Paula Juana  is joined by legendary The Funkees drummer and founding member: Chyke Madu.
The Funkees were an afro-rock group formed in Nigeria in 1969. It wasn't long before promoters ithe UK came calling and they packed up their instruments and moved to London where they quickly established a fierce reputation on the live circuit and quickly gained prominence in the expatriate West African and West Indian music scene. They specialised in funky, upbeat, highly dance able afro-rock. Chyke, born in 1949 in Lagos, joins PJ to tell us the story of The Funkees.

For my 45th birthday, I grabbed forty-five 45s and threw together this mix! Ran through most of them pretty quick so it's a little rough but hopefully a fun listen!
