Well, there we go. Thanks very much to Bullygrade Showers for normal, mate. I hope you can hear me. I hope we're back on air. It keeps cutting out. Somewhere in the studio.

Right, taking you through to our nine o'clock, don't forget, two hours of jazz funk and soul. Top of the hour, couple of jazzy tracks in the connoisseurs' corner. As I get before then, the back to back classic by Classic Alties. And in the second half, we got those three songs dug out by myself from my garage. Not from the archives, but dug out of Les' garage.

Right, all the knobs and sliders are in the right places, so it's time to get going, ain't it?

SPEAKER_3 (4:13)

Les Knott (9:25)

Well, there we go, as Ricky said, a cool kind of start with you. It sure is, isn't it? There we go, the sound of Bb&Q Band on the beat.

Les Knott (10:18)

Let's have a few jumpy ones all we start in. Yes, get you all in the mood. Get you dancing around your kitchen, front room, even out in the garden. It's not too bad at the moment.

Well, definitely, there we go. One of my favorite G-Com tracks. There we go. Time Waves for No One. And then we go to Joey Negro Extended Disco Minks. Right, I'm going to carry on. I'll go with a name to just the Moes, one for Ricky.

Well, how about I'm going back in time to sound over. Yes, Chuck Jackson. I think we keep going on and off here at the moment. So stay with me, folks. It's live radio. You know what I mean?

Well, there we go. 1981 for that one. Thelma Houston, if you feel it. Right, I have lots of issues coming on at the moment. Yes, the studio keeps clicking on and off and chucking me out. So I'm here now. Let's see where we can keep going.

There we go, 1980, Bobby Thurston. Check out the grooves, I think we're still in. Going through a couple of names, we're going to say hi to Nigel and Shirley Watson. Hello, YouTube. Love to have you here. The lovely Theresa Kaplan's here. Hello, my darling. Mr. Paul Knotson over in Stephen and Charlie, mate. Ricky Jarvis in Harlow. Hello, Ricky, mate. Over there in Chelmsford, Mr. Paul Main. Hello, Paul Main. Kenny Stewart's in. Hello, Kenny, mate. Sandra Johnson's in. Hello, my darling. How you doing? Oh, who else we got? Oh, we've got the... Mr. Steve Lovell over there in Creed. Hello, Steve, mate. Good to have you back again. Julie Bennet's around somewhere, yes. So she's clicking on the wrong pages, I think.

I've got to say hi to Reg N'doul. He's around as well over there in Melbourne, Australia. Mr. Tim Williams is in. Hello, Tim, mate. And Segri's around as well. I've just seen her pop up somewhere. That's Segri over there in South Africa. What? Yes, one more and then we're going to go, yes, classics, I think.
