Bragging again Dave. Everyone in the palace at some time copped off to In Orbit it was the theme tune and was played every Friday and Saturday at the end of the night, could it be she was just p*ss*d. Only joking lol QOF XX

I think In Orbit will always be a bit special to all of us from Rhyl and the Surrounding area as the Palace Disco was called the "Orbit" and we all had such good times there and was IMO the Orbit and Patti were crucial to why many of us love NS. Patti always had the greaatest records, old faves and the newest discoveries. memories eh lol QOF XX

Cigarette Ashes - theres another oldi but goodie - don't think I even have it anymore QOF X

Originally when very young had an aunt who was into Dusty etc then my older sisters were into motown. Then used to go to Prestatyn and St Asaph youthclub in about 72 which was all motown etc then a guy who has stayed one of my greatest mates of all time came to wrk for my mum he was into northern and that was that hooked and like dave, palace, dixieland, etc in rhyl and wigan with some other mates from rhyl (proably on the same coach). Can't really think of the actual first track that realy got me hooked just think it was the wholef feeling of the scene. Probably somehting rearly naff like At the Top of The Stairs and then my signature tune QOF lol QOF XX

morning dave

I Can't sing - can't dance either. But it's my front room and I'll make a fool of myself however I want, mind you need to get the blinds fixed or the neighbours may send round the men in little white coats one night!!

I personally am not a great lover of instrumentals, being a bit of handbag I like to have a sing along when I dance or listen to my records. Last night I was coming to the end of an emotionally shit, socially flat weekend and dreading that Monday morning feeling. But instead of reaching for the usual "feeling sorry for my self" type records, I dusted off about 2" of dust off "Bok to Bach". Had forgotten what a really lifting toon this is. Sometimes because a sound is overplayed or not seen to be "IN" we tend to forget how great they made us feel 20-30 years ago. Went to bed a lot more cheery and did not have severe Monday morning blues today. Probably first time it's been out of it's cover for about 7 years or more. What's your favourite instrumental or are there any instrumentals that lift your spirits? QOF X

Heh Frankie - you nicked my excuse for silly stuff QOF

Yeh - Simple really - Open front door and "Keep On Dancing Right Out The Door" QOF XXX PS put on clothes first it's cold this time of year out there in your jim jams, and It may frighten your neighbours!!

Brett - Every Night Can only say one thing to that "GET OUT MORE" QOF XX

Frankie Looks like you and me the only ones not at valatone and 100 club tonight. Will pm you with hotel/B&B finds for prestatyn in a few weeks - going to an all nighter on 23rd April in Llandudno so will have a mooch then. Oh and in answer to the thread - watching telly with Stella the slapper (Artois) and having a soulless eve but my deck keeps looking at me and I am sure it is saying come on play me. lol QOF XX

Two Sking in the snow and Sea cruise - and any version that had ever been made of either of them and non soul record at the moment f**king Amarillo

PS you should see the crap I've bought at 2 in the morning - beat this even bid and won a record I already had last week - well always declared to be the QOF does this confirm it

Our local KFC now has auctions last weekend 2 pieces of chicken, chips and coleslaw fetched £85 mind you it was 2 in the morning and all the punter were under the influence. Tip list your ebay stuff to finish after midnight and at weekends this way the bidders have just got back from the pub and will bid on anything. JOKE!! before you start throwing things at me for taking advantage of the alchollically challenged QOF XXX

Will do - but Mr Smirnoff may feel left out!!

McGuiness still ripping you off then Dave - tee hee only joking QOF XX

Mike I, like yourself and probably 95% of the people on the forum, am a purist but bringing the music to the attention of new people is important and if that's his way of doing it fair enough the people he introduces to the music may also become purists, and eventually vinyl junkies just like us. When someone these days first gets into NS it's very unlikely that they will even have a deck so CD's and MP3 is the only way they can play the music, until they get hooked and fork out for decks and vinyl. I have read Dave's other posts, re - cost of vinyl etc, and I can empathise, though do not necessarily agree, with some of the points made. I am just "front room" DJ trying to replace the collection of about 600 7" I lost 30 years ago (not the same records of course) and have probably spent about £250+ in the last three months getting to the grand total of about 50 records. I don't have a problem with the prices on the market at the moment - if I can't afford it I don't buy it, and am not envious of the people who can afford them in fact have respect for collectors who bring new discoveries to us and take the time and spend the money to do this. Dave is a main stream soul/oldies DJ and although his personal preference is for NS, he needs to keep a far wider selection of sounds so as to please "his public" to be able to carry such a wide choice of music as well as NS would cost him a fortune and take a serious number of years to collect. He does not profess that he is a NS DJ and does not pretend to be one but because his work is more mainstream doesn't make him one of the unwashed. He is spreading the word, which was my main point - and that can only be good can't it?

Prefer the other guy - rather someone who would pay to get the washing and ironing done

Now that sound like my kind a guy!!!! Intro please
