Notes

Craig is joined by soul legend Lee Fields aka Little JB, who's career is going strong after 40 years in the business. With a catalogue that ranges from James Brown-style funk to lo-fi blues contemporary Southern soul to collaborations with French house producer Martin Solvig, Lee Fields has done it all. Craig challenges Mr Fields to a fightclub, which takes on 4 rounds of musical battle. Who's record selections are the strongest? You decide. And of course we want your musical choices in the part of the show we call 'Spinage A Trois'.
