After last weekend adventures at The Mill on the Pier Wigan Niter and New Century/New Untouchables Brum dayer to be honest a weekend at home seemed most inviting. But as had the ticket, plans to meet, and the memories of the last one still in my head, Saturday nite saw me doing that bloody drive to deepest yorkshire yet again. plus a view by steve p afterwards Getting better only drove past turning 3 times this time, thru the door and straight away could pick up that buzz, buzz being that feeling that often look for at weekends. Some events have it, some only have it now and again, some had it once but no longer, and there's those that never had it. When it hits you it just tells you in for a top nite. Place was packed again, set up as last time with the main room sounds and djs comimg thru loud and clear in the front room. Again soul fans from all over the place Fair old contingent from round North Wales coast , loads from North West, Midlands, the bit between Midland and London, Kent, North east, East coast Scotland, Yorkshire...maybe easier just to say all parts of this island. Main room wise, well dj line up may have given you a idea of what was gonna be dished out. Quality rare soul, taking in full range of styles and eras. Current, don't hear a lots, classy revivals and so on. Main room was buzzing, packed, buzzing and hot!! with floor busy. Was a problem with floor being a bit glassy, seems this could have been due to the condensation, with the heat and sweat being cause, well thats what someone said and it sounded good to me As sound was both rooms hard to keep track of what was given out and by who. Think Cliffe Steele was away cause of illness, with Kitch standing in, not sure who was on earlier on though.Kitch and Andy D were on the case when was in main room, followed by guest Soul Sam (or was it Butch before). Sam gave out a fairly wide mix, stuff like Hamilton movement, Fluorescent Smogg, King Moses - Got this feeling -Margaret Little — Love Finds A Way Joseph Websters knock knock song My Love Is Strong, goes pear shaped now can't suss this one out was it Jerry Washington on tk label Glades, titles gone, -"waste your time" or something ? whats score on this, not sure if heard Sams annoucement right and thought heard it again later. Someone help me. As said Butch was either before or after, Mick H was then also up and at them, and don't even think asking me who finished Honey & The Bees, Tolbert , Jean Wells, Butlers, Sensations, Betty L & Bobby A, Eric Lomax c/up, Hank Hodge being just a few grabbed from memory odds on the scene - latest issue out now and was being passed on mags - dunno whats going on but in last week or so must have read 7 or 8 or more different mags, and still couldn't get away from them tonite with latest issues of Soul Up North, Shades of Soul and SKM all on offer. Shirley gave us a personalised lesson on how to complete her "hard as nails " quiz in SUN and even after the tution still only managed to get just the one right. events - lots of new venues being flyered and talked about. Buzz word seems to be quality soul monkey - fair old amount of regulars knocking around ( though due to gap its hard to remember what some look like:) hopefully be able to pass on that fairly important news on may event very soon after 7 - main room shut and decks in back sparked up, mental note for future use that Mick H has "happy to be " Nods - loads of catch/meet ups, fair few who knock around here and lots of laughs endnote - well after 8 weeks since the last one,to me seems the second was as good as the first, dunno offical figures but seemed like another sell out. My view simply another cracker. Hats off go to all the lifeline team, promoters djs, door people , Rodz and Chris and all who were involved next one think was said 8 weeks time daved Posted: 2004/4/18 19:48 Updated: 2004/4/18 19:48 Regular Joined: 2002/9/2 From: Posts: 37 Jerry Washington Mike, the title of it would be "Don't Waste My Time" from 1976. It seems to be very popular at the moment. Nice tune. Guest Posted: 2004/4/18 20:52 Updated: 2004/4/18 20:52 Re: Jerry Washington Slightly popular to say the least Dave. Great record and it could almost have been written to follow Joseph Webster on Crow in a set which is one of the reason's Sam was desperate to get it. Sounds like it was another cracker just a shame we had to pull out at the last minute as we were both really looking forward to it.

Posts: 1744 Re: Jerry Washington It's hard to say Mike as you said it is on Glades a TK subsiduary so you wouldn't have thought it was that hard but apparently Sam was after it for years with no joy, and after Steve Gaurnori played it at Yarmouth a couple of weeks ago interest has gone through the roof with the crossover boys so demand would be quite high. Sam did tell me that he did pay quite a bit for it because he was desperate to have and the seller didn't really want to sell, but he didn't mention a figure and i didn't ask. John Not much help i know but.... mike- Posted: 2004/4/19 0:00 Updated: 2004/4/19 0:00 team member Joined: 2002/8/26 From: Posts: 2248 Re: Jerry Washington .. a lot of help john! think the term "interest gone thru the roof" says it all, its when the interest has sunk thru the floor that I can make a move:) thanks again worked well to my ears Guest Posted: 2004/4/19 20:33 Updated: 2004/4/19 20:33 Lifeline tickets were sold out, although a few who reserved tickets didn't turn up therefore denying someone a ticket :-/ with the guests, dj's etc there was just under 300 though the door. I didn't take notes this time as Steve Phillis said he was doing a review and playlist, will post when sent. Next one June the 19th, Tony Smith and Soul Sam as well as the regulars. g.davis r.tyler Posted: 2004/4/20 14:50 Updated: 2004/4/20 14:50 user Joined: 2004/4/20 From: Posts: 1 lifeline 2nd nighter sheridans 17th april as chalky's said iv'e wrote reveiw and play lists a couple of titles and labels missing as i didn't quite catch them as i wrote it whilst dancing at the same time. e.mailed you a copy hope you got it .all in all a bloody brilliant night music top notch, not one complaint as far as im aware,floor got a bit slippey all the sweat from the dancers soon rectefied by opening a door,made a change to go to a nighter and not hear any of the top 500 most played out oldies good as they are it's time to give them a rest ? if more promoters took note of what mike and andy are achieving the the scene would be better for it as they've proved the dancers want new quality sounds plus underplayed oldies long may lifeline continue to be just that ,the countries no1 upfront venue. can't wait till june get your tickets know cause it's gonna be another sellout. Guest Posted: 2004/4/23 11:43 Updated: 2004/4/23 11:43 Lifeline review & playlists from Steve Phillis Big thanks to Steve Phillis for the following review of the last Lifeline all-nighter.... SATURDAY 17th APRIL 2nd LIFE-LINE ALLNIGHTER — SHERIDANS - DEWSBURY O.K. just how do you try and write a review on what’s probably the best upfront niter since Stafford, a venue the scene as been crying out for, for the past 10 years or more. A venue where the dj’s aren’t afraid to play something new and different well here we go. Arriving early with Mick H the doors were due to open at 9.30pm but many people arrived early as it was a sell-out, by 10 pm the place was buzzing; the record bar was crammed to capacity with both dealers and punters, the main dance floor was jammed solid and the atmosphere was electric. This reminded me of the same atmosphere you got as you walked through the casino doors, we even had the condensation dripping from the roof, the floor was packed too capacity with dancers from every corner of the country, London, Edinburgh, Norwich, Manchester, Notts, Leicester, Wales etc. Everyone there all to listen too what can only be classed as the best and rarest new sounds in the Country, The dj’s on the night where Nick Stevenson, Mick H, Andy Dyson, Kitch, Butch, and guest Soul Sam. There must have been near on a million £’s worth of vinyl behind the decks the music policy upfront new 60’s 70’s and rare and underplayed oldies, and that’s just what we got. What followed was a true soul fan’s dream come true, 9 ½ hours of pure soul the crowd knowledgeable and appreciative gave every dj and record the recognition they deserved, for those people who haven’t been I say open your minds and visit this venue, as the records that are played here are the oldies of the future. The atmosphere on the night was the best I’ve sampled at a niter in many a year. Not one person I spoke to had a bad word to say about the music or the dj’s, some people may think me bias as I’ve known both Mick and Andy for more years than I can remember, special mentions to Gilly ,great to see you out again mate also to Dallas daughter of Fran who gave me her top 5 and with both mellow souls and Mac Staten in the top 2 there’s a future for the scene yet, also a special mention to Mandy and Wendy who greeted on the door, these girls worked tirelessly on the door also Chris and Rodz whom without their cooperation the night wouldn’t have been possible. The spot’s where brilliant one after the other big sounds, unknowns, rare oldies, each received with enthusiasm from the floor, which was packed solid right up till 7.30am then we moved too the record/chill out room until 9.30am. This is by far the best niter in years get a ticket for Junes event and see for yourselves, what is the dj’s play list’s the calibre of which you’ll never see at any other niter in the country. Thanks to Mick and Andy for the sight the inspiration and the guts to put on such an excellent night. This venue is a breath of fresh air too the scene as there are far too many niters you go to play the same old time tested top 500 played out oldies I say too everyone open your minds and ears visit this brilliant venue as it really is the scene’s life line Rating 100% pure soul K.T.F.
