Hi Mike I've noticed that the paid for pink event banners/headers are no longer showing on the activity stream when they used to before the upgrade x -

We just wanted to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you who came on Saturday night. We arrived at just gone 7pm to be greeted by Rob and the lovely Shirley, and by 7.30pm there were already folk in the room, seated and waiting for the tunes to start at 8. By 8.30pm we're not sure there was an empty table to be found in the place with travellers from Scotland, Wales, Midlands, Yorkshire, Tewkesbury, and beyond, an awesome effort for a sunny Bank Holiday weekend! So five stars it is for you guys!! 🌟 We appreciate all the lovely comments on here, and on the night, it means so much to us. As you know, we never post individual playlists, as our thinking from the outset was not about individual DJs, but the night as a cohesive whole. That said, we will look at getting an overview together of some of what got played, but please bear with us, our memories aren't what they once were. Thanks as always to Carl, who is without doubt the ultimate in all things soul, records, and lunacy - what a voice 😂 And George of course, it was so good to have him grace our night once again. Last but definitely not least, we can't forget the main man Baz, who goes above and beyond to make sure the sound system is spot on everytime, and ensures everything runs smoothly, we can't thank him enough. So, we'll see all you lovely people in December then for more of the same, Joan and Phil x

There's a real buzz from all quarters for tonight, so whichever part of the country you're coming from, safe travels and we'll see you later

Traditional GS ender, doesn't come much better that's for sure. Very much in the same vein as Ask The Lonely, more Detroit perfection that could very well get an airing x

If anyone reading wants anything playing, post them up, and if we have them, we'll chuck 'em on! Some tunes are overlooked these days because they are much cheapness, this being a prime example. Mean and moody Chicago brilliance, love it x

As Phil says, it's not all about money at Grumpy. Here's one that's cheap as chips (and preferred version by a mile for me), what a cracker!

The weekend is fast approaching, a long one at that Don't think we've had a Bank Holiday Grumpy before so really looking forward to it. You never know what's going to get played on the night, that's the beauty, but here's one that could get a spin x

Without doubt it's going to be a very emotional night, with loads of records played in memory of Kev Murphy. Hope Phil plays this, always makes me think of Kev x

Brilliant write up! To say George is excited is an understatement (as are us residents). A few requests for the night are already coming in, here's one that will get a spin from me (unless someone beats me to it)

Can't wait for the next installment of Grumpy's! Will be great to welcome George back too, I know he's really looking forward to it. Expect the usual mix of rarities, one-offs, and classics, but above all expect quality and madness (oh, and a cat)

Jim was always very kind to me and generous with his time and knowledge, a true giant of the scene. This is so sad.

Still struggling to process the heartbreaking news. I will miss his unique lovable mischievousness x

Brad posted videos of him playing both sides on his YouTube channel, so the buyer knew exactly what they were getting. You could see the tape or whatever it is holding the record together, but sounded ok, lots of cackles, no obvious ticks that I could hear.
