Northern Soul Uk Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I was playing at the 'Halifax Free Soul Club' on New years eve eve, and this 'young' lady asked me to play something that everyone would dance to I said, If you can tell me one that will GUARANTEE that EVERYONE will dance, then I will play it. She thought, went away for a while and came back shortly saying 'Something new to do', I said OK but if EVERYONE doesn't dance I'll take it off . Just at the very minute it was time to change the record that I was playing and I put on 'Little Anthony - use your head', the dance floor packed instantly, and she said "Oh! it's OK this will do" and went off to dance. 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I've had this conversation more times than I care to remember! A woman comes up and says "Mr DJ" (which i'm not by the way,just playing a few given chance) have you got something we all know,refering to a group of blokes and women she was with,i was just setting away the Autographs and i said here's one for you !! ooooo i don't know that, so i said well tell me what you would like and i'll tell you if i have it with me,oooooo i don't know !! any we might know,i said well if you don't tell me i don't know what you might know......it went on until she gave up and knocked the record on the way down !!!! they were all leaving early either through me taxi actually it was, she started ranting about what was the point of playing what i had as hardly anyone was dancing !!!! which was true except those dancing knew and appreciated what they were hearing which were all top class underplayed oldies those not we can do without ,in my opinion of course. So i shouted get yourselves out of the town and learn something. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest ScooterNik Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Off on a slight tangent, but the Cockney Mick story reminded me of one I witnessed in the mid eighties. The braindead right had adopted (anarchist band!) Angelic Upstart's 'England' as their anthem, everytime it's played there was a group of people pointing at pigeons... I was stood on the stage at Peterborough, waiting my spot and (IIRC) Jon Buck (It was a long time ago...) cued it up and as it opened came out with the wonderful comment 'If you've more limbs than braincells raise your arm'. I nearly fell off the stage laughing as the usual response was forthcoming.... Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest MBarrett Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 just love my early British RnB, especially the Kinks Sorry a bit off topic - but the first record player we had in our house was Christmas 1964. As soon as the shops were open I was straight out to the local record shop and buying all the EP's I could afford. Only 12 years old but I can remember 2 X Rolling Stones, Kinks, Moody Blues, Pretty Things etc. British R&B entered my DNA there and then. Still love it to this day.

Geoff Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 A few years ago when I was doubledecking a guy came up to me and asked me to play Wigans Ovation's Ski-ing In The Snow off an LP he was holding. I kept a straight face and explained I'd got my set sorted out, perhaps the next DJ on would play it. The guy who had requested it was a big bloke, much bigger than me so I didn't want any trouble. As you can guess the next DJ didn't oblige him. This thread has given me more laughs than anything I've read in ages. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Andreas B Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 These exchanges are always a bit more fun with a language barrier, as I live in Denmark now and my limited Danish either comes off as chunky and awkward or kind-of smart assy. I was playing last thursday eve at a pretty mellow cocktail bar/restaurant kind of gig, more an excuse to eat some nice food with the lady and have some drinks than a serious gig, but usually fun all the same. a crew of 3 or 4 Copenhagen "Inner City" types (usually pretty boorish and posh "yuppies") came up to me at the bar while I dashed for another pint in between records, so I didn't have much time to talk anyhow, and asked me if I was the DJ that night. I replied to them "yes". They asked me if I could play some "dance music" (can't remember which record was spinning, but it was definitely an uptempo number). I bluntly told them "I'm playing dance music right now. I'll be playing dance music like this all night", but apparently my Danish tone wasn't too friendly, and as I bounded back to the booth to switch over to the next record, I looked up and all 3-4 of them scowling in unison while the record faded out. If I'd had a mic I would have surely dedicated the next number to them, "here's more fantastic dance music for the folks at the bar!" They hurriedly drank their cocktails and presumably scowled on off to the next club where they could grind their parts together on the dancefloor to some ignorant drivel.
