Seem to remember a bit of an almighty scuffle between Butch and another in the record bar at the Swan Hotel niters that Rob Marriott used to run? Or was that something I imagined in my head... to amuse myself while there was an hour of modern on or something...?

No... your post said there has been fighting at soul do's you've been to recently. So I had a look at all your past posts... and every single one of them was about the Empress Rooms.

Am I to take it there was fighting at the Empress Rooms' Ladies Night on Saturday then?

Hi Shep... Does it play ok hun? If so... can I have it PLEASE? Thanks x

Yes she has... I have them all somewhere... but the only one I would consider letting go is Little Jewel. If she hasn't got hold of one before we come over... tell her she can have mine.

Keith Money's been playing it for a good few years too

Who bought it... anyone we know?

It did... and it was VERY CHEAP!! our Phil got it!

The Magicians also did a song on the same label called 'Dance (holes in your shoes)'... it's on the other side of 'Love Lets Try It Again'. Going to have to dig it out and have a listen... can't remember it.

I LOVE THIS TUNE!! I would say very rare on issue... never ever seen one... Any chance of a scan for the obsessed amongst us on here? ie: me

No he hasn't... his records are definitely for sale.. yours aren't.

You sure you aren't feeling a bit miffed over the fact that what you thought was a 'one off' exclusive to you... has turned out to be anything but...

Ahh... so it's been one big marketing ploy...

Was just thinking the very same thing myself

Not being funny... but the only ones deserving of any real credit in my book are the artists who recorded the record. ...or have I missed something?

Sorry... it was the mention of Willie Kendrick in the first post that threw me.

Me too! Not that I would play someone else's record though. Did you actually go up and take the record off half way through James?

Are we talking about 'Time Changes Things' ? If so.... I'd like to know why anyone would want to play Willie Kendrick's in the first place when there's the Metro's version? Far superior... Not to mention the fact that the Metros has been played for years... so it's hardly a new record... just a different version of an old song. Apologies if it's not TCT you're talking about... but the Metros is still better!

Hi Drew... Nice to meet you last night... Can't take credit for the first tune though... that was Karl

WOW!! Really didn't expect that!! Thank you so much... made being stuck up a ladder all day stripping wallpaper and painting actually quite enjoyable. GREAT STUFF

Imagine their was no internet for a second... You are out at a niter / soul nite... would you spend your nite... getting into an argument with somebody you've probably never even seen before just because they didn't share your taste in records... or wear the same clothes... or whatever... or just get on with it and go about enjoying yourself... With all the arguing and bickering that's been going on of late on here... I'm just wondering... does it actually do any good? Am just interested in what you all think.

No Pete... It's not what you say... it's the way you say it.

Of course this guy should have his say... the same as you and I. But you show me where I have come on here and said things like... The second DJ (paul mcdonald)?? who the feck is he where has he crawled out from??? Did Scarborough Soul go marching up to Paul McDonald and say that to his face? I very much doubt it. Still... it's ok to come on here and say it from behind a keyboard?

Hi Scarborough, Must admit... i did laugh when I first read your post... the fact that you got so angry over something... that in the mad scheme of things... comes pretty low down on the list of things to get insanely angry about. But saying that... there is another somewhat more serious side to your post... so here goes... I have been to many.. MANY... a soul night/all nighter that have fallen way short of my expectations... as I'm sure we all have. But at the end of the day... I just put it down to experience... that being... now that I know that night is not for me... I won't go there again. Never would I dream to come on here and publicly attack the venue or it's promoters... and I certainly would not dare to "speak for a large amount of the paying public". Don't you think the right way to have dealt with your issues would have been to approach the promoter direct... and tell them face to face exactly why you are so angry and upset? Just common decency I would have thought? Promoting is a thankless job at the best of times... and one I would never entertain doing... not in a million years. Thankfully... there are a good few out there who are mad enough to do it... and most of them take that roll seriously. Feedback from punters is usually wanted and encouraged... whether it be good or bad. If they don't know there's a problem... they can't do anything about it. Every promoter knows there's only one thing that can make their event a success... and that's punters... so it pays for them to listen to what their punters say. Obviously you had a few problems with this event last night... and as a paying customer you obviously feel it's your right to complain if you are not happy... But there are ways and means of doing everything... and imo... the way you've gone about this is plain wrong at worst... and more than a little unfair at best. Imagine if the roles were reversed... and you were the promoter... wouldn't you have liked the chance to sort this out privately... rather than log on here... and read a post such as yours? Anyway... here's hoping you are "up dancing and spinning etc".... ASAP! Best, Joan

This one's going out especially for Paul Sadot... it's KING MOSES
