Underlying analysis here is: the feel for the music, its a constant. You have to know, love learn the words, express everything in the dance....and if youre going to add the pyrotechnics in your arsenal, they have to be timed for those influential moments like machine gun drum rolls. Ive actually judged this competition a number of times, 10 years since i last attended the event tbh, but did so mostly the earlier events when, it was evocative to watch....there were even then, a lot of good dancers around ( 2006/7 )....theres no real comparison to the life our age Group has lived though, the 70's encompassed the spirit of Northern soul, we all came from different walks of life and ' discovered/pioneered ' the music that the discovering/pioneering djs put in front of us. Yes the analogy of World and World series certainly rings with hypocracy....you just dont see other countries doing it anyway. Remember the ' World Disco Dance Championships?, Keb Darge?, that was probably more representative yes? I honestly didnt think the winner of the 2023 comp was any better than the previous 5 or 6, no real dynamism, girls will almost indefinitely give a good account of theirselves, competition or no....remember: The Casino held dance comps, i witnessed one in....75 i think and it was a girl who won it.....possibly Kim?, no airs and graces, just danced whilst the two lads flung theirselves about and didnt fall off the stage! If anyone feels inclined to get their high velocity sniper rifle out with silencer attached and take me down, please feel free to do so!, i intend no offence and consider i havent made any.....just sort of observational.

I can vouch for the fact that it would take Tim a considerable amount of time to sell his own collection.....it is vast. But.....none of us are here forever and the fact is, in this day and age ( and has been the case for a number of years now ) these records are antiques and as such, a collection is an invaluable nest egg...he told me in 2018, the tipping point is coming very soon where more people start to sell up...that was nearly 6 years ago, and theres been a steady trickle. Does the market eventually implode?, he dosnt see it happening yet, its dependant on what it does globally, people abroad are still buying...as for the scene that these records created?...the next 5 years is realistically the summit....its stretching the imagination to say 10, particularly for our generation/age group....that would be entirely dependant on the generations we've brought up.

So.....was the mystery of September Jones solved as well? I'm no expert/sherlock holmes but, ive been asked this question just now.

Paul, wasnt he a rock dj originally, just jumped on the bandwagon when he saw an opportunity?

No one could ever devalue or underestimate the importance of the 100 club, i went...it was, and still is, as relevant and important as its always been...its place in our history is guaranteed.
