The Craig Charles Trunk Of Funk Vol. 1

Craig Charles has been a soul & funk fan since his teenage years in Liverpool, going to

see local heroes The Real Thing live, and wearing out his shoe leather dancing in the

city's many underground clubs. Craig has been sharing that passion for the music via

his 6Music and BBC Radio 2 shows and DJ nights for nearly 20 years.

His brand new 'Trunk Of Funk' compilation series, blends up-tempo club classics, with

fresh music from the cream of the crop from the contemporary soul and funk scene, and

will be Craigs very first vinyl release - a beautiful, double vinyl gatefold LP and he's

certainly excited about it, stating; "I can't wait to bring you big beats, bass lines and

booga-bloomin-loo! Presenting The Craig Charles Trunk Of Funk Volume 1 as my

first ever vinyl release has put a proper wiggle in my walk!"

This collection of 21st century disco, soul, funk & afro grooves from includes tracks from

contemporary heroes of the scene such as Monophonics, Amp Fiddler and The

James Taylor Quartet, it's also peppered with some old school classics and rare

grooves from legends such as Roy Ayers, PP Arnold, Miriam Makeba and Patrice

Rushen. Craig has personally selected and sequenced this collection to take the

listener of a musical journey, the closest thing to having Craig visit and personally DJ for

you in the comfort of your own home!

It also includes two 'Trunk Of Funk Edits' that are 100% exclusive to this compilation

and not available anywhere else.
