Guest andys165 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Walls of Heartache opens its doors once more in Walthamstow, London E17, on Saturday March 26th. We're at the Cavern, 524 Forest Road, E17. 8.30pm-1am, just £4 on the door. The only place for miles around where you can listen, and dance to, classic 60s soul/Northern and watch some great 60s TV visuals too.

Guest andys165 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 In case any of you were wondering what our crowd is like on the last Saturday of the month in Walthamstow - here is the dancefloor from Feb. Easter Saturday (March 26th) is our next night so we hope to see you there. Andy Link to comment
Guest andys165 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Just to let you know that our guest DJ for April 30th is Corinne Drewery from Swing Out Sister with her northern box of tricks. BUT before then we have our Easter Saturday night in E17 (Mar 26th) and I've just picked up a couple of Barbara Acklin 45s that will definitely be blasting out. See you there, I hope.

Guest Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Ho WOH types, delighted to see you guys are back on Easter Saturday. I'll sneak down (family staying) and bring my dancing pals too. Really enjoyed watching the films last month - anything new for us this time around? Also: why did you play 'The Night' twice in an hour? Not that I'm complaining. Eddie Link to comment
Guest andys165 Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Eddie, we should have some new visuals this month, yes. I played 'The Night' twice last month because I got over-excited on the first play and just HAD to hear it again. That's the beauty of running your own night - and, as you say, nobody seemed to complain. Will definitely only play it once (if that) on Mar 26th. We got offered a wedding booking last month so must be doing something right. Can't wait to do a Peter Kaye when the bride's mother comes out of the loo - "Here is it, 'Bat Out Of Hell!" Any requests? We've had one for 'Shoes', Bobby Bland. Cheers Andy Link to comment
Guest andys165 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I've had a couple of pm messages about the noticeboard on the Walls of Heartache website. It isn't working yet so sorry about that. We're trying to switch the whole site over from a PC to a Mac system without starting from scratch. Anyone in Tenerife this week may be surprised to see our poster and flyers around town - DJ Dave is soaking up some sun (and chasing his daughter around the pool) before this Saturday's WOH in sunny Walthamstow. www.wallsofheartache.co.uk Andy Link to comment
Guest Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 These free Easter Eggs you are giving away so generoulsy this Saturday night - what size are they? Not that I'm wondering whether it's worth missing my tea for you understand. See you Saturday Eddie PS Hols in Tenerife? You must be making a mint out of WOH. Link to comment

Guest andys165 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi Karen Shame you can't join us on Saturday. We're always the last Saturday of the month so next one, after this Saturday, is Sat April 30th when the lovely Corinne Drewery from Swing Out Sister will be our guest DJ. Hope you can make that one - happy easter Andy Eddie - I'm not divulging the size of our free Easter Eggs to help prevent a rush on the door at 8.30. That and the fact that I have two small kids who may have found and eaten them all by then. Cheers Link to comment
Tony Smith Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 What is she going to play? Link to comment
Guest andys165 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Corinne will be delving into her Northern/Rare box of tricks, but I won't be asking her for a playlist in advance - bit rude that. Anyway, we've got this Saturday to contend with first - just got some new 60s US TV footage through the door for Saturday inc the Impressions singing 'You've Been Cheatin' - nice. Please let us have any requests that you'd like to hear, though the lady who asked for 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' will still be disappointed I'm afraid. andy Link to comment
Guest Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hey WOH folk, I've been listenign to some of the ska and rocksteady 6 pacs on this site and wondered if you guys had any plans to play any ska at Walls of Heartache. If you do, I have a decent collection and lots of soul nights seem to be introducing one or two ska tunes so whadaya say? Lynn Tait anyone? Eddie Link to comment
Guest andys165 Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 It's something we've talked about. I think because our night is still in its infancy we didn't want to confuse people by playing too much different stuff genre-wise. It may be something we'll introduce as the weather warms up and I bloody love Lynn Tait as it goes. His 'Rocksteady Greatest Hits' is a fave LP of mine, as it was John Peel's I believe. Would love to get my hands on some more of his stuff. So no ska/rocksteady this Saturday but maybe in the future. I listened to Pete S's 6 pac - very nice. Andy Link to comment
Guest Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 OK Andy, you may be right. Bit of Rocksteady as the summer comes in would be v nice. I belive it emerged from the more frantic ska of the early 60s because of a spate of particularly hot summers in JA that made dancing to the faster stuff a little tiring. Not likely here tho eh? Eddie Link to comment
Guest andys165 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I think that's a fair history of Rocksteady's origins, Eddie. It's bloomin lovely in Walthamstow right now - sun pouring in through the window, cat thinks it's Xmas. See you Saturday - I now have the free Easter Eggs for Walls of Heartache - first ten punters remember Andy www.wallsofheartache.co.uk Link to comment
Guest andys165 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Kids have found the free Easter Eggs for tomorrow night's Walls of Heartache and are piling on the pressure to let them dive in. I'll resist, but have had to agree to take one of the boys to see Leyton Orient this afternoon. - I hope you lot appreciate the lengths we club organisers go through on your behalf. O's v Cheltenham Town...not exactly Chelsea v Barca is it? Andy Link to comment
Guest andys165 Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Just been asked about parking for Walls of Heartache in E17. Lots of residential streets off of Forest Road that you can park in after 6.30pm no trouble. Go for Howard Road, Falmer Road or Hurst Road - the three nearest. See you all later Andy Link to comment
Guest andys165 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Thanks to everyone who came down to WOH on Saturday. Lots of competition for your time and energy on an Easter Bank Holiday but we got you up there dancing so thanks for continuing to support us. We're back on April 30th with the lovey Corinne Drewery as our guest, so expecting a busy night. Here's a couple of pics from Saturday - dancers 'the wedding couple', as we know them, and our good friend Darrell Fields with the camera. Andy & Dave Link to comment
Guest Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 What an excellent, friendly night (and great pictures!!) Thanks to you all, see you next month! 'The Wedding Couple' (John & Claire) Link to comment
Guest dkd Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Thanks for the comment Wedding Couple - better come early next month as we are hoping for another full house! Thanks also to Gabby and her multitude of friends. See you ll next month. Dave Link to comment
Guest dkd Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Sorry, thanks also to our guest DJ Mike Hamilton (I think he is at luna soul in Ipswich on the 1st April). Dave Link to comment
