Anyway this lot get,s me cranked up, CLIFF CAMFIELD, PAUL HARRIS, PHIL KOWALCZYK, FLANNY, MICK HOWARD, STE THOMAS and check out NEIL TAYLOR you won,t be disappointed im sure :lol: ENZO.

ENZO,.....THANKS FOR THROWING MY NAME IN WITH SOME OF THE COUNTRIES BEST UPFRONT SOUL D.J`S........WHAT A BUZZ

I PLAY WHAT I LIKE FIRSTLY,AND THEN I HOPE OTHERS FEEL IT AS WELL...SOMETIMES TO UPTEMPO,BUT HEY WHO GIVES A SHIT.

FOR ME STE THOMAS & KARL HEARD DO THE BUISNESS EVERY TIME,QUALITY IN YOUR FACE SOUL MUSIC THAT GETS YOUR BLOOD PUMPING QUICKER THAN ANY PARIS HILTON HOME MOVIE ...... :thumbsup: ...LOL

NEIL.... :D

Good topic with some quality spinners being mentioned. Here in london from a Modern/Crossover perspective the following immediately come to mind, Tony Rounce,"Mental Soul`s" Gareth Donovan, Niki Golding and Mole, Steve Cole,"Soul Intent`s" Simon Murray,Paul Phillips and Gary Lee,Neil Forbes, "Soul of the Barrio`s" Dave Taylor and Roger Sanchez, Ivor Jones plus quite a few local collectors with excellent records who only occasionally get the chance to spin.Outside of London i have a lot of time for Andy Etheridge,Dave and Jordi Ripollis,Brian Goucher,Mick O Donnell and Steve Jackson.

As for Girth,s point regarding overseas dj`s at Monumental Soul i would welcome it. Maybe an increase of £1/2 on the admission for the night would help in covering the costs. I for one would have no problem in paying a little extra.

Kev - Roger - under rated :thumbsup: Blimey, there's a Roger Banks Fan Club....we love Roger yes.gif and he's not a bad dj either - lol :lol: Jo

Jo,

I think Roger, should get a lot more bookings than what he does,I alway look forward to his set at a nighter,always some thing a bit different,like yourself :thumbsup:

Kind Regards,Kev.

Might be an obvious answer but I'd say the better DJ's can do all of the above and will choose/tailor a set according to where and when they're playing and with consideration as to who they're DJ'ing alongside at any given venue. Intelligence is a primary requirement of a DJ imho. Some have it, some don't. :thumbsup:
Depends what you mean by intelligence, DJ's with degrees, I can just see some promoters interviewing DJ's before hiring them. It's all subjective of course what makes a good DJ, I've DJ'd for some 30 odd years , on and off the soul scene, lots of people think I'm good but then again I know a lot think I'm crap. :thumbsup:

COME ON YOU NORTH WALIANS,WHAT ABOUT OUR OWN STEVE THOMAS FROM HOLYHEAD ,MASIVE COLLECTION AND A TOP BLOKE ALWAYS GOT TIME TO TALK ABOUT

Me personally reading through various threads and everyone supporting their out look of "northern soul"whats your problem ...i know the scene as gone back to basics in northern strong holds through the country.But for gods sake if it wasnt for djs and promoters in the 80ts and early 90ts the scene wouldnt be as healthy as it is!.anyone beg to differ :thumbsup: .

Mark Wilson. A totally forgotten name - to all but those in the know. And still has all his stuff as well.

Hi jumping joan this post is not political and" ken"whoever you are.As ive said people jump on the band wagon of "northernsoul".Ive been on the scene through thick and thin and been in some of the best company of people into norhern soul like in no particular order. Kev roberts, Rob wigley, tats taylor, jim wansoura ,rob and chris marriott who i know as one of the best northern soul collections in the country.As for your question jj Mark Bicknell and Tats taylor should be on the decks more often.

Might see you at Tats birthday bash if yer`they`re,do say hello.

I'll echo Pete Lyster and Jason Bessant. Particularly fanciful of Mace - top man! Always had a soft spot for Steve Csordas too - excellent playlist every time. Ian from Taunton always puts together a fantastic set on the few occasions I've heard him play and everyone raves about him :thumbsup:

THANKS SOULGIRL ........SEE YOU SOON .....IAN

I bet there isn't one single DJ amongst us who doesn't think they themselves should be booked more often!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:laugh.gif

I wasn't aware i asked you a political question rarestags...(sorry i don't know your name).

I... too... have been on the scene through thick and thin.. as have a good number of people on here... and i too have spent much of that time in great company.. including all the people you have listed.

And... i agree Tats has incredible taste.. and awesome records... can't remember the last time i saw him at a northern soul allnighter though... plus i'm not really sure how much he would want to DJ on the northern side of things again anyway.

I'm with you though... the soul scene would be a much richer place with people like Tats and Rob in it :P

They must have paid him enough. :P

He Is A Good Lad Though Chris , Take It From me Ken :wicked:

What Do You Think ?

He Is A Good Lad Though Chris , Take It From me Ken :P

I`m sure he is,just seems a bit reserved and could smile a bit. :wicked: and he plays some ace tunes.

They probably paid him nowt, he works for them. Agreed on Chris, top lad, great great taste in music. :P

Chris Has Worked There For Years :wicked:
