The going home for the weekend song thread...come on you groovey foookers


Recommended Posts

In the late 80's/early 90's in Manchester, Sunset Radio was essential listening both as a pirate and legit station. Mike Shaft the main man behind it started off as a DJ on Piccadilly Radio. I remember him from the early 80's, when he was one of the few voices championing soul/dance music. Next Monday, Sunset is relaunched on DAB, which I assume means it can be picked up via the internet too, so worth checking out...

As it's groovy Friday, thought I would revisit this classic tune, still have a taped recording of it's first airplay on Piccadilly...


 

Good call RD. Always like a bit of Luther.

    • Personally, I would like to see labour do something positive for the country, unfortunately under Starmer and Reeves the opposite is true. Change of leadership.is now required, not a general election at this stage but if Starmer and Reeves stay in post then the May local elections will give Reform more power.  Now is the time for change and damage limitation , not after May when large number of reform local councillors will be voted in as a protest against this Government. 
    • I have found two entertaining ones so far... 1) Led By Donkeys projection on Windsor Castle  https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/trump-epstein-projections-windsor-castle-state-visit-arrests-b1248118.html 2) Brits protest against Trump state visit with Epstein merch all over Windsor Castle  https://www.indy100.com/politics/trump/donald-trump-jeffrey-epstein-merch-windsor-castle
    • Title changed to reflect the latest developments.
    • More let off last night, early evening. I do not ever recall hearing fireworks on such a regular basis at this time of year. For those walking dogs after dark, this must be of concern.
