Playlists, Or The Lack Of Them
To be fair Kev i think people were just asking why there was a lack of them and others have given various reasons. To be honest not one playlist has made me decide to go to a particular venue. I know the reputation of most DJ's and promoters via either listening and attending or word of mouth. If I have time I read the playlists. I rarely post one as I don't generally have the time... or the memory

Dean Andersons Radio Show- Gilly As Guest
Just giving this a bump for those getting into work and fancy something to listen too. Excellent show with some great anecdotes and tales of Gilly's trips and the friendships he made.

The Prestatyn Soul Weekender Returns
I hope they do the Vibrations justice and let them do a proper set, not just two of their most popular tracks three times.

Old Soul Publicity Shots
They were withdrawn from eBay and bought job lot by two Chicago (?) collectors I think.

Gilly just telling a story about james Lately on Dean's show. James apparently went to school with Berry Gordy. Gordy was a tough little cookie, boxer an all that but James gave him a good hiding

Artists We Know Nothing About
I'm sure Gilly told me some years ago, we were travelling somewhere, and sure he said he'd been round to James Lately's house/mothers with either Popcorn or Dave Hamilton but he couldn't get past James' mother.

Playlists, Or The Lack Of Them
I'mpretty much agree again Terry, I like to play and hear dancers and by imagination I mean each DJ having by and large different to the others, most of the main DJ's had a different set at one time. Today many DJ's have the same records.

Mr Manships Auction Results 13-6-2012
£213 for Danny Harrison? There was an issue on here few weeks ago for £60. A demo last week I think for £45. A bit of homework and some could save themselves a fortune.
