Guest James Trouble Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 DJs who stood out for me were Joan and Baz, their sets got right in my face, just how I like it. But saying that, I don't think I heard a bad record all night from anyone. How often can you say that? Baz, we've got a bit used to Adam's great taste on the funk scene for some years now, we kind of take him for granted I think. Link to comment

Guest Arcticsoulboy Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 First of all many, many thanks to Steve who invited us and took care of us in Manchester. Not only a great promoter, but also a great cook to boot! Thanks to everyone we met in Brighouse Ritz on friday - always a very friendly crowd. I had a great night in the Aqua Bar and was impressed by cracking sets from all the dj´s. Many new and fresh tunes to these ears and very inspiring, even though I can only remember one title per night, must bring a pen next time... I hope to see you all again soon and that we can return the favor and take as many of you as possible over to Sweden for herring (optional), schnapps (not optional) and soul. And here´s what I played: T.S.U Toronados "Please heart don´t break" (Rampart Street) The Commands "Hey it´s love" (Dynamics) Lost Soul "A secret of mine" (Raven) Sam Fletcher "I´d think it over" (Tollie) Ruby "Deceived" (Gold Token) Hollidays "I lost you" (Groove city) Detroit Soul "All of my life" (Music Town) T.S.U Toronados (always at least one TSU track per night, that´s my motto!) "Got to get through to you" (Atlantic) Isonics "Sugar" (Kammy) Ambers "Potion of Love" (Smash) Tokays "Baby baby baby" (Brute) George Freeman "Down and out" (Valiant) Sheppards "Stubborn heart" (Mirwood) Impalas "Speed up" (Capitol) Charisma Band "Ain´t nothing like your love" (Buddah) Still knackered / Lars AKA Black Sheep Bitter Link to comment
