Went to my local soul do this evening.

In the bogs I asked a mate who is (or was) a serious collector/DJ, if he had got something nice, record wise, from Santa?

Jeeze! I'd walked into a right argument over boots being played!

One DJ had resigned from doing further do's cos someone on the night had done the dreaded deed.

I got my head chewed off for asking a simple, if not naive, question! Can't remmember what it was now.

Spent some time with 'pissed off' mate/collector/DJ at the bar. Learnt loads. But to his annoyance the dance floor was full for the guy (allegedly) playing boots.

More questions by me to said mate about what should and shouldn't be played kept producing the response "It's a minefield out there" (we had both had a good drink).

This guy knows his stuff and has just sold £15,000 worth of records because he's disillusioned by the whole thing!!!!

Not sure of the point that I was going to make now cos I'm pissed!!

Just thought that I'd share my NS experience of the night.

Feck. I'm gonna be in trouble with The Gary Glitter fan in the morning.

Wishing you all a very drunken rest of the week and a very, very drunken and happy New Year.

All the best.

KTF.

My advice is to purchase a copy of "Is it me or is everything shit?" Time Warner Books £9.99

Should put things in perspective & its a cracking read.

maybe he should buy records he wants to listen to rather than just to DJ with or have as trophies?

Even nearer mate.

The Rat Pit, Bredbury.

Have to honest even though the dance floor at the Rat Pit is bigger I prefer Denton as I think the acoustics at The Rat Pit don't do the records justice.

Ignore the post from the early hours of this morning; the ramblings of a drunken man.

All the best John.

Drew,

Didn't realise the Rat Pit was on this week, cheers for that. Having said that I thought that all the DJs played originals, I know for a fact Dave Stubbs does'nt. Anyway will we see you at denton this Friday then?

Cheers John

Sorry Drew and anyone else, Dave Stubbs doesn't play anything but original's UK if poss.. Made it sound like he only played boots.
