  1. Now that it is sold - it's definitely Pinky and Perky on backing vocals
  2. 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.
  5. 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?

    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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Incredible tunes as always Mr Jones Gutted to have missed it. See you soon hun x ps: June Jackson - asweome!!!!
  11. Absolutely fantastic music tonight

    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.
  14. Jumpinjoan replied to Davekd's post in a topic in All About the SOUL
    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.
  15. Sounds like that's the one Dave. It looked like an acetate on the deck camera - plain black. Loved it!

    I took a 200 box to Seattle and got it on as hand luggage (it went on the size of the luggage and not the weight) but regretted it because it was so bloody heavy. I would take a 100ish count box and put it in a holdall. Easier to carry and you should get it on board no problem. No way would I put it in the hold. Have you seen how they throw luggage around
  17. It was good to see you Billy! Dave played a great set. If you are reading this Mr Thorley - what was the second to last record you played?
  18. I don't usually post on these kind of threads because I feel there is no point but seeings as Saturday has been mentioned and I was there I thought hey ho. I was in there all night and I don't recall any latin being played in the Darwin Suite (it's not my bag so I certainly would have remembered). What did get played was mainly a solid mix of cracking 'oldies' for want of another term (they are all 'old' ffs) and top early 70s. Even Sam played a predominately 60s set with the odd 70s thrown in. If I go somewhere and the music doesn't do it for me - I just don't go again. Simple.

    I could be way off but I understood Mike to mean rather than post on another thread that may not strictly be about what you mean then start one that is about what you mean ... if you know what I mean.
