Ady Croasdell Posted October 23, 2005 Author Share Posted October 23, 2005 Just got in 7.20 am and it was a blinder, I really thought the other events up North and locally might harm us but the turn out from all over the continent particularly Cardiff, Brighton, Luton and Paris was terrific and Kenny B, Warren, Paul McKay and Val and the Brighton boilers was well solid. Many thanks to Jason at the Net Bar who humoured us until dawn. Link to comment
Boogaloo Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Yeah, what a brilliant night.

Guest Andy BB Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Couple of niggles ....am going out on a limb here but hey, I've the skin of a rhino! 2) I'm a real fan of the ol' R & B & I have to say I was pretty unimpressed overall with the sounds played in the "R & B room" on this particular night.....I was preyin for the No More Doggin crew/ Melton Maffia to suddenly charge in & take over the decks at some point,but alas, twas not to be! On more than one occasion some pretty mainstream mowtown was played, & in no way did those tracks even resemble R & B (unless I'm goin deaf in my old age?!?) French x Missed my first Crossfire I think you have to bear in mind that the "RnB Room" is really more of a Mod Room than a strictly RnB only room. It gives the Mods who don't go for Northern in a big way (crazy fools) somewhere to go and therefore you'd expect at least a bit of Motown. And it is run by Mod club promoters and DJs Don't usually spend much time in there myself but your description has made me quite keen (despite the Saharan temperatures and lack of a bar). Can you remember any of the tracks? BB Link to comment
Paul McKay Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Hi Andy I certainly heard Unsatisfied and some Ska whilst in the toilets in the vicinity during the night. Main room was packed form about 10.30 with a full dancefloor from then onwards. I was on from 9.30 - 10.00 and then 1.00 - 1.30. Second time I've DJed with that Gentleman of Soul Mr Kenny Burrell and second time I've had to follow him on. Quite a young crowd, with plenty of students (at least I assume they were) and so several calls for no drinks on the dancefloor. Here's what I played: Deon Jackson - Ooh baby - Carla Gene Chandler - I can take care of myself - Constellation DJ Porgy & Monarchs - That's my girl - Verve DJ Capitols - Hello stranger - UK Atlantic Barbara Lewis - Think a little sugar - Atlantic DJ Barbara Mason - Bobby is my baby - Arctic Andrea Henry - I need you like a baby - MGM DJ T.C. Lee & Bricklayers - Up & down the hill - King Betty Lloyd - I'm catching on - BSC Soul Communicaters - Those lonely nights - Fee Bee Freddie Houston - Soft walkin' - Toto Tommy Navarro - I cried my life away - De Jac Billy Storm - Educated fool - Infinty DJ Fi-Dels - Try a little harder - Keymen 2nd set Charades - The key to my happiness - MGM DJ O'Jays - I'll never forget you - Imperial DJ Majestics - I love her so much it hurts me - Linda DJ Frank Beverly & Butlers - If that's what you wanted - Gamble Willie Kendrick - Change your ways - RCA Ronnie McNeir - Sitting in my class - DeTo Cashmeres - Show stopper - Hem Volcanos - It's against the rules of love - Arctic DJ Velvelettes - Lonely lonely girl am I - UK Tamla Motown DJ Bill Bush - I'm waiting - Ronn Sam Fletcher - I'd think it over - Tollie DJ Timmie Williams - Competition - Mala DJ Timi Yuro - It'll never be over for me - UK Libetry Oxford Nights - I'm such a lonely one - Delphi All in all a top night, with great sets from Warren, Kenny, Ady and Val.

Ady Croasdell Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Sorry I've been a while getting back to you Madamoiselle but I've had troubles logging on. Yep sorry about the beer monsters, we should have had someone on permanent patrol and we will do next tme. As it happens Oscar volunteered for mopping duties and we repaid him by kidnapping him and taking him to the Net Bar until the early hours, late hours actually. I'll pass on to Rob about the R&B room, I think it is a bit of a loose term for non-psychedelic mod music and you have to look at the DJ list to see what you'll get. Alan H, Roger Banks and Niamh usually do pretty solid R&B sets though Alan does flex his braces sometimes. I'll ask Rob to clarify what's the policy and perhaps describe the DJs styles on the club poster. It would be silly if they drift into freakbeat or Northern as they are covered elsewhere and if they play the Chords I'll switch the decks off. I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope the hirsuite men tickled your fancy. Link to comment
Guest JamesP Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Twas a cracking night indeed. But have to agree that R n B room was not as high standard as usual. Nice to hear some new tunes being spun but they were not really what we wanted to hear up there. Reflected in the smaller numbers of people that stayed in the room. Good laugh over moustrap as well. (especially if you were one of the first in- then you will know what I mean!!) Anyway wont put us off for the next. The Taffia will return! James Link to comment
Guest Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Me and my Paul were at the front, altho I really wanted my bed, what a palava! It was mildly amusing, til we got in, started off well with lyn collins 'think' which lasted for about 30 seconds then it was phyche which I was gutted about and managed to persuade paul to let me go home! rnb room was dissapointing at x fire altho the ska went down well, alan h always plays a blinder, didnt really do the northern room until the end, hoping to make 100 club sat tho Link to comment
Ady Croasdell Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Unfortunately the regular venue for the after show party for the Psychs, Sids, was temporarily shut so the Mousetrap had to do for all styles of music and I'm sure the Lemonade Charade and the Precisions sounded interesting next to each other. I couldn't make it as I had to support Val in her birthday celebrations and we couldn't stagger that far North. What was the incident? Off line if neccessary. Link to comment
Rob Bailey Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Afternoon Soul Source, to address a few points made. Was on the door and playing in two different rooms so can't comment on what was played all evening in any room. All I would say is whenever I went into any room the dancefloor was nearly always full and folk looked like they was having a great time. To me a R&B room would include some Motown, Blues, Boogaloo and Jamaican R&B as well as ya R&S stuff. I guess there would always be a small crossover off sounds played in the Northern + R&B room. Here are a few tunes I spun in (Boogaloo in room 2), 300 pounds of heavenly joy- Howlin' Wolf, Get back- Jimmy McCracklin, I say that I love you- Johnny guitar Watson, I don't need no doctor- The Village callers, The Word game- Benny Spellman, 50/50- Harold Burrage, slick chick- Vernon Harrell for example. The R&B room was a lot more comfortable this time round with 3-4 large fans which will be in place also in future. Apologies for the small wait at Orleans for after party while the venue was emptied from the previous folk and cleaned up before we got started. It was well worth it we partied till 9am. It's free, you could have a beer, the dancefloor was busy right till the end, thats a £1 per hour if you arrived at 9pm when doors opened. I span the following Soul + R&B tunes at Orleans many in the first hour, In Love- Tony Galla, A little mixed up- Betty James, The Train- Joe Jeffery, Ain't no need- Merle Spears, Come on back Jack- Nina Simone, Too much a part of me- Patti Austin, I idolize you- Charmaines, Can't do without you- Dusty Wilson, Somebodys always trying- King Size Taylor, My back scratcher- Frank Frost, The Wig- Lorenzo Holden, Lyn Collins- Think, Hot pants- Bobby Byrd, The Watts breakaway- Johnny Otis show. Big thanks also to Scottish Paul (Molloy) who span records with me the last 4 hours of Crossfire 6. Next one should be April 29th 2006 Cheers Rob Link to comment
Guest Stuart T Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Afternoon Soul Source, Cheers Rob Lots of people were saying what lovely trousers you had on Rob. Link to comment
Ady Croasdell Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 And I'm not sure we can say it's free and then claim it's £1 an hour Let's just say it's super value and provides a headache to match. Nothing wrong with the trousers, even if they were Tiger Woods' cast offs. Link to comment
Guest Neeef Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 you have to look at the DJ list to see what you'll get. Alan H, Roger Banks and Niamh usually do pretty solid R&B sets though Alan does flex his braces sometimes. Aw. Thanks Ady. Usually I need to be booked first before I do them though.. And I think Roger was halfway across the country on the night in question too, so his contribution might have been minimal. I think you might need to pay more attention Mr Croasdell! Link to comment
