And here's me just about to bid $2000. Only joking!

Hmmm... but what you might think of as a great two hour set might be someone else's hell on earth. And if there is just the one room it might mean the venue is half empty by the time the next DJ comes on. I'm not sure what you mean by 'variety of style of sounds'? I'd say this can also be said of some all nighters too Steve.

DJing is only a bit of fun when all's said and done. I'm a punter like any other. I don't consider myself a DJ and I certainly couldn't promote. Jeez... Pete Lawson's do nearly killed me! DDA is just good fun and half hour spots seem to suit... even the guests enjoy them. Last month Gaz Simon said he liked it cos it allowed him to play a more 70s orientated spot for his first set and then 60s in his second. And when Mick H came it was with the intention of his first set being stuff that we had never heard before and that's what he did. And believe me... he loved it as much as we all did. Like I said... not for every venue because each one is different. One thing I will say though is when you have top quality residents, like for example at Lifeline, with one hour spots there is no escaping the fact that some will get a not so great time. Perhaps a rota would be a good idea... where one month a DJ did 11 - 12 and the next month 12 - 1 and the month after 1 - 2 and so on. That way all DJ's get the chance at the different times and also, we the punters, get the chance to hear them at different times also.

I was actually being a little sarcastic. But your reply made me glad I posted.

GREAT TUNE REGARDLESS What am I like... sorry Kev.

It's the instrumental... I think its the better production. Be even better if it had the vocals on it.

Yep great tune. Don't you wish they'd put the vocals on the b side rather than the other? George Hughley... WHAT A TUNE!

Me too But like Russ never seen a white demo.

$900 That's cheap as chips! What a tune too. Its times like these I wish I had a grandmother

Plus you could say that any DJ worth his salt should be able to work with that amount of time

No like I said... its not for every venue... but it suits us. Then again, we are only a soul night. As for pissing our guests off... I think a 9 - 10 spot might piss them off more.

Yeah we do half hour sets. Mainly because it gives everyone a chance at a decent time. We do resident, guest, resident, guest, with each resident and each of the two guests getting 2 x half hour sets each. Not for every venue - but it seems to suit our night

It sure is! I have an Audrey Slo... anyone give a heads up as to it's value? I'm just crap at what things are going for these days.

Although I am from Preston I'm really not sure. Always thought it was the last Friday of the month though

I'm with you Jayne. These days people log onto the internet, write a few posts and genuinely think they are part of the northern soul scene. Hello? To be 'part of the northern soul scene' you need to get out there and actually go to venues. Not just post a few words on the internet. You can love soul music by not going to venues, but you can't be part of the scene by sitting in your front room.

Hi Ady. I've not forgot! I don't keep my records here and got back late last night. Will go down today and get it out for you.

Oh, and it's Carol JONES not James

I know Paul-S had a Mighty Marvelows listed in the sales section

That it is sir Well I say it is. I know it's the same as a track by Little Richard - but I don't know what its called.

I have the record Ady but visiting the parents at the moment. Back later today, will scan it for you if someone hasn't already done it. Best J

Well here's hoping that's a lesson learned young man! Not the 'Track 18' cd was it?

Now here's a thing... if you did ALL your friends cd's.. and not just selected ones... then I could have posted it up for you.

I've not got that one and I only post up tunes that I have. I'm sure someone can oblige...
