Did Soulgalore at Crofton last night and Martyn Bird played a right belter of a track I had been trying to place for a while now: KENI LEWIS - WHAT'S HER NAME

 

Super tune and first or second time I have heard this, what do you think?

 

 

Agree with you, been after this for a while now, keep missing it or outbid at the last moment everytime on ebay

Super tune needs to be played more often

wasn't there one on here recently for sale? could have been a list I suppose, sure I've seen one somewhere for sale recently.

There was one for sale at Soul Essence last week, in a little box, as opposed to a dealer, was £250. I have loved this record for many a year, had assumed it had lost favour a little in recent times with the pace raising generally, but no doubt a class tune IMO.

Russ

very nice indeed, first time ive heard it, i imagine it sounds brill out on a big system

I think Andy Rix was mainly responsible for giving this some plays, altho wouldnt wanna swear to that & certainly wasnt exclusive to him........love it to bits.

Russ

That's odd, I have heard this everywhere over the last couple of years, not heard it for about 6 months due to the fact I thought it was played out!

Yep..it was mine. Went fast as well think I had it up for 200 quid.

Had to sell some choons but really wished this one hadn't gone.

Oh Well the new car is in the driveway and I have an mp3 of it.

I had a spare up a while back, sold it to Flanny for £110 bargain

I like it but can he sing? George Lemons move over!

ROD

One in sales right now!

Cheers Paul

Great tune - as is "Aint Gonna Make It Easy" by Mr Lewis.

Oh well........i didnt start until 3 years later......didnt hear this until at least the 8ts.......those pesky Mecca DJ's !, however, was this a one spin wonder back then ?, as i cant imagine it being a very in vogue kinda sound then ?......some would even have difficulty with it now .

Russ

a one spin wonder

I like that!

I can remember it being £25 in the mid 90s and both derek pearson and jim eddleston playing it at the wilton. i got one soon after that from blake hellewell and ive given it the odd spin over the years. not played it in a while tho its still in the box

DIDN'T REALLY HEAR IT PLAYED IN REGULARITY AT THE VENUES I ATTENDED UNTIL THE MID TO LATE 90T'S WHICH IS WHEN I GOT MY COPY OFF BLAKE HELLIWELL. NEVER REALLY THORT HE WAS MUCH OF A SINGER ON THIS PARTICULAR OUTING, BUT THATS DUE TO THE TYPE OF UPBEAT QUIRKY SONG THAT IT IS AND THE WAY HE DELIVERED HIS VOCAL. ON OTHER RECORDS LIKE THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED..AINT GONNA MAKE IT EASY HE SINGS BETTER AND SMOOTHER.

BRI PINCH.

SUNDAY CHILLOUT, 7TH JUNE, HORSE AND GROOM PUB, EAST LAITH GATE, DONCASTER.

Bri, that's a good call on the "quirkiness" Keni Lewis does rather sound as if he has swallowed a pickled egg at the start of the track but that is part of the appeal.

I did think there was a warp on the track when I first heard it, now I am convinced the fooker was doing pickled eggs.

I really like this record but the Andy Rix acetate 'Not The Marrying Kind' is something else...top ten record imho

Both WHN & NTMK have unusual guitar work in them which make the records...

Love it to bits but wouldn't play it out if I had a copy. The lyrics make me sit down and listen to it instead of wobbling around the floor to it...
