Sail down the Thames on the spectacular Golden Flame party boat with Craig Charles at the helm for another unforgettable session of dirty funk and infectious soul. BBC 6Music’s award winning presenter Craig Charles will be bringing you one of his unique DJ sets, plus Soundcrash DJ’s bringing you nothing but Funk & Soul.  

Actor, stand up comedian, poet, BBC 6Music’s radio presenter and club DJ Craig Charles has been a dedicated soul boy from a tender age, in fact he was raised on the sounds of sweet soul: "My father came over from Guyana in the West Indies and he brought a load of records over with him. There was always Ray Charles playing in the house, The Platters, Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding. My Dad would play all this old stuff. In fact I was very close to getting called Otis when I was born! One of my earliest memories is my mum and dad dancing around the kitchen to Ray Charles' I've Got A Woman. I remember the look of sheer joy and exhilaration on their faces. I was hooked!” 

In 2001, as the BBC prepared to launch the new digital radio station 6 Music, Craig Charles was asked to present a show - Over 10 years on from the debut broadcast, the show is now the award winning stations longest running, and has the biggest share of audience too, a very impressive result for what was originally thought of as a 'niche' programme!
