Please note that these are estimates as different DJs who DJ in a local area will be cheaper than at the other end of the country, also over years of knowing each other sometimes you have a good night and over pay as you get in extra people, some DJs give 100% wages in the charity box at the end of the night, yes I've had that done a few time, others say just give me £20 to cover my petrol. I know of one well known DJ who DJed recently who traveled over 360 miles round trip for a 1 hour spot for £50 which he agreed before he went - why because he still has the buzz of djing and soul music. That's 6 hours traveling plus fuel for £50 - it's a hobby ? The actual fees that promotors pay I guess is that grey area - so without names: Top dogs 150 - 250 mid range 50 - 120 Troop DJs 30 - 40 Pub hobby spinners 10 - 20 Hobby DJS A few pints - don't care

So that's it 7 days is over nice poll

Look at the moon it's gone mad

had two of the grandchildren over last night both from different kids born 2 days apart - the wife just got some sleep , just to let you know I was fine lol Got a glow ball for the dog at night makes me laugh she runs down the Rd with almost a green headlight

Classic, how does that get through the producer unless he's stoned to bits he must realise it's off key not sounding right - nice one

Back in the 70ts there was only a handful of supermarkets however thinking in the same vein - if Lidls had been around would the slang name for this tune be "A Lidl bit hurts" https://youtu.be/GSZ4y0zzvUI

Trouble with hearing bits like this - every time you hear the record, your waiting for the tap to come in - bit like listening to Manifesto back in the 70ts we use to replace that word with "shop at tescos" now many years later in my head it's still programmed SHOP AT TESCOS

Why at 0:53 does a guy with a piece of scaffolding pole and a 6" bolt start banging away - he even misses the best - but hey he had fun https://youtu.be/mX_jb5Rbzpk

At 2:02 guys that's a bark https://youtu.be/mCV9dVDJHDI

Does anyone know the background on the shakers one wonderful moment when the dog barks ? lets face it they would have been in the studio, and someone said hey I got a great idea we can use a dog bark in the track ??

About 10 of us meet up each year on rebemberance day, and hit a few pubs in London, after out 6th pub we went to The Star near Buckingham Palace and as per usal there's a back ground tape / CD running with soft sounds on a loop, all of a sudden Beverly Ann you've got you're minds on other things comes on !! One of the closest pubs to Buckingham Palace " Northern Soul by Royal appointment ". Just a thought

times the giveaway if in doubt, am always amazed that people copy things, so how can they get the time wrong Boot is 2:01. Org is 2:35 - so where's the 34 seconds gone - the plot thickens ?

Pete, Was at LAX last week with two hours to kill, flicked through my iPad, plugged in the big boys headphones and was transported back to the Casino years, thanks for the sounds storming amphetamine driven, I can almost smell the sweat. Keep doing what your doing

Last week, Just brought the 63 split window corvette off of the Vice President of Capitol Records LA - when I asked him casually "have you ever heard of soul music called Northern Soul" he said no, but he did tell me a few stories of in the old days ?

We all look back at various milestones and memories in our life, when we got married, children, divorce, winning or loosing the FA cup , soul venues the list go on, how ever Brian started DJ,ing his proper full gig on Aug 7th 1965 - that's 50 years. Brian's enthusiasm back in the mid 70'S at the Casino was a major influence on me and I know thousands of others stomping away the night, gasping for air and chewing there necks off. A True Northern Soul Hero and effing Legend, long may he reign. Perterborough Soul Club

Soul man in a van - I think the name on the side was Ian Taken at about 7:40 this morning on the way to work - that's about as exciting it gets

Just for reference I use to work for a building company in south London in 1976 my weekly pay was £44

I heard it back in the day that when the DS closed va va's and the lights went on and they walked across the floor crushing pills that had been thrown the last record played was Lynne Randell

Dana Valery now available for sale for £7 – which was a fortune in 1974 Was that the pink pussycat one – think I brought that around 75 - still got it - somewhere
