Thanks from me also for that link Mark.

How much did you pay for the other boxes `cos I know you`ve got more than one.. Anyway-anyone seen Jim The Hat lately?

I know exactly what you mean Grant. By the way, that rug on my avatar ain`t mine. It belongs to "The Dude"...

Don`t think he has-5 posts-he`ll get the hang of this place eventually. Just the other year I replied to a person on here from a different forum on another website entirely-I felt like the guy in the poncho.....Nah just joking...

Yep-good spot Grant-that`s the guy!!

Don`t ask..Someone played it though in 1974 i think and people danced to it..That place was well strange at times..Anyone remember that guy-who used to walk to the centre of the dancefloor and just stood there motionless-except for clapping his hands to the music. Wonder if he`s still around?

GARY GLITTER-ROCK N` ROLL PART 2-BELL RON GRAINER-THEME FROM THE PRISONER. And many other gems like these..

Right on brother...

Joan! You`re much too nice a woman for promoting darling..

We lose money most months but we keep doing it because we love it. The most our venue will hold is around 150 people max but we`ve never quite filled it to capacity. Most months we are nowhere near that. After paying for the room, paying the deejays and everyone else that needs paying plus drinks all night for the residents and a taxi home we normally end up losing approx. £20. Not bad for a quite awesome (and cheap might I add) party night out where everyone is invited don`t you think?

Time consuming. Plus much more responsibility and a sense of achievement at the end when it`s gone well. And if only one person says they`ve enjoyed it at the end of the night it`s been worth it.

That`s right-Don`t be so negative. It`s great to able to give our friends (punters..don`t you just hate that word..) the music they know (or don`t yet know) and love. Without promoters this scene (or any scene for that matter) wouldn`t even exist. But on the other hand it`s not just as easy as "knocking up a few flyers, going to a few venues and using SS" as you stated. But SS has made the job easier. I`ve been DJing at other peoples venues for longer than I can remember but only relatively recently (last 4 years) have I had the opportunity to actually promote and organise our own venue from the bottom up as it were. Love it.

And of course young...

Thanks Mark-bloody hell everyone looks so...er, slim! Regards Stuart Bower

Hello again John. The guitar intro is the black UK TMG release version with "Let`s Go Somewhere" on the flip. The backing singer intro is supposed to be the unreleased cut- Interesting that it`s on the EMI Music For Pleasure album.

Yeah-Shot through the roof more like. But I suppose anything is only worth what someone`s prepared to pay for it though.

Lee Fields- 500? Sold a Lee Fields for £20 at Cleethorpes Weekender in 1994 I missed it so much-I bought another for £30 two years later and I`ve still got it I expected to it to fetch its market value (so I thought) of about a ton for the issue. Never expected 500-How the prices have risen..

The CHERYLL ANN went for cheaper than it`s worth also- I was gonna bid but never noticed it
