cheers Billy, we weren't happy with bar and the machine in other side not working but we will have a go at the management about it.

Andy played George Blackwell, as you say brill record. As we say you can't play unknown and semi known all night or people will lose interest so you have to strike a balance.

What a top night at life line........loads of mental people listening to some top draw music.....we had a ball one and all. Thanks for the tune andy.......didn,t realise it was the hopkins family lol steve g on good form in all social and djing departments. Big up for geoff (steves pal ) always a pleasure to chat a thouroughly proper bloke. Might add (hope ya don,t mind mate ) Geoff has retired from work and it,s a credit to see him enjoying the whole night when so many on other threads are too tired or too old to do anything when they're in their 40's....lots of dancers ,lots of trancers and one or two chancers lol couldn,t think of a better way to celebrate my birthday or with better folk.......except the guy from wellingborough in his son,s tank top ....tezza & jan

Thanks for your very kind words Tezza, much appreciated. You and all my other friends know my love for the music, it keeps me going, that is true, don't know what I'd do without it and going out and seeing friends all over the country. I do sometimes wonder if people are secretly saying what's that old fool (or any other noun you care to use) doing here and jumping around on the dance floor. But until I can't do it any more I will continue to go out and enjoy our music, can't imagine my life without it.

Thanks Martin for those words, much appreciated. And thank you for driving up there and to yourself and Karen for your company. Sorry I drifted off on the way home.

[Geoff]

There isn't much I could add to the comments already posted on a wonderful allnighter. The music was (as usual) top class. As the Hopkins Brothers is my current favourite dance tune I was in heaven when it got played three times, and I danced to it each time. It was mentioned that it was played at Wigan, is that true? First record I danced to was Too Late by Black Sugar played by Cliff Steele, strangely that was the first one I danced to at my last visit back in February. Plenty of new tunes (at least to me) played but plenty I knew. I agree with Chalky, you do need to mix things up with some perhaps lesser played old classics as well as new spins. Great to see Steve G on top form, thanks for playing the Poets and the Richard Marks track I requested.

There were some sound problems, especially during Foolish Girl. It's a pity the bar closed when it did, about that time I'd have fancied a cup of coffee, hopefully that can be sorted out. I thought the dance floor was just right, nice and slidey. There were loads of my friends there, for me that really helps to make a great night. Thank you all for listening to my ramblings. And a special thanks to my 2 travelling companions, Martin who drove and Karen, your company was great and didn't we have some good laughs in the car?

And a final thanks to the DJs and organisers, a great night, long may it continue.

Loved it. Enjoyed both being there and also being guest DJ. For a bit the left hand deck was playing up but Dave Thorley maaged to sort it out All round a top night. Lorraine and I turned up "early" (apparantly) at 10.30, and the place was already buzzing, and that didn't stop all night. Roll on the next one with Arthur Fenn as the guest.

[SOUL.INC]

Excellent night again, particularly enjoyed Steve' selections, and nice to see "Soul Sensations - Baby I Love You" getting another airing at this excellent club!!

I had a copy in 2007 which I played out a bit at Bidds/New Century and a few other places, but then sold it to Alex Jones, which he played at Lifeline last Year. I'm pretty sure they may be "The Agents" in a later incarnation. I have multiple versions, with different arrangements of this, with some never making it to the Acetate stage - which are pretty good. Phil Gaber did 3 Acetates of this, all similar BUT not identical, all with slightly different arrangements, also 1 was single sided, and 2 had different ballads on the flip. It's a great track and top marks for giving it a well deserved spin!!!

Bit of a belated thanks from my side,thumbs up to a great bunch of loyal soul music lovers from all over the great brittish country side,saturday was a very important nite for lifeline ! Guest steve was thrown in right in the deep end and did a sterling job.
October brings Arthur Fenn of the glen.. c.u all there hopefully !

I don't get as often as I would like but I did mention the club to a few lads who went along for their first time and they all enjoyed it.

With regard to the bar problem, perhaps one of the promoters could sell bottled water, at a profit, after the bar closes next time? I'd buy it Otherwise I shall pop some bottles in the car to retrieve after the bar has closed. This reason wouldn't stop me attending; I'd happily wither prune-like than miss it

We won't have a problem with that if you want to bring your own for after 4am if this was to happen again but we will try and get drinks for punters.

I can't ever see you being prunelike Karen. Agree with you about water availability. I thought it was a legal requirement.
