I hope you are all well and staying safe despite the awful weather we've been experiencing here in the UK lately? I'm sure many of our European and American friends, who seem much more hardened and adapted to these frosty conditions, are sharing a communal chuckle at our shoddy expense! And rightly so!! A small scattering of the white stuff is all it takes for us to close up shop and go into hibernation as a nation it seems!
But no fear, after a somewhat disruptive Arctic spell this week in "Blighty", I return here with a brand new joint mix with my funky Co-Pilot, Hoppin' John. The show, as they say, must go on!
Contained herein is a mixed selection of Doo-Wop, Soul, Latin as well as all things Funky for your listening pleasure. As always Hoppin' John brings 'The Heat' with some tasty welcome selections, and I've also squeezed in a few newer acquisitions from a recent digging trip that I made before the cold snap hit us for six!!
We'll be pretty busy finishing up the final preparations for our forthcoming Hook & Sling Soul Weekender in February, but I have a few very special instalments for your aural delectation here at The Hook & Sling, with some very special Guest selectors and contributions that we're extremely excited about thrown into boot!
Stay safe (and warm if you're in the UK!), enjoy today's mix and I'll be back here very shortly!
