Having just turned 15 and at about my 6th Cleethorpes Winter Gardens All Nighter I plucked up the courage to request Long after tonight is all over - Jimmy Radcliffe about 3am in the morning...........The DJ just looked at me and said 'why not'. Lots of dancers were looking around thinking why is this being played right now!! Haunted me ever since........I was in the 'moment' for sure.

My mate Gaz Simon was DJing at a place in Gateshead back in the early 80,s, there were some skinheads in, Gaz said the atmosphere was a bit iffy, while doing his set one of the skins came up on the stage and asked if he would play "there's a hole in my shoe" by Neil, Gaz, by now shitting himself tried explaining he didn't have it and it was a Northern Soul do.At that, the skinhead walked off the stage, along the front of the decks and pulled Gaz from underneath the decks by his legs, there was fooking hell on 😂 

Priceless 👍

Modern room last Saturday, 'Can you play the snake'

I was once asked to get some cocaine and when I shook my head he punched me in the chest.  Wasn't a scene do but I was playing soul. 

His mate then came over (coked up) and wanted to have a go on the decks. My laughter caused me to get a punch. The punch got them ejected. I never DJd there again.

Brilliant!!!!...the snake is always the one!!....my 3x double decking ( that's my dj career ever! ) at pure soul a rare under played night I got asked by a girl who had a learning disability (she was having a great time ) for the snake...obviously I didn't have it or was going to play it so apologised and said ask my decking partner Boff (what a bail out but didn't want to upset her ), it was a no from him as well but also a polite response....I then had a 10 minute chat to her about the Fred Perry I was wearing and she was going to buy one for her boyfriend....yeah totally a wrong request but strangely it was a lovely moment and Boff never forgets it..good times always....kind regards....Rob
