BFBS Soul Shows added

BFBS Radio aired great Soul Shows over the years in programmes such as Soul Train with Andy Peebles, Soul Station with Tony Blackburn and Tommy Vance hosted the Soul Bowl. Thanks to fans from around the BFBS family I am glad that we received so many recordings which you can experience now on this page and enjoy the great Soul Music.

But now enjoy below shows from the BFBS Soul Cave. :)

Tony Blackburn hosted the "Soul Station" on BFBS in the mid to late 80s. Very glad to share all these shows with you and thanks to the kind person that made the shows available for us.

By the way, Tony Blackburn hosts a weekly Soul and Motown Show on BBC Three Counties Radio every Sunday morning. Well worth a listen and Tony does still sound as in the early days.

BFBS Cologne - A Fairytale - watch this

Staff, Presenters, Sound Engineers etc who worked at BFBS Cologne took part at the annual BFBS Cologne Dinner and this year saw the 25th Anniversary after the closure of BFBS Cologne which was based in Parkstrasse 61 in Cologne Marienburg. The last BFBS Cologne Station Manager Colin Rugg opened the evening to welcome all the attendees and guests such as former BFBS Presenters Richard Astbury, Alan Clough, Mark Tyley, Nick Bailey but also remembered the famous BFBS voices that passed away since the last gathering like Peter McDonagh.

During the dinner a video was presented of BFBS Cologne that Tom Hausmann found and kindly shared it with all of us via the internet. Now it is my great pleasure to share that video with the many fans of BFBS Radio.
