Let Craig Charles provide your ultimate Saturday night party playlist as he spins his way through seven decades of the finest funk and soul tunes for your listening pleasure.

Let Craig Charles provide your ultimate Saturday night party playlist as he spins his way through seven decades of the finest funk and soul tunes for your listening pleasure. If it feels like funk and sounds like soul it'll be The Craig Charles House Party.

There's a Cover From Another Brother or indeed Mother and You Heard It Here First, a cracking cover version and a rarely-heard original back-to-back that'll have you thinking 'I didn't know they did that first!' Tonight it's Sweet Charles (no relation!) with a Sam & Dave classic, and we find out which Odyssey track Frankie Valli did first!

There's a long long long, let's go all the way, musical marathon of a song in our Version Excursion after 11pm, and it's one of our most requested tracks for your listening pleasure!

And we'll take the party out of the studio and onto the street when we go to Hip-Hop Heaven at half-eleven! Run DMC and Biz Markie are our hip-hop heroes tonight.
