Popular Comment Winsford Soul 15,963 Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Popular Comment Thanks Martin . For a change I'm not going to actually request any tunes apart from one and as you know it's not new to me but it was to quite a few regular listeners. Kiki Dee. Love is a warm kind of sorrow I would just like to dedicate it to each and every single person who has been part of this amazing thing called BVAN, those who only managed to listen for a few records to those that have been a constant from week one , listeners, requesters , DJs and especially the wonderful people in the background who have made it all possible ❤ Love is certainly a warm kind of sorrow after tonight, tears maybe, sadness definitely, missing people who have become firm friends without ever knowingly meeting them definitely. Saturday nights will never be the same again. It's been a pleasure Thank you Edited July 13, 2021 by Winsford Soul 8 Link to comment

Popular Comment Andyf 123 Posted July 16, 2021 Popular Comment Hi Martin, Hope I'm not too late, but if I am no problem as what's been requested already looks fantastic. 1 Bobby Bland - I'm So Tired 2 5th Dimension - I'll Be Loving You 3 Tomorow's Men - Who's That Lady 4 Ivy Jo- I Can Feel The Pain 5 Creative Source - You Can't Hide Love 6 Brainstorm - Lovin' Is Really My Game 7 Pacesetters - I'm Gonna Make It 8 Art & Honey - Let's Make Love Now 9 GQ -Make My Dreams A Reality 10 Hokis Pokis - Can't Wait For Love 11 Lamont Dozier - Take Off Your Make Up 12 Splendor - Special Lady 13 Ice - Reality 14 Jack Ashford - This Ain't Another Dance Song 15 Norvells - Why Do You Want To Make Me Sad 16 Buddy Ace - Pleasing You 17 Uniques - I'll Do Anything 18 Danny Hunt - What's Happening To Our LOve Affai 19 Don Gardner - We're Gonna Make It Big 20 Jo Bataan - What Good Is A Castle All of these I first heard on BVAN, just goes to show you never stop learning.

Thanks again to all the BVAN crew and DJs, and all the regulars in the chatroom. 7 1 Link to comment

Thay have all been put to shame by this, coming together of like minded souls to listen to this music we love and chat .without any censorship, bullshit , politics, all served with fantastic knowledge and pure and simple fun and banter A member asked on Thursday via pm could he promote this event in our media forum as he thought that it was very quiet in the events and not much was happening , I replied... Quote We can't really allow such event promotion in other areas of the site as it could have a negative effect on the forum/feature plus other member would then see it and may then think its ok to do similar for their own events which would lead to a even more negative effect on the forums/features. The event guide is set up so that members can inform others of events and members can then comment etc without over running the rest of the site The member then went on last night to ignore this reply and post up a promotional post in the media forum for this event which was removed once aware Have no real wish to lock or close comments, topics etc but do expect members to respect our requests regarding the use of the site and is features, there are reasons for these and similar requests and follow on actions which are happy to discuss in the support forum Asking all involved or attending this event to keep the promotion in this event topic as requested If wish to discuss this matter further ask please use our support forum thanks 1 Link to comment

Popular Comment Thejackos 337 Posted July 17, 2021 Popular Comment Hi Martin and Simon, wishing you and your families a speedy recovery. We honestly don't think you truly realise what you have done these last 16 months. The team and everyone on BVAN (including the Keeper and all of the lurkers) have kept us buzzing all week. You gave us the opportunity to do a new to me set on the same night as a special friend and legend Gilly, we never thought that would happen in our lifetime. You are all legends to us, your commitment and passion is off the scale, we will never forget. Thank you for the knowledge and the special memories. Never say goodbye hope to see you soon. The Jackos. 7 2 Link to comment

Popular Comment Imperial C 844 Posted July 17, 2021 (edited) Popular Comment From me, my heartfelt thanks to everyone for being there, the goodwill, the love and the kindness that everyone showed at BVAN. Everyone brought their own magic to share with everyone else & magic it certainly has been. My biggest possible thank you to Simon for asking me to be involved at the outset and being the genius inventor he is, and making it happen. Martin L for his sheer love of music & people, an inspiration. I will look forward to chuckling at random for years to come at some of the comments and stuff that happened at BVAN and reflecting on what we all went through together, the more serious stuff. Most of all I will look forward to saying hello in person. Speedy recovery Simon, Martin & families Edited July 17, 2021 by Imperial C 8 2 Link to comment
