I'm a northern soul based in Birmingham (UK) carefully crafting web content. This site is where I post links to random things I find interesting or mention things I get up to that are nothing to do with making websites. For work and web content related blogging, please head over to gavinwray.com.
The bestest radio show on the internets, The Big Paws, are doing 'an end-of-year Peelie-style show made up of your votes. It'd be best if the songs were Big Paws-ian (even better if we've actually played them).'
Here are my three votes (all three tracks have been played on the show):1) "Kukkoloo (live)" by Ikscheltaschel 2) "Ozzy" by Drums of Death3) "Billie Jean" by Ian Brown
This is the super cool ukelele fashioned in the rock stylee given to me by the K. Woohoo!

Over the past few months, I’ve appeared in a weekly 1-song soul slot on The Big Paws radio show. The show, presented by Jon Bounds and Julia Gilbert, is on Rhubarb Radio every Saturday 8–10am.
Danny Smith, co-presenter of another radio show on Rhubarb, Technical Difficulties, asked if I could share a Spotify playlist of all the soul tunes featured on The Big Paws so far.
So here’s the playlist: HTTP link · Spotify URI
Not all of the tracks featured on The Big Paws are available on Spotify (there’s no Una Valli or Wayne Gibson, for example). There are also a couple of tracks where the versions on Spotify are slightly different to the version played on The Big Paws (Gloria Jones’ “Tainted Love”, for example).
