Bo Diddley 595 Posted October 17 I've had the following update from Kev S: - Just over a week to Lea Manor The Renaissance and things are all coming together. All the DJs are confirmed and ready. We're looking forward to catching up with Ted Massey, and Andy Dennison, and listening to what they have to bring to the decks for your enjoyment. Listened to Natalie Nicholls, a few times of late and she always brings something different. Mr + Mrs Wood, its been a while, but always a pleasure to catch up and listen to you both, be great to have you both back behind the decks.. You can still take advantage of the £7.00 advanced purchase. It's £8 on the night. Fantastic dance floor and sound system as usual at this fantastic, smart venue. Regards, the Renaissance Team Link to comment

TIA Hi, thanks for considering our event. With regard to music policy, the intention is for the Djs selected to play a WIDE range of styles. This is in the "spirit" of Lea Manor. So, there will be "Rare and Under Played" 60's tunes. I'm sure all the DJs, and particularly Andy Dennison Ted Massey @Ted Massey have the experience and records to fit the bill. A few "Oldies" may be played, but not the tired, "same old, same old". So, it's "Yes" to Crossover, 60's, Rare and "Rarely Played" and loads of other categories. But it wont be a night full of oldies. Kev Spittle records the sets "live" and posts them on his Mixcloud account. Most of the DJ sets to date have been posted which you can check out. Feel free to give my set from March a pass as I did include more oldies, but this was just get things going!! Here's Arthur Fenn's set from March 2024 Edited October 23 by Bo Diddley Link to comment

Smart and clean with an "in-house" speaker system. Also, the venue provide a Sound Engineer. He sits at the back with a mixing desk to keep things as they should be. Here's a photo of things being set up prior to opening time. Edited October 21 by Bo Diddley Link to comment
