Real meaning ----I`ve been dying to play this for ages and even if it doesn`t go down well don`t really matter cause I`m such a kind hearted soul I`ve played it for you.So it`s your fault nobody likes it------Absolutely had me in stitches,cause I`ve said that on the odd occasion.So come on soulies I`d love to hear whether it`s your own wisdom or somebodys elses,remember it`s not a witch hunt just a bit of a laugh. best Andy
Guest James Trouble Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) "Next up is .........., bringing back the memories. And it goes somthing like this..." Well does it go like it or not? Is it only somthing like the record you are about to play or is it the actual record? FAAAACK!!!!! Edited January 12, 2006 by James Trouble
Guest Dodger Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 The worst thing I hear DJ's say is . . . "Thanks to (*name*), you've got me for the next hour". Always well thought out and original!! Must admit I've used the 'request' thing when I've played overplayed tunes to try and revive a thinning out floor Not that it happens too often you understand!!
Guest Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) The Mighty BUB (RIP) was the craziest dj ever to grace our glorious scene he used to make people laugh as much with his comments as with his language!!! i.e. get on the floor you lazy set of B*****S Edited January 12, 2006 by OoooRICKoooO

Guest in town Mikey Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Gerry Hippo Hipkiss, the Soul Sourcer himself at the Bristol Hotel, Gloucester early 80s. 'Will the people who keep requesting pop records, please proceed to Westgate Street where there is a disco called the ace of clubs. This is a Northern Soul night, and this next record is Northern Soul. Consider yourself told boys.

Baz Ryley[RIP] @ Leighton Buzzard after playing The Skullsnap's My Hang Up Is You said "That One's From The Goverment Leave Artificial Additives Alone"....& another from Baz was.... " Stomp You Bassterds".... Jon Buck
Guest Baz Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 'If you dont move to this you must be dead' a vein attempt at getting people to dance when the DJ is playing to an empty floor And one i've herd over and over again, 'yes its the rarest record in the world .........Frank Wilson'
Geoff Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I'll use some of these on Friday night at Blue Skies, LOL.
Rugby Soul Club Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 The Mighty BUB (RIP) was the craziest dj ever to grace our glorious scene he used to make people laugh as much with his comments as with his language!!! i.e. get on the floor you lazy set of B*****S Spot on, he was sooooooo funny. I remember him at an all-dayer in Yorkshire saying over the mike. I can't believe they fill me full of alcohol and pay me to do what I love doing....playing my f...king records....well missed.
Guest Dodger Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Or when a DJ says 'First play anywhere', especially when it's a 70s/80s tune they've just discovered!!
Simsy Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Year's ago at the Carwash (I think) Sunday evening, after their disco bash our northern night started. A goodly number of disco bods had hung back and were either kind of taking the pish, or were primed to take the p. Keb was dj'ing at the time and in his own inimitable manner proclaimed "If you don't like soul music ... fcuk off"!
Steve G Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Or when a DJ says 'First play anywhere', especially when it's a 70s/80s tune they've just discovered!! Fac'inell Dodge - you actually been listening to my spots after all then
Kev Connellan Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 one of the most upsetting things I've heard a DJ say: "last orders at the bar"
Steve G Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 The one I always love (so apologies to those that have heard it before) is Sam at Burnle All Dayer c 1983. "Next up Walter Jackson and "Touching in the dark" - dedicated especially to all the miners in here".
Kev Connellan Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 "Next up Walter Jackson and "Touching in the dark" - dedicated especially to all the miners in here". Quality!!

sister dawn Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 WOO HOOO....... after every record finished and half way through the chuffing muppet, never again. Also another one that takes the vinyl off if the dance floor is empty and says "ya didn't like that one then"
Russoul1 Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 i remember djin at a northern event which i wont name last year things were goin well enjoying myself when; some guy comes upto me and asks if i had any "middle of the road" in amazement and quick thinking i said over the mike; "a guy has just asked for some middle of the road sorry dont have "churpy churpy cheep cheep" didnt realise it was that kind of night!!!!" the guy wasnt impressed, but i thought it was funny happy soulin
Guest Dodger Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Fac'inell Dodge - you actually been listening to my spots after all then Funniest example I had in mind was Sam when he "discovered" OC Smith 'I'm Glad I Fell In Love With You' at Yahhmuff back in 1999 I think it was!! There was four of us in a group listening to Sammy's usual entertaining enthusiastic 100mph 'You'll love this, this is great, this is fantastic, you must dance to this, first play anywhere' preamble and when he played the track we just looked at each other and burst out laughing because I think everyone in the hotel that weekend knew it!! He did actually say that, but in fairness he probably meant his own personal first play of the track but things are never quite as funny if you don't twist the truth round a little bit!!
Rbman Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 Dave Thorley at the second to last RSG came on after Carl F and said.... "If you have any request , then keep 'em to yourselves".............

Guest Dodger Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 When people used to ask for requests, a mate of mine would put his hand in his pocket and pull out a pound coin, give it to them and say 'If you want requests, f**k off to the pub over the road and put some money in the juke box'!!

He told me that before he put each record on the deck, he'd grab it by the middle and outer edge and give it a quick buff on his gut. It's a trick I've perfected myself in my more rotund years Best thing he told me was after the Tracky had finished, everyone used to pile into my Dad's wagon in the Car Park and drive over to Cleggy. (He used to sell Fruit & Veg on the Markets at Thirsk, Whitby etc and had a big Green Ford D series curtainsider) Bub always sat up front with Pops, and he said he used to 'Morph' into the shape of the cab and fill all the gap to the windscreen with his head bobbing about on top! My Uncle Mick once got into the cab between them on the way back from Cleggy, and started to fall asleep. Bub shouted "Ere, Lad, get the heead on ere (patting gut), best pilla tha'll eva have" Uncle Mick declined politely

Hammy Why did he play that - has he not got a copy of Hun's Review 'Dont Make Me Love You on Sorro. Apolgies couldn't resist a scottish football gag.

OK I said and put on the Vondells. The woman who had asked for "something fast" didn't dance so I couldn't resist saying "I played that because I was asked to play something fast I didn't realise she meant to ask me to 'play something I know' " I did feel bad about that but only for a second or so
Markw Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 When I used to do the Chesham Elgiva Hall nights, a girlie kept asking for 60s pop tunes. She came and asked for the Crazy World of Arthur Brown, "Fire". So the I introduced the next record " I am the god of hellfire and I bring you Fireman, Vala Regan"..........................I'll get me coat
Guest Rowly Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Andy BB's "top tip" atthe end of his 100club debut last month made me grin..... "and if you're gonna dj at the best soul club in the world, it's probably best not to do a whole gram of MDMA before hand....!"

Guest Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I once played a record at Blackburn allnighter covered up as the Heamorroids...told eveyone that Soul Bowl had piles of em, this bloke then came up and asked me if i had a tel # for Soul Bowl At the Peterboro 30th reunion last year I attempted to introduce Dooley Sliverspoon -Game Players...I was so pissed I couldn't say it (it has been taped) For some bizzare reason I introduced Hold back the night at Chris Kings 40th as THE TRUMPS!!!! Once played a record at Buzzard covered up as The Wellingtons told the crowd after that it was deffo not a boot...wooooooooooooosh. P'Boro humour I guess, I'll get my coat.
