Soul Connection

Welcome to an exciting soul show on Smooth Radio 70s, presented by Richard Searling and Kev Roberts.

Smooth Radio 70s brings you an exciting new soul show presented by Richard Searling and Kev Roberts; two DJs who were playing and discovering these tunes back in the ‘70s.

Join Richard and Kev every Sunday afternoon between 2pm and 5pm to re-live the best Northern Soul and 70s soul dancefloor hits from venues like Wigan Casino, or your favourite local club night.

Every week, the pair will be looking back to what was happening in the world of soul Stateside, and on the scene in UK.

The show includes regular features, such as ‘I Dig Your Act’, where we ask YOU for your favourite Northern Soul artist, and ‘One Wonderful Moment’, where you can tell us about a song that is dear to your heart.

On the next show

This weekend's "Soul Connection" looks back to June 1973 - with US chart hits from The Jacksons, Norman Connors and Lou Rawls, plus great new releases from The Dells, The Floaters, and Bo Kirkland and Ruth Davis.

There's also a very special, exclusive interview with a legend of Soul, Bettye Swann who recently wowed audiences when she visited the UK for the first time ever!

As always we've got plenty of your requested Northern soul and 70s soul favourites from artists including Mike McDonald, Lamont Dozier, Bobby Hebb, Jackie Lee and Clyde McPhatter.

Our featured artist this week is Chuck Jackson, and our label spotlight focuses on the US Wand label and three epic performances.

Join Richard and Kev this Sunday afternoon at 2pm for three hours of fun, memories and of course, loads of great soul music!
