I dropped one of mine and put a dink/bend in it...hit it with the flat of an hammer - plays fine. They are quite dogged and not as fragile as you'd think.

'Roadblock' - I'm saying no more.

Used to cause mayhem on the floor in M's.

The cardigans.

Just had to post your photo's on me FB account mate - looks great and best of luck.

...and now the thread goes copletely off topic.

It was Billy Davidson who got booed for playing this (I supplied Bill's music at the time ): ....although this is the wrong mix, can't find the 'House Mix' on YT. That same eventful year was when Colin Curtis played a 7"s set in a house stylee and Kev Edwards hilariously opened up with a filthy Ice T accapella, dropped the house lights then blew the stage up with some overly-heavy pyrotechnics setting fire to two girls blouses - the whole venue froze and I fell off me chair laughing. :lol: :lol:

I Don't Believe it (Indeed I Do)?

Nice list - I'm not normally foggy on Searlings stuff - but don't remember Marvell Love from Wigan - just Rotherham. I'm no doubt wrong but can someone shove it down me throat?

You never know do you Bazza?!

I'm guilty of it too mate.

Exactly Len. Exactly.

...I get you and agree but that keeps it at level one - underground - no exposure can't be good.

Just to put the record straight. I'm the same weight as when I went to Wigan and I'm a Dancer....i mean a real DANCER!! So this thread is not in any way attempting to turn Soul events into Bingo sessions, just a light hearted prod at dancefloor politics and attempting to unlock the mystique surrounding why social non-dancefloor music events tend to be a little less intense.

Thanks for the reply. DJ's would though - I filled the floor at the last SSW but I wouldn't say I played a pearler of a set, just saw the last bloke struggle his bollocks off with a load of rareities and did what I had to do to bring it back round...prostituted meself for the dancefloor maybe. Dancefloors are dangerous.

You're not getting it are you Winnie?!

I'm not really talking about dancing, I'm on about the fact that the atmosphere tends to be a little less intense without a floor to be danced upon. It seems to be more about appreciating the music and hence less brouhaha - as people obviously take what is going on on a dancefloor into account when they appraise an evening. When has a full dancefloor meant it has been a pearler of a night?

I suppose dancefloors are peoples benchmark of how well a dj is doing to everyone watching - they polarise peoples attention one way, to the physical and not the auditory. No dancefloor - no way of judging - so no problem....maybe!?

NOVO

I have a copy of 'Captain Of My Shif' if that's any use mate?

I do like that idea. Pressure completely off
