First six months or so of 2013 have packed in more than enough good music for the whole year. There’s been a particularly strong bumper crop of retro soul this year, in truth “soul” music in general has been nicely represented and that is certainly reflected in the show. Really looking forward to what the rest of 2013 has in store for us, we’ll start finding out next week, but until then enjoy the show!
