none 576 Posted June 15, 2022 AKA Ed Battin I could not think of a better Venue, Crowd or Event than Tiffany’s to get back behind the wheels of steel. It’s a privilege to have been asked to be a guest DJ in July! I won’t go on about Tiffany’s soul club , it’s promotors aims or policy , other than saying to many that know me personally ( from a life in “ the rare soul scene “ in all its eras ) or by site attending event’s wherever they are !! You need to be there and be a part of an Experience and joy ! That is All about Soul , The crowd , the DJs , connecting through the music in that moment with an atmosphere that fuels our passion and thirst for Soul in our lives ! Special memories to those there at that moment in that place and no others !! Those who know will know !! A Bold statement and opinion Eh ! That I have to back up as Ed Battin the DJ with my choice of tunes when and how they’re played live on the night! No pressure then ! lol To justify the faith of the lads in booking me to DJ I’ll step out of my comfort zone and the shadows! lol With some background and Self promotion of Ed Battin the DJ ! To me DJing is a craft , learned with practice over time! Which I was blessed to begin in my early teens with guidance from one of my closest lifelong friends Martyn Ellis , ( a pain in the arse but ultimate Live DJ on our scene) since when I’ve played alongside most of who are often considered as the best among the rare/northern scenes over many years. Many becoming good friends through our shared passion for Soul ! No point in irrelevant Name Dropping lol but will say the respect is mutual and appreciated to this day! Some of the Clubs and events I be played as resident , regular or guest DJ include Tony’s Empress Ballroom and many other MYK events run by Mick n Scotty McGreggor Soultown All-nighters - Sheridans, Windsford Civic - in both rooms ( for my good mates Sam, Steve and Dave ). Bretby Country Club ( for my good mate Sam Moore ) New Century sc events for Chris & Marcel Llandudno All-nighters and Alldayers. Soulfeet All-nighters- starlight club Leister( as a resident for my mate Stuart with DJs you may know Guy , Keb , Dave , Davey and my baby soul sister Jane ! Prestatyn weekender ( for Andy and the soultown boys ) Niel Rushtons awesome Newquay Weekenders and Soulution events Edinburgh soul weekenders at the Minto with Zander , Soul Sam , Ginger , and many of the outstanding Scottish DJs of the highest calibre Penicuik Alldayers - Scotland and countless nights events and parties too many to list ! Often with misspelled or wrong name on fliers like Baltic Barton ( Tony’s fliers lol) , Batty etc. a source of amusement I never bothered to correct . Because as a DJ it’s about being up there playing the tunes connecting with the Crowd in a set that flows and builds on the dance floor to leave All wanting more from the next dj or next event ! It’s not about Collections or value of records ! As a great tune is heard as a great tune whether £5 or £ 5000 ! It’s about sharing our Love of Soul music- hearing- dancing for enjoyment, creating or recalling memories of great events and people ! Only known to those attending events feeling that buzz and pleasure Soul music brings to our lives ! Whether Friends who’ve heard me play and want more or those intrigued by my message - agreeing or not! Be there on the Night to hear feel and enjoy What I as a DJ and Tiffany’s Soul Club are all about !! Wow Bold Words !! and my first Self Promotion! Now I’d better Step up n Deliver! lol See You on the Dance floor !!! Cheers Ed Comments ,feedback and opinions ( good or bad ) welcome, but keep it civil ! 1
none 576 Posted June 15, 2022 Not an easy task going back. Trying to reinstate those long lost days. We are trying hard. Our DJ line-ups certainly attract characters not seen in quite a while. We do it differently. We are going to continue to do so.
none 576 Posted July 25, 2022 Really excited about this one. Messages from Sheffield Bolton and Darlington folk making the journey. Promises to be a cracker
Micksmix 2,647 Posted July 26, 2022 Hoping to make this one, really nice venue and a great line up! 1
