    I think to be fair, you would have to raise Rob Marriot and Dean into Len's first list of Guy, Keb, Colin etc as they were playing, virtually, nothing but new stuff and were digging and u

the Scottish DJ is Colin Law

Had some excellent and rare sounds at the time and most have remained very rare

"Go on and laugh". Butlers c/u ?,would make sense,because of "Laugh,laugh,laugh."

Go on and laugh is the Just Brothers - acetate

Brilliant fuckin record - had me dancing around the kitchen an hour ago

Brilliant fuckin record!!!!

The type of record that you would just lose yourself in those brilliant couple of minutes

In fact I remember on a few occasions pushing people out of the way to get to the dance floor to lose myself

Great memories and a great fuckin record

I think Butch's set t this time, mid to late 80's is probably the best set I've ever heard.

Don Gardner,Bitter and the sweet,Directions Band -'91 :ohmy: .21 years ago.!!

What's the female version of "Not too young to fall in love"?.Mind block.

chalky I would totally agree with you on that one mate

I'm 25 years older than I was then and I would still throw people out of the way to dance to what Butch was playing then

Cant comment on what he is playing now, but I bet it is still the bloody business

Personally, if it wasn't for those few years of going to hear Butch play those batch of tunes, I would have packed in a long long time ago

Loved it then and would love to hear that type of set again

Unsure if my legs would agree though !!!

its the Camaros (spelling?)

Although at first I did think it was Karin Stibling

Definitely the Camaros though

Great record

Colin Law was/is proberly the best northern soul DJ ever, knew Colin before I knew Keb

Go on and laugh is the Just Brothers - acetate

Brilliant fuckin record!!!!

In my top 10 of all time, utter quality

I'll agree with that without a seconds hesitation.

You don't like his sounds????

I'm up to 44 mins and its been quality so far

F******* great set to my ears. Wee mans playing James Lately. That alone deserves a cigar. What a weekend that was, sure I was in the radio room for this spot with Ruff Cutt reprobates

Well let's just say Jim good behaviour and sobriety were not Ruff Cut attendees strong points :)

One of the best social weekends of my life was that.

and Mike Jemison @ 1.12 ish great to hear that again , ready for reactivation ?

Not listened that far yet - who's playing that Swifty? Thought it was a short lived record for Sir Dickie early 80's - so it's probably a reactivation on this tape.

I suspect Poke was very happy! I've aways liked it - perhaps lacked a bit of "punch" for the dance floor if you know what I mean. (imo) Wasn't this Richards Man in the Moon cover or was that summat else? So, whose spinning it on the tape?

Yep, deffo Richards 'Men in the moon' C/U

Great stuff!

Got a tape of Butch DJing at Droylsden somewhere. Always makes me laugh, he says "throw an oldie in every now and then ... only now and then though" :lol:

Tremendous post...thanks so much, I was in the radio room when Colin was on along with fellow Ruff cut soulies Wendy, Carol and Keith.....Am sure Jock Sparra and Byrney were in there too....absolute mahem...fantastic indeed.... Some of the best years of my life at those weekenders.

I have another where he says....."This is about as R 'n' B as I get" :)..... I love D.J banter, you got to listen hard to catch it though - For years I couldn't understand a word any of them said, but thought that in itself was cool :)

All the best,

Len :)
