Mike Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 What a cracking nighter that was! Always a bit wary about writing stuff on local niters, as view living down the road my be a bit different than someone who travels to it. but this time made sure checked with all a fair few travellers and as their views matched mine think can get away with saying, one if not best ones yet. Have had good ones before there but this was best both music wise and event wise, and to be honest finding it hard pushed thinking when recently had such a good enjoyable nite both ways, last monkey of course and then errrr .... mmmm Anyway niter was a good one, numbers up , all djs delivered own mix and style of sets, what caught was both refreshing , well put together and worked great, one of them nites when all sets worked well and djs fed of each other, nite flowed Ritchie Andrew , Mark and Chico doing their now usual joint two hour set that works so well, Neil Jones on top form Steve Thomas at his best, Ricey, Shelia, Gary B , Ann A , Sam Moore finished nite . Travellers from afar good to catch up with few mates and such, all gave music and event thumbs up New Soul Up North Out and About Did hear was a mix up in listings mag which meant that last months djs were listed Been running bout 10 years now and in current team for 7, own unique style and way of doing things and as said was one of best niters had there. try and get few highlights/plays of those concerned later Link to comment
Guest Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Got to agree with all Mike has written here. Have tried not to miss over last few years and, although I always enjoy this niter, last weeks really was a top night. Music did flow really well all night with all styles and tastes catered for. Mark & Chico's two hour set was stand-out (The Prophets, The Cautions, The Spartans as a couple of top drawer examples). Really enjoyed Ste Thomas too but all DJs played to enthusiastic crowd, and atmosphere was as good as I've known it. A few regular faces had gone across to Skeggy but I thought that these had been replaced by a few newcomers so all in all, attendance was up on of late. "Nice one" to Dave, Gary and all concerned and looking forward to the next one. Neil (A f***ing long way from Llandudno on a Sunday Morning ) Link to comment
Guest Netspeaky Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Glad to hear people enjoyed mine and Chico's joint spot, really enjoyed myself to the point I played the Spartans twice just for fellow DJ Ricey, it's so good, it's going to be a MONSTER Sound. Great spot's from all the other DJ's kept the crowd buzzing all night, and the dance floor bouncing. If you didn't make it this time around, make sure you get to the next one it's Gary's 50th, so it's sure to be a good night. Some of the Sounds I spun: Spartans - I don't need another lover (Era) Prophets - One Gold Piece (Shine) Cautions - No Other Way (Shrine) Imperials C's - Someone Tell Her (Phil la Soul) Unique Blend - Spread The News (Acetate) Soul Bros Inc - Pyramid (Golden Eye) Sweets - Something About My Baby (Soultown) Bill Dennis - I'll Never Let You Go (Shine) Montclairs - Hey You (Arch) Purple Munday - Stop Hurting Me Baby (Cat) T C Lee & The Bricklayers - Up & Down The Hill (King) Cashmeres - Showstopper (Hem) George Blackwell (Smoke) J J Barnes - Real Humdinger (Strings Version) Carol & Gerri - On You Heartaches Looks Good (MGM) Chico also played some real corking sounds as well, including the following: Unique Blend - Yes I'm in Love Venturas - Heart of Love Spidells - Dream Girl Temptones - Girl I Love You Cookie Scott - I Don't Care Nicky C & The Chateaux - Those Good Times Arcades - Theres Gotta To Be A Loser Arabians - Please Take A Chance On Me Roy Brown - Baby It's Love Ernestine Eady - The Change Brand New - 1000 Years Charisma Band - Aint Nothing Like Your Love Celeste Hardie - Your Gone Bitter & Sweet - I Won't Have Any Babies For You Natural Four - Hanging On A Lie By the way any promoters out there, we are both available for bookings! we don't get enough chances to spin our discs.
