    Jimmy Saville Clunk Click suck my? Only joking. ML What does best DJ mean , ?who discovered best records , Who could fill a dance floor and keep them there?  Who was user friendly to the pun

  • To be the best you have to be able to offer something others cannot.  Many that are paraded as the best offer the same as each other, same big ticket records, same backward looking outlook to the scen

Froggy for sure is unheralded.

Not south of Watford. Every year jazz funk dj Frostie organises this event:

I attended one in 2016. It was quite surreal ... a U-shaped pub somewhere in Hornchurch, packed to the rafters, Froggy's sound system lovingly all set up at the top end of the left side, with another ordinary sound system set up at the top end of the right side ... and a third sound system set up directly opposite Froggy's  ... all going strong all day long. The purpose of the event was/is to pay tribute to Froggy's supreme skills as a sound technician ... by ensuring that his wonderful kit will be drowned out by 2 inferior systems in competition. Go figure :dash2:

There was a programme published professionally with some useful info and pics. Grahame Joyce's clothing stall was set up bang in the middle between Froggy's sound system and the house djs at the other end, with Grahame looking like he was patrolling the border between North and South Korea while under heavy fire from both sides.

Surreal.

This topic also opens up to related prior DJs such as Guy Stevens, Brian Phillips, Carl etc. Formative to the Soul scenes to follow.  Nobody picking Peter Stringfellow in his earlier days at the Mojo?
