Billy Back in the early 70s, probably about 73/74ish Patti Swallow owned and DJd at the Orbit in Rhyl and probably had one of the best collections of the day, so female DJs have been around as long as I can remember so it's nothing new and it is great that there are more and more great female DJs out there doing their stuff QoFxx

Also, congratulations on creating the worlds longest sentence. =========== This really made me laugh, I think you have a future as punctuation monitor Billy their viewpoint has nothing to do with being a soulie, its to do with being a little on the neanderthal man side Its clearly an outdated premise that only men can fill a floor, won't name the female DJs I think can, cos Jo told me off last time for forgetting some, but there are quite a few. Winnie:-)

Winnie:-) As if I'd tell you off, Winnie Sadly Billy, your mates are right in one sense and wrong in another - the answer is a bit yeah but no but yeah but.... They should've got out more back in the day or done some more research... ..Val Palmer was on the decks at the 100 Club approx 20 years ago....but yes, it is still predominantly male but no, the djs who are female are EQUALLY good as their male counterparts and mash up the dancehall...and yes, give it another 5-10 years, there will be more girlies giving it large as there are excellent female dj role models around. To be fair, Billy, your mates should also remember that social attitudes have changed...I can't think why any women, 25-20 years ago would've wanted to get on the decks looking back at the male djs then - it wasn't an attractive look, the 7Ts/ 8Ts But I remember asking one girl in the 7Ts why she didn't give it a whirl and her answer was...'my boyfriend wouldn't allow me'... I'm glad it's 2006. Jo

Epic Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 On a Technics 1200 when playing a 7 inch single have you noticed the receptical for the aluminum centre fits a female DJs lip gloss or eyeshadow almost perfectly.

Aluminium? Aluminium Dear chap, precision milled solid brass centres - if you don't mind and anyway, my leopardskin record box with a mirror in the lid is FAR better for keeping lip gloss in - as well as all my top billy bollocks tunes Jo sweet baby jesus here we go again ....it doesn't matter a monkeys arse what sex,religion, or colour the person playing the records are as long as they are good ... Dave, your voice of reason prevails...NOW can we talk about monkeys arses, please Jo

Zed1 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Been around the scene for some 30+ years, done all the 'Venue's', both old and new, and seen some some great DJs......... Yet the best spot I have heard since RS as Wigan was at a catholic school in Wigan earlier this year by a 'Girlie' DJ.... she was not afraid to play some of the lesser known stuff, both old and new, and her playlist was by no means 'Safe'....... No names, but some of you might know her as the best dancer in the UK!!
Guest vinylvixen Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 (edited) Epic said....milling v turning.... WHATEVER..milled/ turned - like I did metalwork at school coz we was all girls - another blatant case of inequality.... ..but my solid centres are still the dog cajones so ner.........

Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 there's not many female DJ's round here and i can only recall in last few years 1 female dj i seen play. rest all being male. Any chance of seeing some nice females would do me maybe if any was single i wouldn't mind getting to know them

Also, congratulations on creating the worlds longest sentence. Actually Sean, the worlds longest sentence appears in "Who The Hells Frank Wilson", which is advertised as a "book" It has about twenty five chapters with no more than two sentences (very long) in each chapter. You get breathless reading it No chapter contains more than one comma and two full stops. But apparently its a "riveting read" ================ Wrong forum Paul Been on Google ?
