Guest frenchie Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Well we got there at 9 cos Stu kicked the night off, and what a cracker, Burnley is back on the map. Cannot say who did my favourite spot as they were all fantastic, haven't danced that much in a while, and yes I am suffering now with major knee swelling,. It was worth it. Apologies Joan for leaving just before you ended and also Pete, but Stu dragged me away he went on some kind of weird outing today at 12! Brilliant music, company, and great to see al the familiar faces. And then there is Louise...who kept me entertained, say no more . Dave T what can I say she is unique. See you all at the next one.

Mr Cogg thanks for entertaining me with those crap jokes. Also, nice to meet the lovely Imogen , enjoyed our chat about soulful house, new romantics and disco. Rosemary xx Link to comment
Guest gordon russell Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Fantastic..!!!!!....Burnley right back in the groove of all grooves. Lots of night time folk in attendance,great!!...Music....well up first mr Raith just aving fun with some nice listening/dancing tunes...Stu with a smile sooper!!...next new to me Ian Cunliffe,knew he,d have good tunes,but imagination?...no need to worry great spot. Andy Killick next....last two times i,ve heard Andy big and rare ,but not quite in the burnley groove...NOT THIS TIME what a fecking spot that man!!! he was up there really enjoying himself playing a sublime set of dance music and in the zone big time,great Forgot me old mate john mcc..sorry mate...great tunes and he does it for the love (mainly of danny lol)...Clifford (the legend) Camfield up next...what is the burnley sound? this man epitomises it. Cliffs set THATS A BURNLEY SET starts of with a first time out f**kin corking unknown tune and never let up unknowns,underplayed,current plays and a sprinkling of pure magic....what Cliff does thats different is each set contains 2or3 underplayed gems that has folk saying "wow don,t this sound great" then he leaves em alone.This man knows how to play dance music by instinct TOPPP!!!. Never heard Big phil T before...he played a slightly to mid tempo set for me,BUT it sure wern,t dreary and it had the dance floor oop and at em...he did good as a good thing and a fun bloke to boot.Joan next...what can we say about our Joan SHE NEVER FAILS TO GIVE HER ALL AS IF IT WERE HER LAST SET it was as is always from her double f**king kicking and some...well done girl. Lastly Pete Higson great tunes and what a hoot behind the decks...loved ya style....top bloke one small niggle.....5 til 6 at burnley ain,t the grave yard shift Burnley has always got better as the night goes on thats what makes it stand out and any time after 3 should be viewed as a challenge not the bums rush. Plenty of djs can do ok before 3.......only a certain type has whats required after that time cause it,s their duty to lift it not kill it.......as long as burnleys new man at the helm remembers this and has the djs with the right vibe for the right time of night it,ll be great........some of the best sets by phil,andy dyson,cliff camfield,karl heard and many more have all been after 3........thanks to everyone for a truely great night of music and frolics......peggy Babcock Link to comment
Jumpinjoan Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 I can only agree with what everyone has said. WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC NIGHT Without doubt one of the best, if not the best nights I have had at Burnley. I thought the standard of music played last night was just outstanding. The mix of old and new, the cheap and not so cheap was absolutely bang on in my opinion and the busy dance floor from start to finish was proof that I was not the only one to think so. People wanted to dance last night and dance they did Take a bow guys and gals... last night was a night to remember Link to comment

45heaven Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 Now I don't know if this is even in the right place but I'll have a punt anyway. (BTW, thanks to K for the long, rambling nature of this post, and I'd like to thank him personally for my lockjaw, swollen knees and inability to pass water Worth it though mate, cheers ) Well, first of the new promotions at the Kestrel and here's how I saw it ... ... decent crowd in, particularly given that it's mid June and the difficulties surrounding the first planned event and it's eventual cancellation. Even more importantly though, they were all well up for it. Good numbers still there at the death and avin it.Obviously, folk will feedback as they see fit but I really enjoyed everyone's sets and even 'danced' [ahem] a bit. Here's my take on the night, for what its worth: Stu Raith- as forecast, suitably creative mate to kick things off (as befits a Cyberman) Ian C - nothing less than proper dancers of the highest quality as always John Mc - first time I'd heard John play but judging by his sales boxes I reckoned on him having some serious tackle. Yep, Edith Brown etc etc etc, superb Andy Killick - I'm still kin speechless (but chewing nonetheless). Most of the first 10 or so records Andy played constituted the list of those tunes that I have never, always wanted and will never, ever own. Absolutely unbelievable (and a genuinely nice bloke too) Cliff - never ceases to amaze with his capacity to slot high quality, underplayed / forgotten dancers into his sets alongside [what I think Stuart refers to as] "them big lads". Dancefloor buzzing throughout his set which is ever so slightly disconcerting when you're up next; Joan - any promoter(s) anywhere who are looking for someone to get it buzzing and pack the floor - beginning, middle or end, doesn't matter - she's your girl (as if you didn't know already). I don't think I've ever heard her play a crap record (they're all in that box and Tony keeps trying to sell me em ); Pete - what can easily be the graveyard slot was really enjoyable to these ears and you dug deep to show yet again that great records don't necesarily have to cost brewsters While I'm still fucntioning, at some level anyway, here's what I can remember playing 3-4am: Les Chansonettes - don't let him hurt you (Shrine) Embraceables - let my baby go (Sidra) Sandy Hadley - since I found a love (So Char) CODs - coming back girl (Kellmac) Don and Ron - I'm so so sorry (White Cliff) Eddie Daye & Four Bars - guess who loves you (Shrine) Soul Set - will you ever learn (Bi-Me) Eris Mercury & Soul Searchers - lonely girl (Sac) James Dockery - my faith in you is all gone (Soul Craft) Cairos - stop overlooking me (Shrine) Lonette - blue Jeans (MS) Troy Dodds - try my love (El Camino) Tommy Turner - lazy (El-Bam) Billy Hines - ling ting tong (Wa-Tusi) Oscar Wright - fell in love (Hemisphere) Mr Caldwell - love bandit (Scorpio) Stormy - the devastator (Twinight) Carl Underwood - ain't you lying (Merging) Stunners - nobody but me (Renfro) Don and Juan - the heartbreakin' truth (Mala) Oh aye, one or two requests as well: Big Frank & the Essences - I won't let her see me cry (Blue Rock) Jimmie & Entertainers - new girl (Toddlin' Town) Luther Ingram - run for your life (Hurdy Gurdy) Turned into a bit of a Stafford oldies set in the end; not what I was intending to play at all (thanks again K ) but I really enjoyed playing em and watching Grant cut a rug to em. (Flip of Troy D for sure next time out bud). Barrie, thanks again for asking me to play some records; I thoroughly enjoyed it (more so than I have for absolutely ages) and I'm dead chuffed that things have started so positively for you. (Bet your a*se was twitching when Ian blew that amp up early doors though; kin liability he is ) Before I head off to chew my cheek and walk round in circles, whilst whistling, a bit more - great to see some folk that I'd not seen in a while and had missed such as Kit, Mal (Stockport legend), Willie, Bri, Dave R - really good to see you looking well again mate. One or two notable absences (Stu B of course, Salmon - hope you're well bud, Dickie et al); see you next time no doubt. Also, really good to put some faces to Soul Sourcers (John Mc, Terry, Andy K) and to meet other, genuinely nice bods such as Gareth and Dolly. In a nutshell then, all good IMHO: people, music, venue. See you at the next one for sure (Actually, I could have just said that couldn't I Thanks again K ) Link to comment
45heaven Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 WELL YOUVE SUMMED THE NITE ADMIRABLY PHIL - ALL EXPECTATIONS MET AND INDEED EXCEEDED FROM MY PART - A MASSIVE THANKS TO ALL THE DJ'S WHO MADE THE NITE ROCK - AND TO THOSE WHO HAD FAITH TO VENTURE TO THE CAVE TO SUPPORT THE FIRST NITE ,A SINCERE THANK YOU - I HOPE YOU WEREN'T DISSAPOINTED - TIL NEXT MONTH WHEN WE'LL BE STRIVING TO PUSH THE BOUNDS BACK FURTHER STILL - HAVE FUN AND THANKS AGAIN BARRIE Link to comment

One or two nighters seem to die on their arse at about 4pm and, as you say, it's up to the combo of djs, primarily, and dancers to ensure folk get the full 8 hours worth. I was a tad shocked (but gladdened ) to see more dancing to things like Troy Dodds and the Stunners than James Dockery and Eric Mercury ... ... eh? At Burnley I think something that is sometimes neglected by folk behind the decks is the need for both continuity and contrast e.g. on Friday, with Joan up next you know you're gonna get full-on dancers all the way. I do always like to try and mix things up a bit in terms of some mid tempo bits n bobs but, as I say, you gotta play to the floor. At the risk of encouraging you to put a contract out on me ... ... one of my real hopes is that the 'new' Burnley can maybe cater for a broader range of tempos than before, without losing the essence of what has proven so successful in the past - not just at Burnley but on this scene per se i.e. getting folk of their bums. See you next time mate. atb Phil Edited June 20, 2010 by PhilT Link to comment
Guest Craig A Butler Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Barrie, So sorry I couldn't make it as had things that needed to be done at home. By the sounds of it I really missed out too, but so glad it was a success for you. See ya soon, Craig Link to comment
Kev Moore Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 It sure was a good night...just the thing to blow away the disappointment of the poor England result. It was nice to see a good sized crowd coming out to support Barrie.......but more to the point (apart from a couple of hiccups with the sound system)...the night just flowed past. Same old friendly atmosphere...Mickey your looking well mate, keep it up. I'm glad you're getting settled Gillian. Willie don't forget the offer to come and stay for the 100club. All the dj's I managed to hear put together really good sets...dance, dance, shuffle, dance, skip and twist....I certainly did. I love a good dancefloor with music that lets you enjoy it. One thing I noticed about Sat night...although a lot of what was played was stonking uptempo soul/dance I never felt strained or pushed into dancing out of my zone. Thanks & well done to all for that. Right to the finish. Jackie Day..I Can't Wait...............for the next installment........it was well worth the trip up from London and me & Imogen with try our very best to return next month. Burnley still a quality night out. Thanks again nights like this seem to be getting harder to find these days. Kev Link to comment

Well done Barry for putting this back on. Well done all the DJs as well. Dave. Link to comment
Guest Pete Higson Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Thanks for everyones comments about last friday and lets hope this is the shape of things to come, found myself a bit rusty to start with. Done venus as of late whilst living in Preston but not done a nighter for over 30 years ( A tram shed in Leeds with Guy !) I really enjoyed all the sets especially Joans who proved a hard act to follow. Roll on next month ! Pete Higson Link to comment
Guest Imogen Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 It was really good to be back at Burnley nighter after a nearly two year break. The music was quality all the way and I heard lots of record's that I had never heard before which was exciting. The vibe instrumental played towards the end of the night was brilliant. I was most impressed and inspired by John McClures set , very well put together. Really enjoyed chatting to Rosemary, Roger and Mikey. Thanks also to Gillian for the after party. . Will definitely try and make it back next month Imogen Link to comment

Guest Pete Higson Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 last night at Burnley was quite something for me , to start with i met Calv and Sue who have been here since day one A better couple you could not wish to meet i started off doing my own thing til Geoff (Detriot)Buckley came along and didn't dissapiont , Fred was next with sounds to die for,i kept going up to look at stuff i could only ever think to own ! Mr cover up himself ,my learned friend Cam ,was on top form (need to know what that "back street thing was") Danny Price followed Cam with some tremendouis unknown stuff (to me) which filled the dancefloor. didn't realise what a quality collection Dolly had,! none stop dancing when she starts playing , Garry Farri took up the last spot with some oldies and top drawer soul at it's best . still having an houir til 6 was spread over Gary, Dolly and myself ......i do like to finish ! None of the above comments from me were anyway patronising ,thats how it was , a bloody good night !! Not forgetting Barrie Wadd who made all this possible , watch this space ....this one is gonna be a monster ! Pete Higson Link to comment
