If you weren’t able to make it down to Bar Absolute in Hitchin last Friday, fear not! We got the while night in the can and it will be revisited in tonight’s Soulfood show.

Tune in from 8pm to catch sets from Morroco, Marcus Hurley and myself. Spanning hip hop, nu-jazz, funk, breaks, electro and DnB, it was a top night of tunes. Don’t miss out a second time!

I think we all agree a change is good once in a while. Even if it’s just your socks…Foot hygiene issues aside, it’s healthy to change the norm now and again.

The rambling point of this post (and rather rubbish sock reference), is to let you weblanders know that we’re taking transmission of tonight’s live radio show out of the smoky confines of Blunt HQ, and into Bar Absolute (in Hitchin, Hertfordshire) for the evenings proceedings. It’s fair to say that Bar Absolute has comfier seats and a better range of spirits than we currently have here at Blunt HQ, and they probably empty their ashtrays more often, so we’re glad they’re letting us come over for the night! (“thank you”…)

As advertised, tonight’s show will be another infamous “Groundbeat” session. Expect lots of chilled-out, jazz-influenced beats from across the genres, live from 8pm UK time. DJs will include Blunt residents, and Adam Williams, who returns to the fold once more as tonight’s guest DJ.

If you’re in the area, feel free to pop down to Bar Absolute to say hello, treat yourself to a Campari and Lucozade, and kick back to some live sounds from the family Blunt, from 8pm through until midnight.

If you’re not lucky enough to be nearby, then you can of course listen live to the whole 4 hour session via our radio page from 8pm tonight. You can do this in the comfort of your own home, without even having to change your socks. (“Socks!!! See?? I knew I’d get there in the end! Erm….I’m off for a siesta now.”)

We’re back on air at 8pm tonight, with the return of our Allsorts show. 4 hours of musical wanderings from across the genres, as chosen by Blunt residents Agent M and the Erbalist. This show is like Ronseal. It does exactly what it says on the tin (but it tastes nicer…)

Well, it is, frankly.

Instead of some seasonal pastry and Christmas CD, tune in tonight to our deep-fried, full fat, brandy-soaked Soul Food radio show. It’s far tastier. I’m sure even Delia would agree.

Live from 8pm UK time tonight, Santa’s (not so) little helpers Agent M and the Erbalist will be dishing up man-sized portions of soul, funk, hip hop, and all manner of dusty ghetto breaks.

Just the thing for a dice game on the stoop. (But, I wouldn’t bother with that in this weather….you’ll turn into a bloody snowman.)

Soul Food is being served tonight on Blunt Beats Radio…

Soul, Funk, Jazz, Hip Hop and everything in between, served up by the Erbalist and myself…

Well well….this weeks live radio show sees us sittin’ on the stoop with the Olde English and the Phillies as we take in yet another Soul Food Session. Blunt Residents Doug and Marcus Hurley will be taking you through the crates, pulling out lots of smoked-out hip-hop, soul, and funk flavours.

And, for you lucky listeners, we’ve got something a little bit special lined up… We’ll be playing you the on-point “Smokers Lounge” mix from Altanta-based DJ Osmose. Take our word it, you won’t be disappointed, and we’ll have more from our special guest Osmose coming up in future shows very soon.

Nice….now pass me that chicken wing, fool, and roll the damn dice!!

Tonight’s live radio show sees you the lucky listener treated to more musical mischief from our recent Urban Picnic Sounds project at the Rhythms Of The World festival.

Expect to hear lots of summertime funk, classic soul, barbecue hip hop, and heavyweight roots reggae courtesy of Blunt Residents Marcus Hurley and Agent M, and our good friends Baron Studio Sound.

So. There you have it. Yet another excuse to pour a large drink, sit in the sunshine, and enjoy the vibe from this belter of a festival.

(Talking of which, if you’ve missed any of the live recordings we’ve been playing over the last couple of weeks, then fear ye not. We’ll be putting them out for individual download in the near future)

As our heads are still a little fuzzy, in après-festival mode, we’ve decided to take things a little easy on this weeks live radio show. Also, it’s a little “Brucie Bonus” for you people in webland (as we’re nice).

From 8pm tonight, we’ll be playing some live recordings from our recent outing with our Urban Picnic Sounds project at the Rhythms Of The World festival. Those of you that were there will be able to re-live the musical fun and games from what was a blinder of a weekend. Those of you that weren’t will find out what you missed, and will be treated to some great music from the Family Blunt and Friends.

Sets tonight will be from Blunt Resident Doug, and special guests Matty J and Adam Williams. Top notch stuff, I can assure you. Perfect for the sunshine vibe.

As a bypoint, we’re well aware we haven’t put up too much (well…ok…any) footage/pics etc of the festival as yet. Don’t worry. Rest assured we will. Very soon.
