Welcome back!

I hope you all enjoyed my Put ‘Em Up Mix from Monday?

Today is somewhat of a double edged sword, as my soulful co-pilot, Hoppin’ John takes the reigns here at The Hook & Sling with a brand new mix for you. You can catch me dropping a new Guest mix over at Dang! Radio, the excellent eclectic radio podcast run by Wil Grace AKA Pookie Wonder. I’ve put together just over 90 minutes of soulful goodness for him entitled, Got Skills? (An All 45 Excursion). So once you’ve finished here, head there for second helpings! Enjoy today’s mixes, stay safe and I’ll catch you back here shortly!

“They do say the best things come to those who wait and hopefully this mix will be no different. Admittedly my own contributions to this site recently have been threadbare, if not non-existent over the recent months. So hopefully this mix will be the start of a regular monthly update as to what’s hot and what’s getting heavy rotations on my 1210’s.

The frenetic dance floor action and excellent turnout last Saturday night saw me playing the majority of these tracks at The Vestry, along with the regular 45 groovers and floor fillers.

So sit back, take the phone off the hook and enjoy. Hopefully I’ll be back soon!”
