CHARLIE GILLETT
See my appreciation of Charlie
who has finally left his radio broadcasting career (except for 1 30
minute BBC show). I used to listen to his BBC radio show every week.
His website
has a lot of good information and playlists of past shows, plus archives of
many of his best shows of the past.
MONDOMIX
Links to some old Charlie Gillett shows. The best of them? Catch Mavis Staples
spending most of 2 hours with Charlie on Chrismas Day, 2004. You should also listen to Djelimady Tounkara's
show. Mondomix also has many fRoots radio shows with Ian Anderson.
