Will be in Devon October I think, but unfortunately my wife finds us all bonkers being so mad about the music we love!! And if you get it your addicted!! As I posted earlier I never judge (one of my better points)...long haired, shaved haired, scruffy bugger, mods what ever...we are all into it for the music, it's an amazing scene I think, got someone once telling me about the stuff he had on tic-tac,,(ric-tic) bless him..never gonna cause me any bother, nice chap really...thank you..Rob

Most inappropriate request to a DJ....
That's a very valid point Steve!!!!......ive also said to a dj when he finished "loved it when you played ????? Sounded great, fitted in really well" to be told "that wasn't me it was the dj before me!"... I'm noticing a definite pattern!!!!!!.....Rob

Memorable DJ set
Dave Eyles is playing at pure soul in Nuneaton in April. I'm looking forward to hearing him, heard good things...it's a rare, underplayed club so he can do what he wants, my kind of night but not for everyone...lots of oldies are great and should be included in sets...lovely to hear lots of new stuff though....kind regards...Rob. p.s never heard a bad set from mr massey, he has one or two good records!!
