The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show is a British radio programme, broadcast on BBC Radio 6 Music on Saturdays, between 6 pm and 9 pm, and from 2016 until 2022 between 10 pm and 12 midnight on BBC Radio 2 (dubbed the Craig Charles House Party). The Radio 6 Music show is presented live by Craig Charles and produced by Simon Hodge, Ben Appleyard and Ellen Orchard for TBI Media. All varieties of funk and soul music are played, from classic tracks to contemporary releases.[1] It is the longest-running show on BBC Radio 6 Music.[2]

In 2007, as a long-running feature, Charles asked the show's listeners to vote for their perfect British funk band line-up.[10] In 2009, to celebrate 75 years of the prestigious BBC Maida Vale Studios, Charles formed the Fantasy Funk Band from their suggestions. The band originally featured James Taylor of the James Taylor Quartet (Hammond organ), The Haggis Horns (horns), Eddie Roberts of New Mastersounds (guitar), Ernie McKone of Push (bass), Mike Bandoni of Funkshone (drums), John Turrell of Smoove and Turrell (male vocals), Dionne Charles of Baby Charles (female vocals), Chip Wickham (baritone sax/flute) and Snowboy (percussions /music director).[11][12]

The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Party travels up and down the country and to sold out venues and packed out dance floors. It deals in proper good vibes and happy musical memories as it celebrates soulful sounds and funky grooves with the man himself at the helm.

This unique night of dancing is soundtracked by BBC 6 Music host Craig Charles, who is an undeniable don when it comes to funk and soul. His tasteful selections span the old, the new, and everything in between. He will be joined by a fine mix of talented selectors each with their own takes on funk and soul past and present.

A celebration of funk classics, soul essentials and undeniable dancefloor anthems, the legendary Craig Charles brings his Funk & Soul House Party to The Leadmill for the first time ever this November.

Get ready for the ultimate Funk & Soul House Party! This all-new DJ show for 2023 invites fans to enter Craig's living room as he delves into his extensive record collection to bring you straight-up groove bangers, exclusive funk and soul cuts, and much more.

Local DJs Urban Allstars set the scene with some great moves of their own, they had their wiggle on too, playing some great sounds giving way to some live music in the shape of deep funk specialists, The King Rooster. "Cooking The Books" kicked off proceedings in sharp effect with a tough groove from drummer Mark Claydon and a pumping rounded, sounding bass courtesy of Ian Stevens. Topped with crisp clean guitar and a punchy organ exemplifying the band's writing in glorious evidence and live prowess.

"Back Chattin" (a Dinked 45 evergreen) saw further explorations come into the fray and develop. This time it was left hooker guitarist James Forster's turn in the spotlight and managing to get the slinkiest sounds out of his gleaming white Stratocaster to devastating effect. The King Rooster are a well-drilled, well-honed and regimented outfit. They must have all completed National Service in funk school with their undoubted versatility shining through, as did their sterling musicianship. Topping off a great set was the introduction of the hostess of the night, Ms Ria Currie, who added a touch of glamour to the evening and was in fine form. Her vocal delivery on the band's take of Beyonce's "Sugar Mama" was sensational. The path had been well and truly set for the main man Craig Charles, Funk Soul Brother No1 to take the stage and do his majestic thing. The groove is the primal pulse we all respond too and he bombarded the crowd's senses with visceral intensity. 20 mins in and 12-inch extended mixes had already set the scene.

Finally, the great thing about Charles is that he presides over a genuine shared experience and he knows instinctively how to read a room. He can judge the crowd's energy and reach into his trunk of funk and pick the precise record to elevate their mood. He feels the moment just as the crowd does because he's right there living through that moment along with them. He doesn't operate according to a plan drawn up a week or a day earlier, it's more or less all intuitive judgement and there are no algorithms that can match this approach. Tonight he fulfilled his side of the alchemical bargain, he's a DJ who will pick a track, look you straight in the eye and think to himself "I think you are going to like this". That's as real as deejaying gets...

The healing force of funk had firmly landed in Leigh-On-Sea and was much needed and helpful in a small seaside town that was still reeling from the tragic loss of their much-loved MP. Positive vibrations had been spread and it was so great to see happy smiling people enjoying top sounds and live music again.
