I keep thinking about that show - was it Saturday Night at the Apollo where they would come out wearing a clowns outfit with a brush and sweep you off the stage if you weren't any good? They should do the same if you don't play originals

I think the drums on Fabulous Peps - Love of my Life sound so similar to Freddie Butler - Save Your Love. I love Wheelsville

I post playlists up and I certainly don't do it for my ego. My playlist would definitely diminish my ego I love to read playlists. It gives you a flavour of the night, which in these days of not a lot of spare cash for the majority might help to avoid a wasted journey and valuable finances. It could also stop someone posting on here that a venue was total shite when in all fairness it probably wasn't, but more it just wasn't to their taste. I usually know what I'm going to get by looking at the DJs that are on. But there could be someone out there you don't know playing cracking tunes. Post a playlist if you want. Don't if you don't want. No biggie.

I like that.

Now that it is sold - it's definitely Pinky and Perky on backing vocals

I missed it. Pmsl

Is your radio show ovo

Might have been better asking what events don't play original vinyl only.

You are welcome. Now what you got?

The time on the original is 2 mins 20 and on the boot 2 mins 30. There are a couple of threads about this on here if you do a search.

I have to say it is about the music first and foremost for me. I would much rather be in a not so full venue listening to great music than one that is heaving playing music that is not to my taste. When I do come across one that plays my kind of sounds that is also busy I am chuffed to bits because no matter what anyone says people do help to generate atmosphere, more so if they are dancing. The majority of people who come across as negative on here are far from it in real life. They do enjoy themselves when they are out but maybe get a little frustrated post event due to the poor turn out or whatever reason and it is nice that they feel passionate enough to post. That said a little more positivity and less negativity would always be appreciated. The truth of the matter is soul source is 'virtual' and going out, supporting and attending venues is 'actual'. Perhaps people should remember that more.

Settle an argument on here? Are you on drugs?

Me too.

I absolutely loved it! The only criticism I had was that there wasn't a camera on both decks! More of it that's what I say.

Whey hey

Thanks for doing this Dave. We found it a great help when organising our 3 dates for Grumpy next year Even though we are not an allnighter, we still didn't want to clash with any if we could help it and found it an invaluable (and easy to read) reference.

It is unfortunate that it has been tagged 'upfront' seeings as they are all 'old' records (the majority anyway). I would guess that every person playing records at events across the country will play a record that is new to someone. A record that is new to me might be well known or even overplayed to others. But so what? We all join this soul journey at different stages and we all hear tunes at different times - there is no right or wrong here. Pete Lawson once said to me - if a record has that 'magic touch' it is as good the last time you heard it, as it was the first time you heard it, no matter how many times you've heard it. The lad was right. One thing's for sure - it's not about us. The soul scene will carry on without any of us on it. The music is bigger than any DJ, any venue, any ego.

Incredible tunes as always Mr Jones Gutted to have missed it. See you soon hun x ps: June Jackson - asweome!!!!

Absolutely fantastic music tonight

Thanks for the reminder Richard

I think people may be a little reluctant to suggest somewhere just in case it's not your cup of tea given the distance you will be travelling. This soul lark is far from an exact science In answer to your question, Radcliffe is usually busy and there is the bonus of having 3 rooms to choose from. Come and say hello if you do make it!

Went on the understanding that I would be reimbursed but it didn't quite work out that way Most enjoyable all the same.

I'd pay it! (not that I'm expecting to DJ abroad anytime soon lol). I don't have expensive or rare records like the majority but I still wouldn't let them out of my sight.

Sounds like that's the one Dave. It looked like an acetate on the deck camera - plain black. Loved it!
