Yeah I know mate but to be honest I'm not really bothered. I just thought I'd point out whilst some were being picky that he has used both ways to spell it.

Two topics merged and title amended slightly to avoid further confusion and duplication of topics.

Legend is used all too often for people who have done little to deserve that status but in the case of carl Davis he is a legend and a genius. He made an immense contribution to black music. R.I.P.

Popsike copy and pastes are great pieces of info but if possible can we edit out the rubbish and the spaces please, makes it a little easier to follow and read. Thanks.

It's Hestor on his 45's.

Mine is on Hemisphere and sounds fine. I've heard others say Hemisphere quality not great but not in my experience.

some demand for this killer track of late. If you like useless trivia, it's Guy's old Hudson Alexander - I'm So Glad cover up.

La Jay Alexander might be able to help, they were good mates. I'll give him a shout later.

Exactly the same can be said about something you know can't it? New or old if you don't like it you are stuck with it.

Can I ask when posting videos please type who and what the track is. Those viewing on mobile device cannot always play said video and it will help if they can see who and what it is, they might be able to add to the discussion. I thank you

As I understand this topic is about records that are played at venues week in week out and what you never tire of hearing so in the spirit of the topic can we stick to this.

before someone complains about a particular word one post removed, two others with the word causing a fuss edited

The Ravins was made massive by Andy Dyson. It has been about for summat like 20 years at least, it just took a while to have its day.

fantastic final amount. well done to all concrned.

It might be better if you used the front page/articles section when you have the full information. If not sure how to add an article give us a shout and will sort. It will get more exposure for Yvonne.

Far from it Adam, I was simply responding to Jock's question and nothing you said.

I don't think you have said anything negative about LL Adam and what you said is nothing we haven't talked about face to face so no need IMO to feel you have to defend yourself. Anyone can say anything they like about any venue as long as it is constructive IMO.

Yes give us some names worthy of replacing one of our residents. We are struggling to come up with a guest who has something different to bring to the table. We'd love to know why someone is worthy of a set? To be fair right in the middle is our guest and then Butch who is still streets ahead of anyone else.

Spot on Phil. I can't understand the fascination for the DJ to have a better time than those who he is supposed to be entertaining. I go to hear what a DJ plays not how he acts, like you say it is totally irrelevant, it's what's in the groove that counts.....I've heard that somewhere before?

Old Gary Spencer biggie.

I agree it is pretty rare and like you seen them go through ebay. Think the last one was around $700?? It has been around some while but not widely known outside collectors.

Paul Barker did a really good sety at Lifeline and I would recommend him to any promoter. He went on at 4 am very nervous but was fazed. Steve G did a great set of dancers and he wasn't stuck to the 60's either. I also enjoyd Ady C and Marc Forrest. Dave Greet can still do the business as well, he was very nervous at Lifeline but packed the floor. IMO we haven't had one bad guest, all had and still have something different to add to what is on offer, not afraid to play a fiver record followed by a £5K record, age may not be on the side of some but experience and knowledge is something you cannot buy...although a few try!!

Makes a change for you to talk about someone else My apologies. Why not just say who you are talking about because any other time the only venue who gets it right for you is Burnley. As for Kings Hall, yes it is a fantastic night out but the average punter there aren't your average nighter attendee and it isn't right for everyone'just like any other venue. We all have our own tastes and favourite venues and fave DJ's. But at the end of the day every promoter should have responsibility when it comes to the progression of the scene, both musically and DJ wise but unfortuately it will nver happen because too many don't see the bigger picture just their own selfish needs. Any way back to the topic............

Your upset? pity you didn't think of that yesterday with your behaviour. You don't mind slagging off something somone else loves but as soon as someone mentions your favourite venue your upset. Let's be grown up about it, we all know what veniue Terry is referring to don't we. So why be upset? I haven't slagged Burnley off, I haven't had a go at the promoter or its DJ's either. Karl, Sean, Cliff etc have my full respect for what they do and have done. BUT it is ok for Terry to slag off everyone else? What do you expect others to do, sit and take the rubbish he spouts? It is ok for him to say that only one promoter gets it right and that in essence no one else knows what they are doing? It is just utter rubbish. There are plenty of venues that have done either as much or more to get this scene off its arse as you put it. Plenty of venues and promoters that are far from retro lovers or someones preferred venue. Your beloved venue is playing nothing that others aren't so lets not put it on a pedestal it doesn't rightly deserve. It is ONE of MANY good venues out there playing uptempo dance music. There are plenty out there giving youth its chance, that is fact. BUT whoever DJ's, whatever their age they have to have something to offer that isn't already on offer, youthful exuberance isn't enough. And that is very hard to do. You cannot discard a DJ simply because he is older.
