HALL OF FAME

Every Friday Morning after 09:15 on Sanctuary Radio, we add a new artist to our Hall of Fame. Below is a list of each artist inducted into the Hall of Fame, and next to them are links for some media files and interviews about them.

How to suggest your favourite?

If you have an artist in mind from the Soul, Funk, House or Dance genre then you can nominate them in two different ways. Firstly you can email me at jonopearceradio@gmail.com or you can complete the message box below and we will consider your artist. Please in your nomination, tell us why they should be inducted and any stories you have about them or claim to fames. Due to the number of submissions it may be a few weeks until you hear your suggested artist.
