day shift Dave

which yet again brings me back to the vinyl thing you Djs & collecters bang on about let's keep it vinyl but then 99% of Dj's out there haven't got the records so all Joe public gets is what you Djs have got Who would play the records, if not the DJ....confused. What I mean is a vast majority of djs could not have ,own or carry the Records to play to there public i.e a vast majority of the oldies that aren't played to day is becourse the Dj's of today haven't got them to play on vynil so or limited to what they can play ,and so are in search of new stuff to play I don't care what a tune is played on ,eg vynil .C.d .mp3 .As long as its played .As I've said before I feel alot of people being attracted to the scene need to hear the old stuff as well as the stuff being put out today

Need to alter your profile m8 age 86 to me mean 's you need a seat lol

with all respect Russ I've been to some old'es nights where a dj plays that middle of road 60's stuff that for me all sounds the same & like wise modern nights the same for me 90% of it is not for me but may be it float's your boat! I still think theres alot of older stuff out there that dosn't get enough airtime which yet again brings me back to the vinyl thing you Djs & collecters bang on about let's keep it vinyl but then 99% of Dj's out there haven't got the records so all Joe public gets is what you Djs have got AhhhhThat feels better . Best Richo.

They've all ways had chairs at the venue's I've been to but that dosen't meen you have to take root LOL unless like yourself your a Geriatric LOL

Personally I prefer oldies/R/B but then there are the odd moden tracks I like But ony if its danceable some of the stuff out there today is sit and listen to stuff not what I want to hear when I'm out

In reply to what you have said ,I'm not tring to be negative I have and still do travel to different areas for soul events Nott's Linc's Derby's York's over the past 40 years & have had some excellent nights out only to see people how run events fall out/desagree and hence start a separate event running same day! . In response to new people entering the scene which is great! How many are coming for the Music ,and how many are coming for a night out?, How many promoter's /Djs care enough what they play & whats been played? We have seen over the last few years the pub & club trade dwindle, which in turn someone say's let's put a soul night on Hence I give you the amount of event's !. Not class nights with Dj's with the records That these's day's we hear rarely because they haven't got it and in some Circomestances don't know, and people on here say let's take the N/soul scene forward I say let reeducate it first. See now you've distracted me from the point I was making about to many events LOL.

While I agree with some points you make I still feel there are to many events in the same areas. And many soul fans still travel fair distance to venues and I wondered if dwindling numbers at events was due to the amount of events on per wekend

I agree with what you say so many tunes you never hear some say same old same old .And some say we need new stuff to move the scene forward I think if Some of the music from the past that dosen't get played that often 'was air'd more.But that distracts from the point I was making that in the same area on most weekends there are more than 1 event It mystifies me.

No not in anyway to wind folk up . Just looked around the venue ,which is a great place , someone said in Derby area alone that day there were 3 other soul Do's ,on that day. may be like someone eles said there are to many wanna be D,Js

Went to Rolls Royce club Sunday Mini All Dayer Always use to be very busy, Still had a fair few in but nothing compared to a few years back. I just wondered if anyone else thought there were to many Events these days

been back a couple of times don't think I'll bother again. no disrespect to you m8.I think its great what you've done. went to nighter in shopping centre !!!mmmmmmmmmm

the three that have always given me a shiver & made the hairs on stand up and still do Bobby Paris I walked Away At Intro Gerri Granger I go to Pieces AT Intro Timi Youro It@ll Never be over for All of it

What a crock! Disappointed though it was taking a long time !

'I likes this

what a shame knew Clive we always spoke I knew he was ill, But was shocked to hear the news. Clive always seamed to be there at every venue we went to weather it was in NOTT'S. Derby's. York's. Stoke. Always spoke What great chap will miss him. RIP Clive

As I said before some great stuff & loads you don't hear that often if at all Richo KTF!

Enjoyed it, yes it was predictable. Put a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye when it showed the Epitaphs of David Ruffin.Marvin Gaye Livi Stubbs,Ect made me wonder if any of them who passed at such young ages, would have carried on making great music.. I did think Isley's should have had a track on there. Richo.

Love em Pete some great tracks that don't get played that often MAGIC

Just read News O,M,G. such sad news ,what a legand he will be missed
