Do Big Name D.j's Really Attract The Crowds ?
Interesting debate this one - in short some 'Big Names' will attract a few more through the door (Ginger always gets them in to the Plinston for example) but the right combination of DJ's will attract bigger numbers. I've had some on that have killed the place and others that have stood in at the last minute and really got the place rocking! It's a minefield and a delicate balancing act to get the art of promotion right. That said I don't think Name DJ's are as essential as in the 70's/80's as people now, as Winnie stated, tend to go where their mates are going on the whole. Also, with the wealth of CD's etc available, travelling 100's of miles to hear exclusive tracks you cant hear anywhere else doesn't really happen that much these days (unless your travelling to see Butch or Soul Sam) For me people like Hammie, Molly, Taffy, Lenny D, Fingers play blinding sets and yet are not considered, on the whole, to be Names. Hence the reason why I will be featuring more of them at the Plinston nextv year. At the end of the day, as I always drone on about, it's the MUSIC that is paramount, everything else is window dressing

OOOOH! Forgot Ray Oddis 'Happy Ghoul Time' and 'Randy the Newpaper Boy'- Four Vandals
For my sins I like 'Wrong Side Of Town' despite Mr Levine's finger prints all over it. It's just a pity we had all the very dubious and silly games played over it by certain people who should know better!!! That said, ceratin people should also be gratful Mrs Osbournes not a northern Soul fan - can you imagine what she'd have done with them and their....you get the picture- Lighthearted
Lonnie Hill - Top Toon and one I got some 5 years ago from Mr Soul Bowl after hunting for a lifetime!!! What about the wonderful names Artie Fullilove & the Lovejoys - Santa Claus Please Listen To Me. Great lyrics and one I used to spin at many a local soul nite Xmas Do. Or The Invitations and 'Skinhead In The Snow' (as a very strange and rather drunk man once asked me for )- Murder On The Dancefloor?
As you know Winnie, you and I are as one on this and we can often be found at the back of the Plinston dealing out swift justice to those that partake of the powdering of floors, only to then walk off and leave us to tip-toe through dance moves!!!! Some floors do need talc to shuffle on etc but in the main (halls) most do not so please stop doing it!- New Photo Book

Sod you Janine, you get in everywhere!!! Any of the Plinston?- Ozzie Sands (edwin Starr) - Price Of Pain
Johnny, see the diet is working wonders for you!!!!- Wigan
I find that it doesn't matter what record I end with, it always get a huge amount of clapping going, and cheering as well, strangely just as I am finishing and walking off the stage?!? Hang on a minute....- Value Please
I have the full vocal on my laptop that I recorded before I sold it on Mike. Can mail it to anyone who wants to have it on theirs- Soundbyte Required
