Read moreWe have been delighted in playing a part in this year's pop-up, producing an hour long special, Trevor Nelson's Country Soul.
In the programme Trevor explores the sometimes surprising links between Country Music and Soul, R&B & Reggae. He explores the country-soul crossover, playing soul versions of country classics by the likes of Al Green, Esther Philips, Percy Sledge, The Supremes, and Candi Staton to name just a few. He'll also take a look at some unlikely country albums recorded by some of the all-time soul greats including Bobby Womack and Ray Charles, whose pioneering album "Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music" blurred the lines between country and soul forever.
The programme will air on Thursday 9th March 23:00-00:00 and will be repeated on Sunday 12th March 13:00-14:00.
