.</p>
<p>But at the risk of being repetitive it has been HOT in the studio over the last two weeks, so I think I will have to make an exception this time, just so I am at my best to bring you an hour of the good stuff&#8230;wafting in between the Old Gits legs are:</p>
<p>Steve Arrington  -  Dancing In the Key Of Life</p>
<p>Rick James  -  Glow</p>
<p>Armenta  -  I Wanna Be With You</p>
<p>Marilyn McCoo &amp; Billy Davis Jr  -  You Don’t Have To Be A Star</p>
<p>Errol Dunkley  -  OK Fred</p>
<p>Kleeer  -  Intimate Connection</p>
<p>Stevie Wonder  -  Lately</p>
<p>Michael Jackson  -  I Can’t Help It</p>
<p>Arthur Adams  -  You Got The Floor</p>
<p>Chaka Khan  -   Clouds</p>
<p>Hi Tension  -  British Hustle</p>
<p>Sho Nuff  -  It’s Alright</p>
<p><strong>Next recommended “Old Gits Night &#8230;er&#8230;Day Out!” :  </strong></p>
<p><strong>Cockle Shed Soul All-Dayer</strong></p>

<p>For ticketys call  Tony on 07944435549  or  email Birdy at <a href="mailto:life@djbirdy.com">life@djbirdy.com</a></p>
<p>Price: £15 up until two weeks before the event £20 in the final two weeks</p>
<p>This event ALWAYS sells out, and we guarantee that in the weeks before the event we will have to turn down hundreds of requests for tickets (as we have for the past three events)&#8230;..make sure your not one of them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The only &#8220;cool&#8221; thing about my show at the moment is the music ! Not every day recently may have been perfect sunbathing weather, but I can assure you it is always HOT in the studio and reminds me of my very early days as a mere youngster, dabbling in radio for the first time, often under far less than ideal conditions, putting up with all sorts of handicaps, just for the love of the tunes. I think a few people reading this will know where I am coming from <img src='http://gatewayfm.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />   &#8230;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, thirty or so years later, here we are reminiscing about &#8220;the old days&#8221; and playing a few of those tunes that would have been &#8220;hot new tunes&#8221; back then, this week&#8217;s playlist reads as follows: </p>
<p>Andrea True Connection  -  More More More</p>
<p>Change  -  The Very Best In You <strong> </strong></p>
<p>BB &amp; Q  -  Imagination</p>
<p>Level 42  -  The Chinese Way</p>
<p>Barry Biggs  -  Side Show</p>
<p>The Limit  -  Pop</p>
<p>Manhattans  -  Shining Star </p>
<p>Harold Melvin &amp; The Bluenotes  -  Wake Up Everybody</p>
<p>Players Association  &#8211; I Like It</p>
<p>Sine  -  Just Let Me Do My Thing</p>
<p>Jammers  -  Be Mine Tonight</p>
<p>Incognito  -  After The Fall<strong> </strong><span> </span></p>
<p>And if you missed it on Monday, remember there&#8217;s a repeat play at 10pm on Wednesday !</p>
<p><strong>Next recommended “Old Gits Night Out” :  </strong></p>
<p>Friday 2nd July, “Zero Radio Soul Night” , Marco&#8217;s Bar, Eastwood Road, Rayleigh</p>

<p>Times: 8pm till 1am</p>
<p>FREE ADMISSION &#8211; EARLY ARRIVAL RECOMMENDED !</p>
<p><strong>Live Jazz Fusion @ Bar Lambs</strong></p>
