Music / Soultrain Radio
New radio station launches
Soultrain Radio takes to the digital airwaves on Wednesday, broadcasting live from the Bottle Yard Studios in Hengrove.
The station – which has been internet-only for the last two years – is from the people behind one of Bristol’s most famous and longest running club nights, celebrating 25 years in 2017.
With a similar music mix to the Soultrain club night, Soultrain Radio will broadcast 24 hours a day playing classic Motown sounds, soul ballads, 70s and 80s rare groove, jazz, funk, and modern day soul and RnB.

He said: “I’ve wanted to get back into full time presenting for many years but my style and music choice didn’t seem to suit any local stations currently on air.
“Soultrain Radio will take me back to the way radio was when I started in the business all those years ago, where the priority is great music that the DJ’s have a genuine passion for.
“Getting up early every morning to play soulful and funky music, from the latest releases to the classic tunes that I’ve been playing since the 70s, makes it the perfect job for me.”
