āWhen BBC 6Music asked me to do a radio show I only had one condition, it has to be a funk & soul show otherwise I wasnāt interestedā. And so the Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show was born, pioneering 6Music radio show from its dawn in 2002.

āSince its inception I have been interested in all varieties of soul and funk music, without imposing any barriers and I am just as enthusiastic about fresh new talent as I am about the classic artists from the golden age of the 60s and 70sā.
The list of guests that have been on The Funk and Soul Show speaks for itself: Gil-Scott Heron, James Brown, Roy Ayers, Cymande, Marlena Shaw, Paul Weller, Primal Scream, Terry Callier, Candi Staton, Marva Whitney.
