    Which UK Soul/Disco Radio Shows in the 70's & 80's do you remember?

    Which UK radio disco/soul shows you listened to in the 70"s & 80's?

    I remember innovative shows on Pennine Radio in Yorkshire:
    The Pennine Soul Express around 1976 and Soul-A-Heat around 1980

    Hey there...

    In 1979, if you were living in the London area like me, back then Greg Edwards' Best Disco in Town was essential listening on a Friday and Saturday evening. About two years before that show on Capital Radio, Greg presented his Soul Spectrum shows which he still does on Capital Gold during the week. Also Mike Allen on the same station was worth a look, Tony Blackburn and his Soul Night out on Radio London came a bit later too. Let's not forget Mr Robbie Vincent. :-P :-D ;-)

    The late Tony de Vit did a hi-nrg/disco show on Beacon radio in the West Midlands in the early-mid 80s & that's the first time i heard the likes of Cut Glass, Tantra, Katmandu, Jean Carn, Amanda Lear, Jolo, Earlene Bentley, The Flirts, Lime etc.etc.etc. It changed my life!8) :p

    Manchester's Piccadilly Radio's 5 hour long "The All-Night Beat" with Stu Allen and Chris Buckley kept the dance music flag flying in the mid-eighties on Saturday nights, along with Stu's 3 (or was it 4?) hour "Bus-Dis/Souled Out" on a Sunday night.

    Great days.

    Yeah, Tony de Vit was a DJ at the Nightingale Club in Birmingham and Beacon Radio's Mike Baker had him as the weekly guest on his Dance Chart show on Wednesday nights from about 1981. The funny thing was that they used to play the top 10 tracks that received the most reaction on the dance floor, not revealing to listeners that it was really gay reaction to the music in a gay club !
