Lifeline Real Deal Rare Soul All Nighter 8th Anniv

The 100's Club one and only Ady Croasdell will be our Special Guest for our 8th Anniversary All-nighter. You will be hopefully be treated to the recent Pied Piper discoveries including tracks from The Cavaliers (Superb it is too), Tony Hestors original version of Just Can't Leave You, another gem, and others from September Jones, Telma Hopkins and more!! All this and the regulars all adds up to one top night of Rare Soul.

Looks like we will be there, nice and early to get the parking space.

Looking forward to hearing Ady and as its my birthday (and not Ian's) I hope he will play something I like.

See you there

Hi Yah Chalky,
I am thinking of coming to the Real Deal Soul Club for the first time and just wondered if I needed to purchase a ticket. Could you also let me know if the Premier Inn is close by? I will be travelling up from Kent.
Thanks
Tracey

Hi Tracey, further to the PM some more hotels in the area, and of course for anyone else interested...

Oh no, he has moved up from the Jag. God forbid, he wouldn't be seen dead in such junk

Hey Joan
Be good to see you backin your rightful place on the Lifeline dancefloor they've had your area roped off in your absence.
Pray do tell what the make of Phil's new car is I'd hate to tie a bow in the wrong person's ariel!

Trains and hotels booked, there's good deals at Ramada Birmingham North in Cannock, how the hell I get to Lifeline from there I don't know but I'll be snug for £40 for a 4 star gaff.

We'll be there, god knows what time as popping to a birthday bash first but we'll be there! - Got new shoes! :O)

All the best,

Len.

Just go west on A5 toward Telford and M6 North and after about 3/4 mile turn left on Wolverhampton Road, takes you to Junction 11 of M6, stables is just past there mate. Take you 15 minutes maximum.

Andy and myself will be passing around 8 to 8.30 Ady if that is any use, we can pick you up. If you want an extra hour or so snoozing then I'm sure others will be passing at some point. Either way you are two or three miles from the venue.

Marky Tee, on 06 February 2012 - 02:24 PM, said:

Sounds like a tricky walk!

chalky, on 07 February 2012 - 07:39 PM, said:

Thanks but I'll need a bit more beauty sleep then Chalky, I can grab a cab or hitch it.

ady croasdell, on 10 February 2012 - 11:24 AM, said:

No worries Ady, wise decision really, can be hazardous with Andy in the car and if Al Coney in there as well....well who knows!!!! I know my car is usually nothing like it was when I left home

ady croasdell, on 10 February 2012 - 11:24 AM, said:

Hi Ady as Mick won't be there?? as far as I am aware?? if you need anything just give me a nod! i also must state i am 200% better than when I wrote a few months back? so I am looking foreward to the special WOW! FACTER From you and BUTCH, Looking foreward to seeing both of you sages of the Rare Soul Scene, DAVE the Blade

I know Mick's had some procedure in hospital and I've seen Andy this afternoon and as far as we know he will be ok for Lifeline. Any change and we will let you know.

Ady, what time do you plan leaving hotel?

chalky, on 11 February 2012 - 04:47 PM, said:

Tennish depending on the evening siesta

ady croasdell, on 06 February 2012 - 12:09 AM, said:

I assume you've arranged with brother Mick H and Chalky for them to cover all these hotel and travel expences to be deducted from their dj fee's ?
More exciting updates and news flashes soon about Hop-a-long cassidy and his recovery....no doggy style for a few months then !

ady croasdell, on 13 February 2012 - 03:06 PM, said:

Tennish? I hope you dont get "court" out and overlay Ady.Chalky will be able to "point" you in the right direction for the Stables.
Hope you can "rally" yourself in time for your spot and i'm sure you'll "serve" up some crackers.Along with the other dj's its "game ,set and match".

"Advantage" Lifeline i think....

....all the best,,,,Fred Perry.

Deuced good reply Fred, cant find any fault there - don't let it go to your head though!
Lots of love...........Rod Laver

chalky, on 11 February 2012 - 04:46 PM, said:

Hi Chalkey I must have got my wires crossed or something? as I spoke to Mick to see what was up, and he said nothing was wrong and had no hospital appt? also I reminded him that this would be the 1st All Nighter that I will be at in the last 20 years that he wont be at, he asures me that I will be OK!.

Steve L, on 15 February 2012 - 10:09 PM, said:

It's a poor copy of the original..................

chalky, on 16 February 2012 - 08:15 PM, said:

Cheers Chalky it's gonna be Okeh! once there, especially knowing Lou & Dave are about!
I blame all the chemicals that the Doctors say I must take! and I not talking about those chemicals?
Cheers again for every thing mate, really looking forward to this night of nights,
Respect to you all, Dave K

Dave
how did i manage that,my appols sir,i will correct it

Bollox...it's my turn to drive....it's bad enough listening to that pair of 'owd Stoke farts whinging and moaning all the way there, but having to then stay sober and hear 'em on the way back is another!

Oh, and best frisk Adam Topping for any antwacky amstrad amps he wants to plug in upstairs...swear it was that fcuker and his dodgy equipment who kept tripping your power last time......though thinking about it, those 3 consectutive spins of the Hopkins Bros could possibly have had the same effect......probably sent the fcukin' deck to sleep...

Is Mick H on crutches then......might have to take me junior hacksaw.....

Yes Mace ,sticks under me arms that night,however with the pampering i will get from Andy Dyson,running to the bar for me all night

helping me to the bog every 20 mins

checking i,m in good health, it don,t get any better

Mick

ruppy, on 17 February 2012 - 01:44 PM, said:

You might want to rethink that option....he's got a pretty strong hand shake you know....

Roll on next Saturday and Lifeline to preserve my sanity and faith in what is right in the world!!!

ruppy, on 17 February 2012 - 01:44 PM, said:

I've spent enough time wiping your arse-which is exactly where that crutch will end up going if you've taken another booking next saturday... and what's more Chalky says you can buy your own lilettes(sure that's not the correct spelling) in which case tampons, next time ... Righty'o it's getting to that time of the "month" for another slice of the lifeline roadshow more exciting updates to follow !

ruppy, on 17 February 2012 - 01:44 PM, said:

hope Andy has some rubber gloves lol

Will be up to this as per!! Any chance of a sales table?

Des

I reckon we can squeeze you in Des :-)

looking forwards to life line, but note to self gotta keep outa the record bar !

mrs soul, on 20 February 2012 - 08:30 PM, said:

Yeah right! I'll remind you of that on the night if you like Lou.

Len and I aiming to be there again, hopefully filling my car with a couple more from Northants if anyone reading from Rushden / Wellingborough area wants a lift.

Cheers, Steve.

Well we've got a world exclusive for you. A great southern 60s soul stomper by Herman Moore cut at Muscle Shoals. I rushed to get an acetate cut of it for the last 100 Club; it arrived just in time and then I left it on the dining room table! It has the Butch seal of approval, so it'll be OK to dance to it. lol

Looking forward to Saturday night and celebrating my birthday.

We should be there early to get our parking space.

So see you there

Think it is Sharon's birthday as well so couple to celebrate and what better with an first time play for Ady's new choon.....looking forward to everything, seems ages since the last one.

ady croasdell, on 22 February 2012 - 12:32 PM, said:

Sounds interesting indeed, look forward to hearing it.
Word back from the sound people all on course as are the dj's etc.. and special thanks to Mace for offering to run the security .. "Mick hop-a-long the crutch n cut playing kid will help out on the front too.. you will of course get 10 % extra wages after the first 500 are through the door ah....

chalky, on 22 February 2012 - 04:13 PM, said:

I'm going to be there celebrating my birthday as well, at this rate Andy is going to have to bake at least half a dozen birthday cakes to bring with him

Nice one Adam, Ady got a new record to play you :-) See you Saturday pal.

train booked bring it on

chalky, on 19 February 2012 - 05:51 PM, said:

Squeeze him in where?
Do we have to let him out afterwards?

looking forward to a night out with my confederates..........think irish is out of hiding for this one.....just hope theres no "out of town torpedos" there to "wack him out" lol

Loads of birthdays to celebrate.Happy Birthday all of you.(saved on cards again..).
Can't wait.

OK, here's a dilemma for you.

I've just got an utterly stunning unissued Motown on master tape but won't have time for an acetate. If you Lifeline bros fancy another world exclusive to be played tomorrow night, set up a CD player on the decks.

Debate!

Ady

IM WALKING ISH FROM NORTH WALES
ANY LIFTS-ANYWHERE ALONG THE WAY
BUS PASS WILL GET ME TO WELSH BORDER
OR WHERE EVER
NEED TO SPEND MY £9.76 POCKET MONEY
PLEASE!

There's CD decks in the system already Ady....

I use them regularly for CD only tracks (of course)....

Travel plans all gone to the wall thanks to the Evil fog hovering over the channel Islands.

I now need a lift from Gatwick or London up to Lifeline, very willing to chip in with petrol or even the driving.

No need for that Andy, you can call off the villagers, pitchforks and burning torches..... and there'll be no need to rearrange the sound equipment, so leave the sledgehammer at home.....

Dysonsoul, on 24 February 2012 - 11:02 PM, said:

Bloody hell, half eight, does that mean you'll be ready on time :-)

Here's a rough idea of dj times,most likely subject to change..
9-10 chalky
10-11 cliff
11-12 mick h
12-1 soul sam
1-2.30 butch
2.30 - 4. ady croasdell
4-5 andy
5 -7 mick,sam and rob smith

The line up looks great so thinking of coming to Lifeline for the first time in about 7 years

Reading the comments suggests parking may be a problem and as I won't be there until a bit after the start I wondered if there's likely to be a shortage? Last time I was there some kind person in a white van smashed the front of my car and drove off costing me hundreds of pounds and my no claims).

Indywoman, on 25 February 2012 - 05:07 PM, said:

Parking should be ok, a large car park in front of the building and the door staff always on hand to help out.

As ever a fantastic night, great to be back at Lifeline,,,,far to many highlights to list individually

Thanks to all cocerned

Harpo

First visit to the Stables for awhile but that's a mistake I won't be making again.Cracking night,top music,great atmosphere what more do you want from a nighter.Ady's Ben E King took top honours on the night for me,forgotten how good it sounds at a venue.Who played Dee Dee Warwick-Worth Every Tear I Cry (Butch I think?) as I've not heard that in ages & that also sounded great.
Well done all
Cheers
Martyn

Morning.. or should I say afternoon... Great night really enjoyed the music heard some of my current faves loud and also heard many fresh to my ears which were awesome. I can well understand why Butch is still held in such high regardand why people still travel to see Dj's , his set just blew me away , but the one that came home with me written on one of Maria's cute little flyers/business cards was .......

MILTON JAMES - MY LONELY FEELINGs...the beat entered the brain like an electric current and travelled at a rapid pace of ferrari speed to me toes....amazing !

When it kicked in I looked at Nige and he looked at me.... Tune of the night or what , it was just awesome. I had to go and ask Arthur ... I need to know what this is.

It was also lovely to hear the Grey Imprint Loud and proud , trouble is it was too early in the night and I had just arrived so I didn't feel ready to hit the floor as the environment was new to me. I was still easing in , if you know what I mean.

It was great to see a few chums as normal and shock a few that I was there , cause you know nighters are far and few for me, it takes me too long to recover. so I tend to leave them to others .

But I need to hear that tune again ...soon

Great venue , good to see its well supported , and how much it inspired me can't be measured. Sorry I couldn't make it through to the end , but I did I what I could and enjoyed every minute of it.

Lovely to be able to see Ady play beyond the 100 , I do hope the late night coupled with the unusual travelling doesn't have too much of an effect on him today , and also that he remembers the thrill of radiating his sounds to many that don't normally hear him. Lets hope it fuels him to play up north more often because Dj's that can play with the variation of tempo as well as the quality of the sound are few.

Hi Martyn,nice to see you last night,yep butch played Dee Dee Warwick,Ben E King sounded AWESOME last night,wonder if it will ever get a kent vinyl release ???,any clues on the track butch played,hook line was something like "I am the leader"??

micksmix, on 26 February 2012 - 01:53 PM, said:

Hey Up Mick
Yes good to bump into you & the boss,looked like you were having as good a time as we were.
Sorry can't help with the Butch tune..........doing well to remember my name at the moment.No doubt one of the knowledgeable ones will help.
Cheers
Martyn

think it could have been the speed limit cover up

Carms, on 26 February 2012 - 01:44 PM, said:

good review that.

milton james did sound fantastic and for me was tune of the night as well. It realy hit the spot.

I don't know many of adys records so it was great to hear those and the floor stayed very busy.

nz soul, on 26 February 2012 - 02:22 PM, said:

thanks thought it might be a c/u,seem to remember him cutting it short,straight into william cummings,not a bad follow on record.................

A great night, really enjoyed it. All night the music was excellent, and heard plenty of my favourites. Loads of friends there, particularly nice to see Keith Miller, Carms and Nige, Martyn and Lynn and many others. Thanks to Trickster for driving, and good to see Andy Newman again. Hope you get the plane back home okay.

Nice to hear some of Ady's 100 Club exclusives in a larger venue, they went down very well on the dance floor.

Finally of course thanks to all the DJs and organisers, they all did a sterling job, Keep up the good work.

As said......superb night, in great company......

Another superb night at Lifeline .what was the title on Adys Detroit Spinners track ? ...some great sides played everyone ..cheers Eddie

harpo1, on 26 February 2012 - 10:35 AM, said:

it was fantastic night, harpo1, some lovely gems by butch and ady. nice to hear the pages from soul sam, well done lads.
cheers billy
ps. it was nice to share the floor with mr lee, excellent footwork. bruce would be proud of you, aka Bruce lee

Felt a bit out of sorts last night,but the wowdy webbles lifted my spiwits.Good company as usual.

Got to say like Eddie, i thought the Detroit Spinners track was fantastic...didn't catch the title though

HI ALL and can I say to all of the you who went last night, Thanks to one & all for making it a memrable ALL- NIGHT RARE SOUL EVENT, Especialy to the DJs and event organisors, only 3 moans from me, the awfull and I mean realy awfull version of STARVATION, HARPO! THE SPIDER SITTING IN THE CORNER OF HIS WEB? & The drunk man who patronised me! I am always aware of men who keep touching me, why people do this? I don't like it! never have, SPOOKY!, However apart from my block eye? it was a great night, you all made it so! Dave K

Thanks to all who made our 8th Anniversary a memorable night, numbers healthy, music fantastic as was the company. Thanks to all the Dj's especially our guest who we finally managed to drag out of London, Ady Croasdell. Plenty of comments about how many enjoyed what he played as they rarely get the chance to hear him up t'north. The Detroit Spinners superb, I was stood by him and pretty sure he didn't mention a title unless I'd gone deaf.

Sorry I missed you Dave Kil, I came looking for you but you must have gone? I did spot you earlier, you should have come and hit me with that stick.

Can't believe how quickly the night went! Heard so many of my favourite records but must admit that butch and ady were particlarly playing to my tastes last night from the "a girl can dream" midtempo & 70s wants to the fast-paced passion, inspiring attempts at youth on the floor. Seriously needed a good night out dancing (after being glued to a desk every day for the last few weeks) so arrived very hypo, but left exhausted with very strange hair after 5:30. Still smiling today.
Many thanks to the dj's + and all the guys & girls of the Lifeline crew. Nice to catch up with a few people again too.
-tired m-

HI CHALKY & All the team, I had A great night thanks to everyone, and I am not mucking about, but as I have broken me specks, I have varifocals? I could not see people, I nearly left without speaking to Butch, I said to Little Scotty he must have gone straight off home, he said he has been sitting 15 foot away from you for ages????? true & the same with Paul Hair pin AKA Harpo the Spider, I have noted this issue on the back of a RIZLA paper, bot had to use it as there was no bog roll? Cheers again DAVE69

My first Lifeline last night and I felt very at home there! Rare tracks, great music and with Ady providing exclusive stuff, made it quite special i.e Motown - spinners. which felt a natural dancer.

Left 5:30am as I was the worse for wear! but a very good allnighter. Floor was great; everyone had awareness, even when it filled - no-one getting in the way of each other. No-one been hassled, or unwanted lewd behaviour. Highly recommended!!

Great night as usual, Butch's spot was dynamite!
Thanks to all concerned!
