Yep - The Rev's Hammondeer Greg Boraman returns to his old stamping ground and on air playmate Craig Charles at BBC 6 Music - providing hip Hammond sweetness to the digital radio airwaves - but this time returning to play LIVE organ funk - instead of just his old, scratchy records!

December Thursday the 13th/Friday the 14th December - LIVE @ The Jazz Cafe

Finally - As many of you will know - Reverend Cleatus often moonlight as 'The Fantastics' - we have previously released the amazing 'Cheeba's Couch' 45 on Raw Wax Records earlier this year - well here is a couple of 'fantastic' follow ups!!:
'Modern Funk' Compilation - Freestyle RecordsThe Reverends alter ego - The Fantastics and their version of James Brown's 'Give It Up Or Turn It A Loose' features on this Freestyle Records compilation alongside tracks from Mark Ronson, The Bamboos, Lack Of Afro and The Snugs.
It should be out on November 19th 2007.
For those who prefer the vinyl groove - Freestyle Records are releasing 'Give It Up Or Turn It A Loose' as one side of a 45 single - with Speedometers version of 'Answer To Mother Popcorn' on the other. Nice!
Release date to be confirmed!
