Franklin started DJ'ing in 1975 and graduated to night clubs in the
North West in the 80's. He began his radio career in 2010 when he was
invited to do a (mainly) chat show on South Manchester Community Radio
then called Peace FM and now called Legacy. From there he did some
shows on Internet Radio before joining Starpoint where he compiled the
UK Soul Chart. He then left to do a Saturday show on Mi-Soul radio and
was involved in setting up Mi-Soul Connoisseurs and the Soul
Connoisseurs Chart which has now become Global Soul.
In this show he features many spectrums of soul but especially
focuses on the edgy, vibey future soul beats.
Franklin hosts The New Music Show on Friday evenings between 5pm-6pm on
Global Soul where he features the hot new releases and also hosts the
Global Chart Show on Saturdays. A new theme he has incorporated is
playing five new releases which he calls the 'Essential 5' before the
chart rundown which consists of five hot new tracks released within
the last five days.
He is a regular reader of the blog and featured at least six tracks
which have been posted on the blog in the few days before the show was
broadcast and his show also highlights many tracks which I later post
on the blog which I have missed (two of which posted today), so we have a good reciprocal
relationship which hopefully highlights new releases you may otherwise not have known about.
