Paul Hensby
My love for soul, funk, jazz and reggae began when I heard Wilson Pickett on a radio show in the late sixties. Until that breakthrough moment, I was hearing British pop which I then found insipid and unexciting.Â
Within weeks I was listening to everything black America was producing - from the soul pop of Motown to the cool jazz of Miles. Â And so it continues today...if it excites me and seduces me, well, I'm hooked and am delighted to share my passion with you.
