Which Dj's From The Past Would Be Great Today?

was that intro the one with ' a little bit hurt' intro at the beginning?

Yes, that was the one - although we shudder at it today, those that came onto the scene post-Casino will never quite grasp the effect that it had on the crowd. However, we're all that much more sophisticated now, aren't we?

And Jo, I'll be co-founder of the Clarkie Liberation Army with you - there are still a lot of people who'd love to see Ian, Tony Ellis and Greety on the same dj roster just once more...

Nev Wherry was a regular dj at Cleethorpes Winter Gardens in the late 70's. As for his collection, I have an old auction list for part of his collection with some very tasty UK items on there.

Derek Sheldon used to do some cracking spots in the 70's, 700 through the door on a wednesday night at Rotherham's Assembly Rooms....

Oh blimey yeah, what a pair, how awful that I'd forgotten about those two performing together. Not heard anything about them for a long time. They used to make me chuckle

yeah, the blind leading the clinically insane

Late entry to this topic I know .....I understand exactly what you are asking Shane! Should I be afraid that I may be on your wavelength?!!!

In answer to your questions, without a doubt Mr Gaz Kellet was so ahead of his time, a man with impeccable taste in music and the courage of his convictions. I am sure that there are many who would love to see him back up there! Added to this the gorgeous, hilarious Dave Molloy, also with impeccable musical taste and the most fantastic sense of humour!

These two really are amongst the wonderful characters of the scene and when they did a spot together it was a hard act for anyone to follow in more ways than one!

I know that someone else has aready mentioned them but not enough of you have!

The three stooges tried & failed
