Johnny K Killens takes some beating with 'Frenchy The Tickler'

The guy who delivers milk to all the local Tesco stores said exactly that to one of my lads. "I've gotr a box of Northern Soul records in my loft". I've got he lads working on him to bring them into work. I'll let you know what comes of it

Yes it was at Winsford. the track was Walter & The Admerations which was being played by a DJ from the Oswestry area on an acetate he'd had cut. Butch was selling records at the back of the hall and when it started to play he left his stall, walked up the room, onto the stage, took the arm off the record as it was playing and (allegedly because I couldn't see this bit) threw it across the stage.

No, it actually happened
-
Not any longer (I'll have a look what boots I've got knocking around in the sales box)
-
The 12" promo that Kent records did with the Art Gentry track on it. Why ? Because Ady needed a scan of the sticker on the cover.

If you still need it tonight I'll do it for you

We could have lots of variations, 'the ghost of webby dublin', or 'webbydublin is still here', or 'webbydublin now owns ss', or even 'webby dublin is a scouse nutter'

Thought long and hard about it, then it came to me in a flash of inspiration !

They play it at the end of every Wigan Rugby League match, but I've never watched football there.

These are vocals added over the instrumentals in a flat in Hong Kong by Dave Burton & Co. Done about ten years ago maybe.

How come you've changed your name on SS THREE times this year then ?

Chris, The thread is about celebrities !

Do you mean 'The In Crowd' by Mike Ritsion & Stuart Russell ?
-
If they own it. it's clearly not a boot, but as it's not on the original label that the first release was, it's a reissue. Legitimate yes, would I personally play it ? No. If you want to, that's up to you because I have no intention of telling anyone what they should DJ with. I'll leave that to their conscience.
-
As an original acetate exists, and assuming one of you two owns it, the other shouldn't be playing a carver, it's just a bootleg of the acetate.

In the majority of cases with small labels the artist didn't get royalties (they were just happy to either get a one off fee, or just happy to make a record), or if they did they were swallowed up by the recording costs. The only people that theoretically made money were the copyright holders for the song, ie the writer (or the record label owner who bought the song for a one off fee from the writer and then registered it in his own name) So the question of royalty payments is completely irrelevent in terms of forty year old vinyl.

What a great time we had. Johnny Weston and I left Birmingham airport at midday on the Saturday with brifght sunshine and 26 degrees. We arrived in Edinburgh to dull overcast skies and by 5pm rain ! It didn't dampen our spirits though, Derek collected us from the airport and we went on a magical mystery tour to collect some speakers and cables. After a fish supper and a couple of beers John and I left Derek to finish setting up, and we jumped a lift to the Spiders Web where John was doing a spot. Great little underground cellar Soul Club.

What a great time we had. Johnny Weston and I left Birmingham airport at midday on the Saturday with brifght sunshine and 26 degrees. We arrived in Edinburgh to dull overcast skies and by 5pm rain ! It didn't dampen our spirits though, Derek collected us from the airport and we went on a magical mystery tour to collect some speakers and cables. After a fish supper and a couple of beers John and I left Derek to finish setting up, and we jumped a lift to the Spiders Web where John was doing a spot. Great little underground cellar Soul Club. I know it's been running years but this was my first visit. To my surprise I probably knew 80% of the people in there, including the Italians and Germans ! Didn't recognise George Wallace at first though, because he's shaved his beard off !! Back to the MacRobert Pavillion for the niter. When we arrived in the afternoon I thought it was a huge room and would need a lot of bodies to fill it, so I was pleasantly surprised to see the room well over what I was expecting at 11pm, Virtually all the seats were taken and the dancefloor was warming up nicely. A few more beers and then it was time to DJ. Derek came to me and said a few people had been saying there was too much midtempo being played. No problem, straight into it with a few banging Oldies. Floor full ! Job done. I left Johnny Weston with a full floor and went straight through to the R & B room for my second set. Now whilst I'm known for playing R & B in my normal set, I don't consider myself an R & B DJ, especially when I'm up against the best of the Scottish & Irish R & B DJs. So I was outside my comfort zone with this one. But that gave me the nervous edge you need to put a good set in, and I was quite pleased that not only did people not throw things at me, they danced right though my set. Quite a few people came and looked at what I was plying as well, so that gave me some quiet satisfaction. In fact I was really pleased with the way the set went, and it gave me a real buzz doing it. Back into the main room for some more beers, until the end of the night, to find Johnny Weston DJing in the Modern room, virtually to himself. Not that it bothered John, he just played what he wanted. A lift back to the airport, to try and get a last beer with Andy Dennison, but strangely the bar wasn't open until midday on the land side, but opened at 6am on the airside, so we said our goodbyes to Andy and went through to have a liquid breakfast. Overall, a great night. Derek Robertson did a fantastic job pulling it all to gether, and I think everyone who attended it really enjoyed it. So thanks to Derek for inviting us, thanks to all the people who had a chat and a beer, and thanks for the Scottish hospitality. See you all again soon.
