Salford, UK: MORNING!

Morning!

I'm going to see squirrels today!

But FIRST...

Join us over at BBC 6Music between 7 and 10am for the soundtrack to your soon-to-be awesome Sunday.

We're chilling in Salford...

MEDIA CITY, Salford, UK: Art is Everywhere

Hi everyone,

If you're awake right now (like me), you should tune in to BBC 6Music and listen to the first of our special art-themed radio shows 'Art is Everywhere'. Heaps of amazing guests are involved (Jeremy Deller, Pete Fowler, Mira Calix, Will Gompertz), and we have lots of ace music to play, too.

If you're up at this ungodly hour, I do not believe you can be doing anything good.

Plus, I ran over to the tram line in the dark to chalk up this message especially for you...

MediaCityUK, Salford, UK: Making chalk "radio-friendly"

This autumn, I worked on the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show on BBC 6Music, and it was ace (BBC 6Music is my favourite radio station ever).

To round off four weeks of researching, logging music and playing tambourine for the show, I decided to take chalk sticks down on my last day and blog from the studio.

Here's what happened...

FUNK & SOUL!

(This is the desk everyone works/dances around for the duration of the show. I wrote this between loggin two tracks)

Mics and wires and people and stuff.

(I stand behind this bit of the desk)

Craig dropping his megaphone and bells into the frame to give a better idea of what the show's all about...

(Noisy, but LOTS of fun. You'll hear both of those instruments and more when the show starts)

Craig then dropping his head in to show his complete adoration for funk and soul!

"Oh wait, that looks a bit blurry"

Craig - "I was born out of focus"

"AWOOGA"

Tune in every Saturday night from 6pm.

It's awesome.

(It'll take you right there)

Happy dancing.
