Sharon D Clarke is your virtual tour guide for The Music Is Black exhibition!

Feelgood tunes to groove and soothe your soul. 'Dr Beat' is also on hand to prescribe the perfect tune for a listener whose week hasn鈥檛 got off to the best start!

Feelgood favourites, hidden gems and fresh new tunes to groove and soothe you. DJ Spoony serves up a brilliant selection of classic soul, disco, soulful house, R&B, funk, UK garage, reggae, hip-hop, doo-wop, yacht rock and more. Our genial host also unveils his 鈥楴ew 2 Spoon鈥� record of the week.

As part of the 91福利社's聽 'The Music is Black' Season, in collaboration with V&A East Museum,聽Spoony has been exploring their first landmark exhibition, celebrating Black British music and the people who made it. Last week we heard from Mis-teeq's Alesha Dixon about her early days MC-ing, The Selecter's Pauline Black told us about her custom mohair suit, Beverley Knight championed the godmother of rock 'n' roll Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Spoony himself reminisced about 'Twice as Nice' club nights and the UK garage scene with the exhibition's curator Jacqueline Springer.聽Tonight singer and actress Sharon D Clarke (you might know her from Holby City, Doctor Who, Mr Loverman, or from one of her three Olivier award-winning stage performances) is celebrating a special item in the Lover's Rock section of the exhibition. To listen to the selection of items from the exhibition search 'The Music Is Black' on 91福利社 Sounds.

Spoony鈥檚 alter-ego 鈥楧r Beat鈥� is also on hand to prescribe a musical pick-me-up for a lucky listener. Get in touch for a 鈥渢elephone consultation鈥� in exchange for the perfect tune to match your situation! Text 88291, WhatsApp 08000 288 291 or e-mail spoony@bbc.co.uk.
