Nigel & Elaine Keeping The Faith in Sheffield

Hi Nigel
We'll see you nice and early on Sunday

Hope you can manage without your better half

Andy and Sheila

Nigel & Elaine you are the first guys who have managed to bring us all together under one roof for a glorious afternoon of soulful tunes! I know it has taken you a long time to manage to find this venue, it has been and is always a privilege to be asked to spin a few tunes for you all- I am very excited about this coming sunday epecially the opportunity of hearing Casper from the wonderful Blackheart club as well as Chris Brooke play some of their vinyl. The first one at the Bessie in January has set the bar for yet another top session of soul music!

In anticipation, atb and ktf!

Mickey (Back2Basics@Attercliffe Libs, Beverley Street, Sheffield 1st Friday of the month)

Hi Nigel and Elaine,

Can you book me in for a spot, at this excllent Sunday event (i say Sunday but this would be a great event on any day of the week!) and with any luck i might get to follow "top warm up Dj" Micky "C" only joking there Micky but you did make things pretty easy for me last time.

This will be my second outing as a DJ over the weekend, i'm playing over in Salford at the Black Lion on the Saturday (booked on my performance behind the decks at this very event) but i enjoyed the Bessemer so much last time i'm putting my policy of getting "Soul Overload" on hold and doing the double but i've learned my lesson from last time and i'm only bringing the smallest of record boxes with me!

Looking forward to seeing everybody there.

Go steady

Russ

Ya thats no probs ! see you sunday

Nigel & Elaine Keeping The Faith in Sheffield

Hello Nige,
thanks for another crackin' Sunday Me & Sue had a ball, brill music, great friendly atmosphere, great people. All DJ's did superb spots, entertained us with a fantastic range of A T B sounds & kept the dance floor busy. The "lady" who books the DJ's in did'nt look glamourous this month.... (lol) & managed to cock it up. Joking aside had a realy great time again, can't wait for next month. Barry everybody asked about you, you were missed pal, hope you're better & back with us soon.
Thanks again Nigel, you're a star, see you all soon, Woody & Sue

Fabulous afternoon and evening down in S1.
Brilliant atmosphere and a diverse array of sounds by all the deejays, with a throbbing dancefloor to boot.
Many thanks Nige for having me on and a big pat on the back for getting this great event rollin'.
See you soon,

Chris Brooke

Eyup Nigel
Another excellent afternoon. Great range of music from a top set of DJs. It may be just my personal feeling, but I thought the quality of tunes this month was slightly better than last month - a bit more variety with a touch of the unknown and unexpected from time to time. Excellent! (That's not knocking last month, by the way.) Had a few chats with folks. It all made for a great social event. Pity, the nutters outside put a bit of an edge on things for a short while, but that won't be a problem again hopefully. Well done to the staff at Bessemer (and the local Plod) for keeping an eye on that.
See you soon
John & Helen

no probs send you a menu caspers mrs said she was well impressed with it! tryed to nick some of her curly chips !! just listen to your spot on md what a set of top tunes hope you will do me a spot at the next one
Nigel & Elaine Keeping The Faith in Sheffield

Many thanks to Nigel and ALL the dj's who gave up their time to share their vinyl with us. I don't think there was any of the crowd there who left disappointed, there was an eclectic mix and tunes that managed to hit a sweet spot whatever your genre. Did enthuse about Casper's Natural Soul Brother, terrific to hear and see you and Susan again, look forward to kgb this sat! Bob H, Ray Copley, Yocki, Andy Jones,

Alyn Hodgson and his Almeta Latimore sublime, apologies but it was looking a bit hairy outside with the hoolies, big thanks to Rebekah and door staff, see you all sat nite at KGB.
Keep The Faith
Mick

Enjoyed the bit of SOS club we managed to get to...had a bit of a hectic weekend and those b****y roadworks on the M1 did my head in on the way back to Donny but it was all worth it. Top tunes to listen and dance to and a really nice atmosphere despite the slight disturbance from the footie people outside...enjoyed it all. Might not make it next time but will definitely be back in Sheffield soon...hoping to make next KGB with any luck. Great pics in the gallery too!
See you all again soon Sue and Woody

Hi ya thanks for doing a spot again, infact just been playing back all the DJ spots! some nice tunes from yourself! sorry cant make it to killamarsh as I am DJing myself, will do my best to get to your next one, also it would be nice if Tony B would pop down to the next SOS do at the Bessemer. it would be great to have him do a spot.

Nigel & Elaine KEEPING THE FAITH IN SHEFFIELD

Sorry I couldn't make it last sunday, looks like I missed a cracking day. Enjoyed the first one and this one looked just as good.
Thanks for everyones concern and asking about me. It's great having so many friends who care, thanks to you all. Ended up in hospital again monday morning while tuesday dinner, but everything looks ok for now, so should be out and about this weekend, see you all soon, I'll be back at the Bessemer for my spot next month, get me booked in now please Elaine, ta. Barry, KGB, KTF.

Phew, im glad you all managed to enjoy it despite the idiots outside. At least we know it was only becasue of the football and it won't happen again! many thanks to whoever played 'out of time' my all time favourite song, i think it was Nigel.. Can't wait for the next one!

Hi everyone, we both really enjoyed the event,but sadly left early as the football lot were spoiling things outside great idea an afternoon soul session as we both have work the next day and i need to get the 8hrs beauty sleep in lol.

First time anywhere we have had a proper meal ( no cooking no dishes or washing up even to do heaven) and been able to listen to our favorite music, only a pitty that we didn't get to hear Russ (The lucky bookie play) due to a rostering mix-up brought on by the problems outside and the spots getting messed up look forward to the next one though.

Lynn xXx

ps nice to see a lot more ladies than normal, and can anybody tell me what was the record played that had the words to start it that went " gotta go girl and honey have i got news for you"? in it what a belter of a class tune

lynnissohot, on 29 February 2012 - 04:33 PM, said:

Thanks for your kind words, next one I will go out of my way to make sure Russ gets a spot! I will be buying him a drink at the libs this friday to make up for it! trying to do too much on sunday by myself! next one has Elaine back with me, I am so glad you enjoyed the day! The Bessemer is a great city centre pub, we are so lucky to have such a nice venue, I spent a year trying to get the right venue, and I think I have pulled it off, thanks to the Bessemer management Andy and Rebeka and all the staff. I have taped the day, and will be doing CDs of the DJs spots, can you remember what time you heard the tune you asked about or what DJ was on.

Nigel & Elaine KEEPING THE FAITH IN SHEFFIELD

Hi Nigel, we had a lovley afternoon thank you so very much for all the hard work you have put in to making this a great event, and you have bagged a great venue in the Bessermer, we could even park the car for free (after we mastered the Sheffield city centre one way system) there was a really friendly crowd in as well we had a lovley table and could even get to the bar without any problems (an essential for Pete)

It must have been so very hard for you on Sunday trying to fit everybody in, and contend with all the football related problems that were going on outside (thankfully that was a once of and won't happen again) on your own but you did a cracking job....well done that man!!!

Russ is a lovely bloke and we love his spot on the radio and we always listen, i think he knows that these things happen and it was beyond your control but the drink might sway him LOL. Love the idea of a CD of the DJs who were playing that day.Looking forward to the next one.

Lynn xXx

Ps i think it was between the was between 6pm and 7pm when i heard the mystery song not sure though, don't think it was a Motown number though

lynnissohot, on 29 February 2012 - 04:33 PM, said:

Hi Lynn,

I played a 60's stormer with the line, "....but I've got news for you and I want you to listen to me..."

but that would have been around 8PM.

All the best,

Chris Brooke

Hi thanks again for your support! just listening to the MDs of sunday will check that time frame for you!
you never know we might find your tune,

Nigel & Elaine KEEPING THE FAITH IN SHEFFIELD

Hi Chris and Nigel

Sorry boys's it's all becoming a blur now, perhaps it my have even been a bit of "Blue Eyed" sorry that's about as good as it get, i don't think it would have been your spot Chris (would have loved to have heard you though, but will catch you next time xXx) as i was getting a little uneasy with the football lot outside and asked Pete to take me home, as soon as some of them started to come into the Bessermer, but they were well behaved thank goodness.
Well done with the CD Nigel that has to be a great idea, once again top even with lovely people and great music.

Lynn xXx

Ps Girls forget the cooking the Sunday lunch, and get ya fella to take you to the Bessermer

Hi there Lynn,

Sorry i didn't see you or Pete on Sunday but it was busy as always, i'll get you both a drink next time i see you both, I'm think the record you're asking about was played by "The Warm Up King" Micky "C" and it's Junior Cambell and Sweet Illusion pure Blued Eyed Soul



Don't worry Nigel, you had you're hands full trying to juggle the DJ spots (and without you PA ..."Miss T" where where you?) and the football boys outside were starting to create a few moments but that said once again a cracking venue and a wide selection of sounds this month getting an outing, many thanks to the young lady who liked my last spot great of you to say and i thank you for that but you'll get me on the next one i quite fancy 6:30 Nigel as i get to pick my spot as way of a sorry (only joking Nigel and once again thanks for wanting to buy me a beer but no need to very kind though)

So just to re-cap what has already been said, you really can't do much better than the Bessermer on a Sunday afternoon great venue, nice people, quality music and you can get fed and watered there too, now that's a result as we say in the trade.

See you all at the next one, go steady and be lucky.

Russ

Hi Russ,

That sounds like it could be the one, never heard the song before, but i love it even if it isn't, you don't hear enough of these old blue eyed soul spins nowadays (mores the pity) i suppose the're all banned today by the "Soul Police" any chance of Nine Times Out Of Ten, What, or The Joker Went Wild, at the next one lol.

Love Lynn xXx
