We're Gonna Party Like It's...2018!

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 we hear the original version of a song that was a number one for Paul Young, and Barbara Lewis takes us through the Windmills Of (Her) Mind.

There's a long long long, let's go all the way, musical marathon of a song in our Version Excursion after 11pm, and tonight it's a Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes re-edit that you won't want to miss!

And we'll take the party out of the studio and onto the street when we go to Hip-Hop Heaven at half-eleven! Jurassic 5 and The Sequence face off in tonight's rap battle.
