Requests - Are They Ignored
well. for my limited experience of DJ'ing , if anyone asks for a specific tune and i have it, it gets played. a DJ is there for the punters' enjoyment and to get folk dancin, regardless of style IAN

Stoke Accommodation
We love the Kings Hall,, but as its a thousand miles home, we've decided to get an overnight stay. now i've had a look at a few and found some dodgy reviews. does anyone know of large chains (travelodge etc) close by? heres a link to a review page regarding a certain motel close to kings hall :: https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186378-d245328-Reviews-Plough_Motel-Stoke_on_Trent_Staffordshire_England.html We'll stay clear of that one ta in advance

Blue Max Rip
very very sad news. These tributes on here only confirm to us all what a stalwart/pioneer/giant we've lost. To me personally, 'Blue Max' was legendary name that was spoken about when we were youngsters starting out on our soul journey. My late Brother in law would mention his name quite often, but to me he was out of my reach because i was still at school. amazing that over 30 years have passed since then, but 'Blue Max' is still mentioned in such high esteem. proves to me as someone who only met him the once (last year at the Torch reunon), what a true gent we've lost RIP Max

What'S Your Take On Rare Soul?
I would like to give Bidds a try I do listen to quite a bit of Rare Soul when im at home But I tend to go to alot of oldies nights because my partner Ian & my friends go....................but it can get a bit boring hearing the same old records & if i hear bloody Mitch Ryder one more time.........................im going to throw the dj off that stage So im all for a Rare Soul night it shows the dj's have some imagination Debbie x
