Your Classic & 21st century Soul Station

 

We are delighted to welcome Chris Dinnis to the schedule of Solar Radio – he will be on air every Sunday afternoon from 2.00pm to 4.00pm.
Chris Dinnis has had an extraordinary career. He has worked in radio for over40 years, and at one point had one of the top 3 most listened to radio shows in the UK. That career has seen him interview stars from Beyonce to Gladys Knight. Chris also co hosted an eight-part soul show with Joss Stone entitled ‘Peace Love & Music’. He hass worked in front of the royal family, hosted many stadium gigs including ‘An Audience with Michael Jackson’produced a sell-out comedy CD and was the inflight voice of Fly Be.
In the 1980s Chris also wrote regularly for Blues & Soul and Groove Weekly. From the end of the 70’s to this day he has played a big part in keeping soul and jazz alivein the South West, as detailed in Snowboy’s book’The History of the UK Jazz Dance Scene’. A while back Chris presented a series of guest shows for Solar so he is delighted to return, but this time with his own programme helping to make Sundays on Solar essential listening..
