Who is the best oldies DJ & why.

Playlist would be nice too or at least some examples.

I would have said Brian Rae twenty years ago, but i thought this thread was Best Oldies DJ 2005. I thought Brian didn't have his records anymore?

yeah just read that

but brian is still djing and still filling floors

admittedly playing with cds but i think still has some recordsd

a fab bloke none the less

ps

did u win that record?

====

without question in my opinion the best oldies dj of all time is BRIAN RAE

and the man is a great bloke too

and an ultimate proffessional

This has got to be a wind up, right?

Is there some hitherto unknown professional skill to playing the same 40 tracks from CD?

Oh Bugger......... my cover's blown yep, who else is cheesey enough to call themselves that And Mark Freeman, ladies and gentlemen, did a very mean oldies set when he graced the decks at These Old Shoes Jo

I didnt' notice whether it was vinyl or CD when Brian followed me at Hemsby....I was too busy falling off the stage..could the soul police confirm whether it's vinyl or CD.... Jo

I have booked Brian Rae seven times in the last two years and not a CD player insight.

Top man, nice bloke and gets my vote along with Blue Max

Yes Chris, but was that his choice.... or yours?

I think Rob Messer is a fabulous oldies DJ, never fails to get me dancing. He has some fabulous sounds and is not given the DJ time he deserves.Annie

Rob is a good Bloke, & a good DJ, & yes he must go down as a good Oldies DJ, in fact last time I saw Rob Messer was @ The Dome & his first record in his set was a Classic Oldie, in fact it could have been the oldest record I have ever heard @ a Northern Do ...."Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens" Louise Jordan I think & from a year after my birth 1957....Rob does know how to get the crowd going, & they certainly moved to this one....

2 DJ's who for me are @ The Top when good Oldies are the order of the day are... Steve Whittle & Brian Rae~when playing Vinyl~

Rick Scott for the past as he has one of the best oldies collection ever, but doesn't play them out anymore since he joined the "darkside" ... present 2005 for me has to be Dougie Hall and Ian Gee collectively each with their own individual style.... and for 2006/7 its gonna be me

Yes Chris, but was that his choice.... or yours?
