Playlist 06.09.10

Quite by chance we had decided to focus our monthly profile on Nile Rodgers, mainstay of Chic, architect of Sister Sledge, major influence on hip hop, Bowie, Madonna and more. Myself and Reggie Chamberlain King spent over 15 minutes gassing about those resplendent tunes. And the kicker was the news that Nile would be delivering the keynote speech at Belfast's Music Week, Monday September 13 at thw Waterfront. See you there at 1pm. The guy and guitar in conversation with our Radio Ulster colleague Paul McClean. Get your free admission info here...

Yowsa, yowsa and indeed, yowsa.
