Very nice send off for Toby yesterday.

Looking for The Alpacas on Double Take.

Needs to be good enough to DJ with as a minimum.

Thanks

Dave

I didn't know Toby that well, but a good bloke who always seemed to have time for me, will be missed.

Dave

Looking for either Rocky Gil or Willie Tee - don't have to be mint, but good enough to DJ with.

Thanks,

Dave

Looking for an original of The Apollas Mr Creator if anyone has one for sale?

Cheers,

Dave

Used to go out to the Big Thing weekenders in Valancia and Gandia, loved the Spanish crowd and Valencia itself. Madrid allnighter last year, another great crowd of mostly Spanish and an good city to visit. Rimini weekender before that and this year Hip City Soul Club weekender in Berlin. Have an Allnighter lined up to go to in Rome in December and really looking forward to it.

Thanks,

Dave

I've only been out and about the last 10 years but caught a whiff a couple of times (one quite recently that took the form of a very nasty comment behind a mates back but overheard by someone else) but at do's I would say had a strong scooterist attendance.

Dave

Ah - did it come out on US?  

Just listening to a much loved Solid Hit Soul CD with Jackie and Millie on it - I can't seem to find it in my manships and wondered if anyone had any information - probably way out of my price range.

Thanks

Dave

A crowd of us are going out to the Hip City weekender in Berlin and wondered if anyone could recommend any record shops worth visiting.

Oh apparently vintage markets and clothes as well.

Please no shoe or handbag shops lol

Thanks

Going back to Sweet Things, it is incredible that stomper s are too fast to play now. In fact they may clear some floors. That's what I went out to hear, faster the better when I was a youth. Get on some Dean Parrish or Bobby Paris and get yourself running to the floor.

The Sweet Things was played at the Kent Soul Club just before Christmas - seemed to pack the floor!

After an original copy to DJ with.

Cheers,

Dave

I don't  know about the past, but in London I would guess at leads 25% of people attending Northern Soul do's currently are Mod's or Scooterists, pretty much helping to keep them going.

Dave

Looking for a copy of Mel Williams 'Can it be Me' on Modern - doesnt need to be mint, but good enough to DJ with.

Thanks,

Dave

nice playlists mate

Thanks Grant

Had my say on the DJ spot debate but on the 'undercurrent' of HBoogaloo, I can only comment from personal experience;

I was at a weekender in Valencia a couple of years back, top quality UK DJ's - can't recall exactly but definitely Mick H and either John Parker, Marc Forrest (not UK I know) and Ady or Roger Banks maybe (I think the Willingham's were the year after). Anyway Henning also on the bill.

I distinctly remember first thinking 'what is he playing' but warming into his tunes and selections - a nice change, excellent sets that were different but somehow fitted - certainly held his own and caught the feel of the weekender well.

So for me, the tunes work even in the 'rarefied' atmosphere of top DJ's.

Dave (apologies for the hazy memories or which one was which - rather large measures out there don't you know).

You gave me a chance and that worked out pretty well, didn't it? ;)

Yes indeed mate and you didn't let us down (even with a hipster beard lol)!

 Ha ha, thought pretenders was best record listed!

Yes, only just picked one up and love it - guess I'll keep playing it until they break!

Well I would say start with attending an event regularly, get to know the promoter and then ask about a spot if you think you have the records to suit the event - definitely don't go once and ask about a spot.

If we you want to try events that you can't reach, go the polite e-mail and maybe list some of the tunes you like to play.

Some will help you and some won't for a variety of different reasons.
