Karl Rhodes A Spirit Of Lowton Special Two Rooms

Well done Baz, this will be a top night for a top bloke.

I'll never forget the journey to The Embankment club, Wellingborough with Karl and Robbo it was like

having Cheech & Chong in the car. What a laugh.

Karl gave me this record just before I went to dj in the DDA room,I tried to pay him but he wouldn't take

any money for it. He was one of the best and sadly missed.

Here's the record

Great story, I can see it now and a great record, definitely a 'Karl' sound

Joan, fab tunes & Vimto smiley face, I'm thinking that's not your normal fruity soft drink.

Probably similar to the Milk Plus the Droogs drank at the Korova bar in A Clockwork Orange. lol

Hey Bob, nooooo nothing like that haha. Really looking forward to Saturday, will be so nice to see everyone and there will be plenty of stories told and memories shared no doubt x

Here's a tune that could get a spin in both rooms during Saturday's proceedings as it's finding favour with both the rare and modern soul crowds

Definitely 

Few more tunes we can expect on Saturday but just scratching the surface looking at the DJ rosta

And this...

Dark horse Maleedy - the cross-over and modern DJ hits a home run with some class 60s rarities, who knew?

I did  

One of Karl's recommendations and a fitting track for tonight and the day....Always in our thoughts

Really sorry i can't be there. Living in France makes it a hard one to get to. 

We really did have some immense times together (and a lot of laughter as you say Joan) in that very special back room and the music was always top! The guests and those who supported us made it truly magical and the Vimto really added a unique twist . I had many adventures 'lost in space' with Karl and enjoyed them all!

Have a great day and night remembering him, he was a good mate and helped me out on many occasions beyond the DDA room, for which i will always be grateful. 

Arrived and great new venue. Only 45 mins in and getting busy.
