Posted May 7, 200718 yr Which 2 records do you put together that keeps your set tight moving from a 60s record to a 70s record and visa versa. be very interetested how they go together. EG; Tony & Tandy - bitter and the sweet 60s and say Valerie and Nick - Ill find you 70s You get the idea
May 7, 200718 yr Depends on what the desired effect is when transitioning... Are you trying to keep the floor moving? Then the worst thing to do is have a pair of songs for transition. The dancers will pick up on that in no time and you'll have people drifting away when they hear the first song in the transition. It's better to play several songs that kinda blur the line between the two styles so when you play your 70s set it doesn't sound like an abrupt change. I'd keep at least a dozen songs on hand that you can slip between the defined styles for that sort of transition. If you're trying to change the floor to get the 70s dancers out, then a pairing will work fine. It gives the dancers who don't like the 70s stuff a chance to slip off the floor without having a mass exodus when the styles change.
May 7, 200718 yr Valerie and Nick - Ill find you 70s? thought it was early 60's The Bee Jays (superior) version is. Always thought V&N was later. Edited May 7, 200718 yr by Trevski
May 7, 200718 yr VALERY AND NICK...I'LL FIND YOU HIT #117 ON THE US POP CHART IN MAY 64. BEE JAYS SUPERIOR VERSION (IMHO) FOLLOWED ABOUT 18 MONTHS LATER. BEST, BRI.

If the divs learned to appreciate (and dance to) both styles, there wouldn't be a problem! Hit the Seventies buggers with a stomper, and the sixties mafia with Beloyd, then follow on with a Latimore side and some funk! Upset 'em all. It's the only way they'll learn!

Hey welcome to the new Cleethorpes Beachcomber All-Dayers!! With a good few new releases chucked into the mix, what we had was a great big melting pot! It's the only way IMHO Steve
