Mike 9,194 Posted March 14, 2019 Paul Adding a flyer works best if you add the event flyer to the main event page as a cover image (hit the 'manage event' button - then choose 'edit details' -then look for 'cover image' and upload via the 'choose single item button' One uploaded as a cover image it then shows... As a cover image on the top of the event page (you can alter the position of it if needed later) Clickable thumbnail on the event side bar Also may show on highlights/feeds elsewhere on site Automatically shows off site when posted/shared to twitter, facebook etc etc cheers mike Link to comment

Paul Conroy 41 Posted January 19, 2020 DJ Introduction Mr George Wallace As a teenager in the 60's I always loved the new sounds from Motown, The Four Tops and Temptations while all my pals liked The Beatles and Rolling Stones. Joined the Royal Navy in 1966 and was in Far East for until the end of 1969, loved going out in Singapore buying loads of Soul albums. Came up to Scotland with the Navy in 1972 and met Maureen, we were both into Northern Soul already, got married in 1974 and lived here in Fife ever since, started Dj'ing at the Angus Hotel in Dundee and did most of the early nights up here, Walkers, Tiffanys, Marriot, Clouds, and loads more, was also lucky enough to have been asked to Dj in Bologna, Italy and Gothenburg, Sweden, eventually took over promoting "The Spiders Web" from Kenny Burrell and Derek Robertson and had a great time doing that up until they closed it in 2014, eventually stopped Dj'ing Northern and sold all the collection in 2012 but have since carried on doing Modern Soul nights which I was also collecting since the mid nineties.
