  • My Thanks to the great curator and presenter of great music Simon Harrison,

    Every week or so for ten years now, Ive been listening in to the greatest listening party in the galaxy. Mr Harrison has always had impeccable taste for soulful groove oriented musical tracks that uplift and move the spirit.

    Your shows have seen me through really difficult years of life, and been a balm and a friend throughout that time.

    Big Up, My Man, Mista Harrison. Love from San Francisco and all the best to you and yours.

    One Love
