For the past couple of years, I have had the great pleasure of presenting one of the coolest Soul shows around. I say Soul but it covers much much more than that with segments including Gospel, Jazz, Back2Back, The Chill Zone and more. The show airs Mondays thru Fridays 4 and 6 am & pm, across London on DAB and around the world on colourfulradio.com and on Tune-In Radio.
Back in 2002 during the Commonwealth Games in Manchester, I got a phone call from the manager of BBC GMR (now BBC Radio Manchester) asking if I was available to present their Sunday Breakfast programme as holiday cover.
Welcome to the Mike Shaft Soul Show on BBC Radio Manchester. Some time ago, I had a meeting planned with my boss, Managing Editor of BBC Radio Manchester Kate Squire.
