Hi Chris,

Love the show... better than BBC Radio Dance!

Many thanks

Griff in Cyprus

 


 

Chris,

Whoooooooohoooooo, just checked your website to check on the name of a tune
and found I have won the Hed Kandi cd.
Our guys on the ship think your show is the closest thing to being on shore in a club!

Hi Chris,

At long last I've gotten around to writing to you. I've been listening to your programme since the start wiv Mario... would it be possible to play "Starz In Their Eyes" again? The track really bowled me over.

I can't imagine Friday's without your show. Even when I'm down in New Zealand I listen in on the internet.

Thanks for the considerable listening pleasure from your show over the years.

Long may Friday Dance keep grooving.

I am in Baghdad, a yank and have been seriously enjoying your show. I am from Florida and can not get enough of your show. Sometimes I just get in the Chevy and drive around Camp Victory on Friday night with the radio all the way up. I have listened to a lot of stations on the web over the years, but BFBS and in particular, your show, is the best radio I have ever heard anywhere in my life.
