Can't choose between..... "ever since I met you baby I've been walkin' into closed doors" (Frankie Beverly & the Butlers - if that's what you wanted")......and "in the middle of the night I wake up screamin'" (Soul Twins - quick change artist) both are some of the first lyrics I heard at my first niter and at exactly the right moment to benefit from heightened perception ( A. Liker - Riker Town)

The direction that the music goes in at an event is ultimately down to the DJ's surely? They're the ones driving the bus. The promoter sets down the outline for the music policy and knows what to expect from the DJ's he appoints, but he's only the bus conductor "tickets please". The punters at both ends of the spectrum and those in the middle (and I would suggest that the majority fall in the middle, despite their appearance) are the passengers and all they can do is choose where to get on and off the bus. The fact that people aren't dancing to a particular record needn't be because they don't like or appreciate it, they might be in the middle of a chat, in the bog, at the bar, too knackered from their last dance or not confident enough to get up to a tune they may not be over familiar with. Even If only a few of the better dancers get up to a lesser known track, this will get the attention of people watching the floor and is likely to encourage them to follow suit. Maybe the connoisseurs ought to get up on the floor to make sure they keep gettin' what they prefer? I reckon that, regardless of the presumed persuasions of the punters, keeping the tempo right, with highs and lows in the right sequence and mixing up the lesser known stuff with the better known stuff should keep enough atmosphere in the room, which to me personally is more important than having a full dance-floor.

Them Roxy birds at Pips, pencil skirts, stockings and stilettos.....mind how you go "in the Toon" dressed like that mate

I'm more "CUTP" (Cough Up The Phlegm).....and "COCOA"....myself these days

Think the Wheel thing is perhaps to do with it being the 50th anniversary. In the events guide for this weekend's mini-niter, Pete Robert's says they've even got a special limited edition Twisted Wheel Ale brewed by Green King available for the night!! "No such thing as bad publicity"?

right up my street that little lot andre maurice - your'e the cream of the crop can't remember hearing that for donk's

sorry OT but....looks like the driver problem's gone.....got full access to the site now

Amen to that Rev. Len .......more fat cows than thin cows where I live though! .......and you are no ore off-topic than usual mate

business really slow for me, loads of jam tomorrow jobs but cash flow hurting at the minute........hope its just seasonal ....saving up for Scotland in November all the same, going to have to be a last minute booking job though in the circumstances ....back on thread, waiting to get nasty at the appropriate time... .....NOT

driver error on forums......can get into "events" and "gallery"......but get the error message when trying to get into "forums" ?

me too

Never got pulled at a niter, got ripped off and rolled as a youngster though, so used to drop it before we went in. Two near escapes though... One time me and Ronnie Hanley squeezed in the passenger seat of Bry Millard's triumph spitfire and we got pulled by a ford angela panda car a couple of miles from Wigan, just as we got out to be searched, a big noisy motor, zephyr or some such, went passed at about 70mph, so the bobbies said "be on yer way" and raced off to catch the "zephyr".....which was nice, especially as one of us had 10 years in their bag!!! The other time, me & Bry had scored off some lads from Rochdale. They got bubbled by a "mutual friend" who also bubbled Bry but only knew his surname. Bry's older brother, who was an old Wheelie, had a thriving business and a 911 was targeted by mistake, they searched his house and dug his garden up but found now't. We sh*t ourselves and I ended up wearing our stash round my waist for a week until we got shut!!!!

will give that a listen

their loss.....the combinations...the tranells...sanfran'TKO's top stuff...but love the 70's stuff too..Anderson Bros etc reminds me of the Ritz dayers hearing such different tunes played alongside each other...really nice mix

Blindin' effort that mate.....especially seein' as it was unscripted

....never heard the of Dr Who theme tune being played out before !!

Really enjoyed that thanks

Think there's been a thread on here recently about "The Motown Sound" series.......still got Vol.7......got played to death same time as 16NSTH's LP... ....and I would grade my copy of that as "FAR".....(i.e. f*cked and ruined)....got seen at more teenage parties than a bottle of Woodpecker!!

just found this thread on here about Disco Classics, where "Frosty Jack" says the LP I've mentioned above was referred to in Vol 3 as being the first volume of the Disco Classics series....

Yep, "Motown Memories - 16 Non-stop Tamla Hits" continuous play, no gap between tracks. In the spiel on the back cover he talks about the tracks being popular at "Discos"!! Don't know if it was a one off or part of a series.
