Love it Pete, cheers

Paul, Prestwich has been running on a monthly basis for around 9 years, 2 rooms, modern and northern, ive missed 2 nights since it started, and in all that time i bet ive not spent a hour in the modern room when totalling all my visits in there, totally different night out and so i'm reliably informed, and from looking in from the outside when in the record bar which is between the two rooms its always packed with a completely different crowd from the 'main' room, that for those into modern soul its as good as it gets, Just sayin it can be done and done very successfully, but the music policy miles apart, Pete

Respect and kind of agree with most of your comments, but isn't it just a possibility that sounds you are tired of others see as fresh and sounds that inspire you to find a copy others see as tired? the point i'm tryin to make is if 'moses smith' is filling the floor at an event that promotes that kind of policy then fair play, theres plenty of nights/events geared towards playing unknown/semi unknown music, ive been at many nights when a record is played and heard simultaniously 'not this again' and 'love this what is it? A case of hoping an event does what it says on the tin, and then making the choice of returning or not, not trying to change what is possibly a successful formula for that particular night, Lastly too many now seem to detatch themselves from the paying public with the dreadful term that is 'punters' it seems everyone these days isn't a 'punter' as if those that are out to be entertained/educated are a different breed of animal, Not directed wholly at you Trev but just a case of one persons tired oldie could be another persons all time fave or even another persons fresh sound, and if any event is getting the numbers through the door on a regular basis then they are doing something right and delivering a service that those numbers are willing to pay for (punters)

Got one last week off the bay 7 USD, great tune!

Quality Stuart , Once had somebody preaching 'why can't people move on' to me at a venue, then ran to the dancefloor at the sound of 'the love i lost' intro, on their return i mentioned the said track is hardly a case of moving on, reply - ' i know but thats a good un'

If you have to think/ask about it, in other words if in doubt, don't bother,

Ive got Lee Williams, so can i just have the chimes for free?

Try this Flanny ya clumsy bugger Ebay 260201799173 buy it now Pete

Really? got 1 off the bay about 3 weeks ago under a tenner with shipping,

Joan, with respect, when you say no northern DJ's do you mean no 'familiar' northern DJ's? Askin as theres many 'northern/motown/club soul/ whatever DJ's out there would love to have this event on their cv, thousands of em in fact, Personally i will (hopefully as not booked yet) be at cleethorpes, love it, and loved it for many years, (think the first Maxine brown was the first time, with Mr coulson, know ya readin this pete ) about 96? and not missed since, highlight of the year for me, cheers Ady And so many stories But still re non NS DJ's how do you know? As said 'with respect' as you may know every name on the line up, Pete

Great point, NS or not i'm sure the 'market' its not aimed at will be targeted heavily in the promoting of this event, Pete

I have a few hammers, send me the 45 and i'll sort it for ya

Laughin mine off and don't know why

Funny how you posted this srtaight after Bearsy's post

Arn't some of the Ted Taylor - Somebodies always trying PURPLE?

If collecting is treated as a hobby (as it should be) and not an investment, then there should be no worries, Would a golfer or an angler expect his money back for his expensive equipment if he packed it in? Or does a football fan expect a return on his season ticket when the seasons finished? I think not, The way i look at it if i pay say £100 for a record its because at that time i have £100 to spend and thats what i want to spend it on, if when ive had my £100 worth of 'fun' out of it anything i get for it moving it on could be classed as profit, Stops me worrying anyway

Current fave -Torchboy - AKA - Don Estelle - AKA - Nige Brown (only cos ive just seen him signed in)

Tony, have to say 'not' in my (limited) experience, Pete

Pretty much correct, but i wasn't aware of a connection between vests and baggies and boots and pressings, does this mean events where a lot of the punters wear this gear play mostly boots and reissues? Pete

Touched on this earlier in the thread - discoveries drying up, just a minor detail Trev, if everybody decides to sell up and buy boots who will buy your OV?

Fine Mike, bit tricky for me that though, as i don't carry any

Hello Mike, think the safest option is pull up 20+ originals, can't or shouldn't be difficult, then everybody's happy
