Greety Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Firstly, just like to say thanks for the various nice comments which have been posted about my set. Much appreciated. The main point I would like to make is re the crowd at Lifeline. Every time I've been there it's the same. Does'nt matter who's on, the dancers there are up for it. Records of any style, from any era, it makes no difference, you could'nt clear that dancefloor with a hand grenade! Top people! Finally, must mention Jud from Wallsall who asked for Betty Fikes on Saturday night, well done sir!! Chalkie and Andy. Thanks for asking me. Link to comment

Quinvy Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Posted for Karl Heard........ Although under the weather, I had a fantastic time and couldn't have wished for a better 50th birthday celebration. Thanks for all the cards and pressies, and again, I will thank all of you personally when I see you next. Thanks to Jerry Brown for the lift there and back, and sorry we missed the Gloucester boys, due to the detour. Thanks to the promoters for a fantastic night of soul that I will never forget. Finally to my good mate Mick H. for giving me the opportunity to play some records, and share the stage with him, which I enjoyed immensely. Last but definitely not least, a big thank you to Marcelle for all her hard work and effort with the food and the fantastic cake and all the trimmings......WONDERFUL! THANK YOU SO MUCH! Karl Heard.

Geeselad Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 GREAT NIGHT GREAT CROWD GREAT MUSIC LOTS OF QUALITY TUNES IVE NEVER HEARD BEFORE!!! CAN I JUST MAKE ONE POINT WITHOUT ANYONE SLATING ME YOU WERE USING A TURBO SOUND SYSTEM FOR THE PA GREAT SYSTEM BUT A BIT TOO LOUD TOO TOPY (TOP END) NO BASE PS WHEN IS NEXT ONE Hate to crit such an ace night but i have to agree with you Vin, the system seemed OK downstairs, but I had to come out of the record bar due to real ear pain from the high end of the system, i felt sorry for the dealers up there. Solving this would make this event perfection. Link to comment
Chalky Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I went into the record bar and got earache so I did go and alter the decks, when I went back they seemed ok to me, I asked Butch and he said they sounded better. We will mention it to the sound guys and they will sort for next time. Link to comment
Guest Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Great night, absolutely superb and what a trip all round, thanks to Roger and Sue for putting up with me, Widd, Winnie, Greety and Guy in the morning, words fail me to describe such shenanigans!!! Thanks to the Banbury lads for helping us out on lifts too. Greety, well done mate, superb set, definetly the best of the night, like I said, proud of you. Moment of the night for us lot...

Maria O Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Just a quickie coz been a bit busy since and hope to catch up on sleep properly tonight... Thanks to the Lifeline crew - really enjoyed the night! Special thanks to Dave Greet for playing that really nice song on Balance (sent Ady to investigate details for my dig) and to Karen & Pete for driving us all that way and back. I ran away from the fancy dress people (they scare me) and thought it was Mid level (not bass) that was missing from the sound - so not that major. I know I shared some lovely company and may've even had a dance or two with the irresistable sounds. ...all went so fast m (hope I recover in time for the Wilton) Link to comment
Guest Garry-C Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Another great night at Lifeline, top soul sounds and the best company and as it's only 4 miles from where I live, no more could be asked for. A big thank you to the organisers. I have only missed one niter since you moved down here and don't intend to miss many more. Nice to meet you Mr. Greet you big southern softie from Reading, as you put it, while being introduced to you at the bar by my big mate Brian DeHondri from Watford. You performed admirably for such a softie and enjoyed your spot the most but then couldn't find fault with any of the DJ's as the night was danced away. Looking forward to next one in February just disappointed it's 4 long months away Garry Link to comment

Raremusicdirect Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Been a little behind with the internet write ups and I'll keep this one fairly brief in light of the great advantage of going along with Karen is that she takes all the pics and writes a nice full review on her soulgirl site ; which I'm sure you all read. I had spent the afternoon (well 3hrs) at Vince Ayres' house and in the company of Dave Morris, trawled through and played many 45s which is surely the best way to spend any afternoon I spent a fair bit as was inevitable........... As my sat nav is particulalry poor it took me a while to renavigate but departing around 5.30 for Lifeline meant some haste to ensure an early doors arrival. Thankfully traffic was pretty light and save the inevitable speed restrictions we arrived around 8.15pm. I am not going to recall all the people I met and was introduced to from the usual suspects Derek - Malc - Gilly to the new : Toby - Steve Green - Martyn Bird - Steve Howard - Karl Heard........but it was very much the case, for whatever reason that EVERYONE seemed to be in full on party mode Those who made the costume effort well done !! I am almost evangelical for the music style and policy at Lifeline, It suits me to a tee..........This night was for sure the best soul nite of the year for me .........bar none. I can't rave 'bout it enough. It was the first time after an Allnighter that I wanted it to continue into the next day. Yes there were small issues about no draught beer, it still being a bit light for me {I like the darkness} but none of these mattered because the music and crowd were just right. There were so many tracks played and I spent a great deal of time dancing....certainly think Steve Green would fill a later slot too..........enjoyed Mike H and Karl Heard, Chalky and Cliff Steele - all great spots.......... The drive home was hard work in the torrential rain that commenced just prior Lifeline closure and never ceased for 3hrs ; but it sure was worth the effort !! A very expensive and tiring weekend, that required 2 days in recovery, but certainly well worth it. If you havent done Lifeline, its a must do for sure IMHO ....... Link to comment
