Manchester Oldies Scene Dead?
Sorry Ian but I really can't agree with you on this bit. When we took over the Modern room it was on it's knees. And I would say that instead of the DDA taking numbers away from the main room at the beginning it seemed to boost them for a while. One person I spoke to (who I didn't know) about the numbers thing said the reason they stopped coming to Lowton was because the music was too 'rare' in the big room and that they didn't know any of the tunes being played? I can't really comment on that - but would value the views of those people who do / did frequent the big room at Lowton. All views and comments would be most appreciated. I don't suppose things have been helped any by people putting on another soul night, the same night as Lowton, not three miles away.

Any Bits Of A Record You Wish You Could Change ?
Usually the price!

Price Please
You'd know more than me Chalky. If ever I want to know anything I shout for you - you know that!

Price Please
£200? That seems mighty cheap to me. Will gladly pay £250 if anyone wants to part with one. Pretty sure I sold mine to Pat. Could be wrong though... it has been known.

Would absolutely love this... especially on this label. Unfortunately can't afford it. Can feel myself turning a lovely shade of green as I type

Manchester Oldies Scene Dead?
Is there a 'North West' crowd Jayne? I have never been to Whitby or a Yorkshire weekender and have only been to the Cala Gran once on a Friday night because it was free. Have never been to Blackpool. Maybe there is a North West scene... just that I'm not on it!

Not just Saturday night Tony. Numbers were down at Lowton on Friday too. What do you do though? I really think people are feeling the pinch money wise at the moment and maybe now opting to do just one local night instead of two in a weekend. Inevitably some venues are bound to suffer. I know for the first time in twenty odd years we've actually had to consider the cost of getting to a venue that's not local. Whereas we used to just get in the car and go.

November 08 Cd Swap
Yep a big thanks to Zane and Rupert. Although not had a chance to listen yet, loads on there I don't recognise! Recorded all mine yesterday. Just doing the covers now - nothing fancy mind. So with the wind behind me I might just get them posted out today. If not tomorrow.

Record Sale
Wed pm: I pm'd the guy about the record.. He pm'd me back saying it was mine. I logged onto paypal to pay him but noticed he had not given me his full email address. I emailed him back asking for the correct email. Five minutes later we got a phone call and had to rush to the hospital. Friday am was the first chance I had to log on here and there was a pm from him saying he had sold the record to someone else.

You wouldn't sell it to someone else if it had been just one day then?

Record Sale
Hi guys. Let's say you posted up a sale on here and someone pm'd you saying they wanted to buy it. You pm'd them back saying they could have it. What do you think is a reasonable length of time to wait for payment before selling the record to someone else?

Complete Beginners Guide To Northern Soul
Jeez... I can't remember the last time I heard any of them records out at a venue... apart from the Charades. Heard Chuck Wood when I went for my physiotherapy last week though!

Why Don't You Go To All Nighters?
Don't flatter yourselves? Sounds like another dig to me Andy. I refrain from commenting on anything you say for the simple reason that I couldn't give a backdrop what you say or do. I'm glad you appear to have grown up a bit. Long may it last.

Ha ha... just read this back. Sounds a bit easy doesn't it? That's cos it is

Venues Shutting
Sadly you are right Chalky. Jeez... how much effort must the above take? Personally, I have no time for such things. Or such people. I go to nighters to hear good music and to dance. End of. Oh, and to spend time and have a laugh with people who feel the same.
