========== bought a us original of this last year on Omack...well i had do didnt i as it was a wigan sound and it was err played at wigan got it on a live tape from wigan from 78.. would take a brave dj to play this again wouldnt it ?

======== what a great record this ,,hardly ever hear this now....

doing the rounnds again this one.. this is a lovely copy £100 pm me if interested regards mark

======== ive got a black issue of freddy williams..

Thought this would have been on already but it hasnt.... From another source it seems Kev has been taken poorly in the US I hope I havent overstated his illness I for one hope he is well and makes a speedy recovery Get well soon Kev Regards Mark

What was the biggest attendance? 2,000 - 3,000 i know when i went the end of an era you couldnt move in there but i was just wondering how people were crammed in that venue please no sarky comments.. regards mark

====== yes its a tricky area isnt it if youre passionate about your sounds and want to play but cant..can be so frustrating when you dont get an opportunity on the big stage probably why there are so many events on but its not the end of the world...just bide yer time and it will come to those that wait..

========== i think every decent dj will have their day..sooner or later we are seeing alot of stalwarts leave or not do as many as they did which in turn is giving alot of new blood their chance... regards mark

======= seen some of the vava playlists and they look great one 45 im keen to track down is johnny dunne - your hanging me up on veep any one got a tape of this also if any one wants to swap any tapes for early wigan ones ,,give me a shout # best mark

====== hi andy ultimately im a forgotten oldies man,,,a modern day Dave Evison... i do tend to get booked for oldies dos where usually get inundated with oldies requests so its difficult at times to play alternative stuff but if its in the box i play it if i get asked,im not complaining as it feels good to see people dancing to your tunes.. when i do get the chance to play what i like its a mixture of uptempo 60's and 70's oldies..if u see my posts in 'look in your box' its usually something ive read that was played in the 70's and ill buy it and if i thinks it good ill rave about it ill probably be playing it ,,until the next lot of 45s comes in!! i also play things that others would nt even dream of or believe shouldnt be played especially the old wigan stuff like 'wind - grooving with mr bloe' and 'salt and pepper' things ive reactivated in my own little way inlude:- little beaver - listen to my heartbeat henry boatwright - i can take or leave your loving - lost family - blow my mind - innovation peggy scott - you got it all - claude garbo - fox in a mini skirt - ric martin - i travelled the road - mgm little rose little - youve got the love- roulette one thing i am proud of is i never play the same spot over and over cuz basically i never know what im gonna play and just go with the flow.. im not everyones cup of tea but certainly individual lol regards mark
