Yeh, can't confirm any of the clubs mentioned as too young to go - missed the original Wheel by 3/4 wks - my slightly older mates from school made it to Whitworth St. the week before closure then we all ( 8 of us ) went to Majorca for a fortnight - oldest being 18 - came back to find Wheel no more. but obviously the 45 was around and known and getting played - My brother Chris is the sage on these sort of things - I just remember thinking - What a disappointment as a so called cover-up. Steve

Berts apple crumble - the quik When at Upper school in Birstall Leicester in '71 in 6th form we had a disco every Weds & Fri. lunchtime on the attached youth centre and a student teacher pitched up - I think from Loughborough - and as we were playing all the latest stuff from Selecta-disc and Redifusion in Nottingham he had an interest in what we were playing and one session he arrived with a covered-up British 45 - which when played was an uptempo item - for a few weeks he would not let on what it was but just prior to finishing at our school he told us it was @the Quik' Berts apple crumble - lets be honest - you wouldn't believe it either - and neither did my brother Chris or me but he was insistent that's what it was and it had been played at the Wheel, Night Owl and other clubs. When I say it was covered up I really meant the label had been destroyed - What did we know back then about condition/condition/condition - I personally wrote my name all over my MGM copy of Fathers Angels - Bok to Bach - Doh Steve

Just a thought - can we please stop referring to a certain book as though it was some kind of definitive listing - I know it has become a point of reference for many people - a well intentioned relative even bought me a copy as a present - a quick flick through and it was consigned to the 'car boot box' - it was and still is, one persons' personal opinion at a single moment in time and as such could be a serious candidate for the re-commencement of book burning as a means of cleansing the proletariat - certainly for the damage its contents have wreaked since its publication. An alternative title could have been - 'Become a DJ in one easy lesson' (and rack off a sizeable % of punters) Don't get me wrong I've known the author since he pitched up as a 15yr.old at the Torch and some of my discoveries are contained within it's covers, but like so many events, - World Wars / technological breakthroughs / Northern Soul - the history tends to be written by the victors / survivors - both physically and commercially and this book was first and foremost a commercial venture and as such must be deemed a success. It's effect on the scene and the DJ landscape is more questionable but I have to agree that the area cliques that perpetuate the same old play lists and same insular outlook are a serious drag on anybody venturing slightly further afield as most local gigs suffer from this malaise - I would go as far as to say that most of the dj's do not have a clue about presentation, continuity, There is a lot to be said for having some sort of chronological knowledge of this most varied scene. Last Autumn / Christmas I did some of my very infrequent appearances - at one well known club in Nottingham the other DJ's were offering my playlist from 20yrs ago at the same club and at a more local affair in Melton - I thought I'd put on a cracking oldies but rarities (Mr.Soul/Fascinators/Montclairs/Thee Midnighters etc.) spot only to be told by a couple of punters 'aye up mate - didn't know any of the sounds you played' - fortunately I'm not stupid and understand that whether there's no door tax or it costs a fiver I mixed in a few stds. and a couple of unknowns and kept the floor going, a fact conceded by said punters - I just thanked them and told them to get out more I'm not expecting a flood of offers for spots even after also returning in triumph in Jersey recently - Speak clearly - make sense - don't mis-cue - have a decent playlist - play to the crowd (better still - know your crowd) - involve them in the evening - unfortunately I have nothing to offer other than this and 45yrs experience behind the decks - I can't offer a reciprocal back slapping experience for promoters/dj's - that way the paying customers have a better night and all this talk of the scene being knackered /. vibrant - depending on your take will be irrelevant. Are there really people out there who are so desperate for fame / acknowledgement but certainly not fortune that they will continually work for nothing - trust me a lot of the promoters take advantage of this whilst trousering either door money or fees from venues - ( yes fees from venues). I remember being short changed to the tune of 50% on my agreed fee at an all-nighter years ago in Leeds - packer as well - never went again. Push the boat out folks - but slowly - you have to earn the right to introduce new stuff, particularly if it's an unsuspecting public - bringing folks back to life from an existence in aspic can be a slow process - but lets face it some of us have been trying for nearly 50yrs and being eternal optimists we await the epiphany.
