Hi all, So I have thought about doing a modern soul special for a while and it has now happened.

As well as playing music that I love a couple of days before the show I had the idea of sharing knowledge of how the genre started, the time lines and who first coined the term modern soul. I started to do some research and quickly realised it was not well documented. Rather than just leave it I pushed on and decide to reach out to some key figures to ask their opinion on it. I did not manage to get a definitive answer although a lot of the same people where discussed. In hindsight I should have done this many weeks or even months before but as I had already advertised the special it had to go ahead. At this point I would like to thank those that I did speak too namely, Andy Davies, Bob Jeffries, Arthur Fenn, Yogi Haughton, Dave Thorley and Steve Guarnori. Some very interesting phone calls happened and I am still in the mindset of talking to more and attempting to document it.

Below is the show recording, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did
