Dave Morris Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Well another "On The Soul Side! has been and gone and we had another night of quality soul music and an up for it crowd. :lol: My partner at The Uni - Viv, unfortunately couldn't make this night due to family committments and I for one missed her.I would like to personally say a Big Thank You to Mandy and Ann for stepping in and helping with the door duties.Much appreciated. :lol: Musically it was yet another night of quality soul played by our guests - Dave Bentley and Jo Wallace and our residents Danny and Mischief plus myself . Our next one is August 20th when we have the original Cagneys "Soul Side" promoter Jason Desmond and Wareham's finest Martin Adams joining us behind the decks. A massive thanks to all our regulars and the new faces we see for making us what we are. Edited June 20, 2011 by Dave Morris Link to comment
Guest Dave Mortimore Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 . . Thanks Dave, for providing yet another warm and sociable night of soul at Bournemouth University. . . I was quite occupied in life's conversations and the hurdle I have to face this week, so I didn't really focus on the music being played during the first half of the evening and hence, I won't be doing my normal generalized report about proceedings. . I just remember picking up on bits and pieces of music hear and there, without really looking to who was playing what, except for the couple of requests that came my way. It was a busy night in many ways. . All I will say is that being the host, you're always on last, which means you can't really play some of those blistering stompers that you have tucked away. They need to be played during the height of an evening, which will only happen when you're doing a guest spot somewhere else. . With this in mind, I've earmarked your appearance at The Blue Lagoon in November as a must. I've spoken to Paul & Jamie Bedford and others with a taste for such high tempo music and we're all going to hook up on the night. So that'll be the time to pull them out to get the desired response. The list of requests will be long, but I know that Oldies like Joe Hicks - Don't it make you'll feel funky, Al Wilson - Help me and Johnny Sayles - I can't get enough will be right up there. Hopefully you'll be able to pick out and mix a few in amongst the more acceptable mid-tempo stuff that has to be played. . . I'll PM you some time to let you know how I'm getting on. . . I would like to say thanks for everyone who showed their concern and support. We're like one large extended happy family at the university. . I look forward to seeing you all again soon, Dave .

Guest soulcamper Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Dave Viv and Crew Another excellent nite at the Uni - 101% enojoyment The contrasting styles of the two guests (Jo & Dave ) deffo complemented each other. Loved JG Watson - Aint Gonna Move - right in todays groove with the R n B flava and not heard it out for a while. Dave, Danny and Mischeif consistently do a great job mixing old/new & 6ts / 7ts seamlessly. The Uni is going from strength to strength and Dave and crew keep coming up with a great mix of true soul music - with quality guests from all aspects of the rare soul scene, (apart from when i'm on the decks ). And the place has a friendly relaxed welcoming atmosphere with a fantastic regular crowd. 'What More Do You Want' from a Soul Nite? Make a date for the August nite - its not too far away......
