Wiganer1 Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 what sort of stuff does he play ====== hi andy ultimately im a forgotten oldies man,,,a modern day Dave Evison... i do tend to get booked for oldies dos where usually get inundated with oldies requests so its difficult at times to play alternative stuff but if its in the box i play it if i get asked,im not complaining as it feels good to see people dancing to your tunes.. when i do get the chance to play what i like its a mixture of uptempo 60's and 70's oldies..if u see my posts in 'look in your box' its usually something ive read that was played in the 70's and ill buy it and if i thinks it good ill rave about it ill probably be playing it ,,until the next lot of 45s comes in!! i also play things that others would nt even dream of or believe shouldnt be played especially the old wigan stuff like 'wind - grooving with mr bloe' and 'salt and pepper' things ive reactivated in my own little way inlude:- little beaver - listen to my heartbeat henry boatwright - i can take or leave your loving - lost family - blow my mind - innovation peggy scott - you got it all - claude garbo - fox in a mini skirt - ric martin - i travelled the road - mgm little rose little - youve got the love- roulette one thing i am proud of is i never play the same spot over and over cuz basically i never know what im gonna play and just go with the flow.. im not everyones cup of tea but certainly individual lol regards mark
Sebastian Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 things ive reactivated in my own little way inlude:- claude garbo - fox in a mini skirt - What an absolute MONSTER of a tune! Their "Be Prepared" 45 on Castle is also superb.

Guest Dante Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) Chris Morgan... Ok, ok ok, I've never listened him DJing but it's a top bloke ( ) with a great taste CHeers Dante Edited January 25, 2007 by Dante
Sunnysoul Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Think Ady Pountain should be back on the scene and DJ-ing regularly rather than just making the very rare appearance now and then !!!
Guest vinylvixen Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Andy Faulkner - was resident at These Old Shoes for the last couple of months...a dark horse Peter Jay - superb dj and lovely bloke Nick Hackett - knows his onions.... Jo
Guest Simon Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Martin Thomson - Brilliant individual collection, passionate, always plays the right tempo, floorfillers with lots of imagination. Tony Smith - I've heard Tony playing not enough imo over the last 10 years from Mod dos like Mousetrap to the big NS dos in London, has tunes some of the djs that get regular weekly bookings could only dream about as with Martin plays records that fill floors but at the same time making it interesting. Steve Csordas - Never heard him play a bad spot, always gets the floor buzzing & can tailor his set depending on who he's playing to, totally passionate about the scene & always evolving the music. Andy Rix - Please someone bring him out of retirement, i've never heard anyone else play a set even similar to Andy, totally original, when he stopped playing the scene lost something big. Ian Clark - As above, played Detroit rarities that blew me away & that i've never heard since, awesome dj. Lastly but not least a local Bighton dj via Boston who along with Miles E, Marco S, & Mark E taught me NS in my early days - Paul Sutton - A brilliant dj who can work a dancefloor with consumate ease, a massive knowledge of Soul music & perfect taste. Always one step ahead of the game possibly too clued up for his own good sometimes, if he didn't move forward so quickly peeps would be swooning over stuff he used to play like The Constellations & Johnny Bartell when they were still cheap & not being played by anyone else, lots of the new standards that lazy djs are now playing week in week out Paul was playing when they were still imaginative & not in vogue. Promoters, book any of the above & you won't be disappointed imo. Simon
Bitchdj Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 ive got to go with pete lyster also..and me ole mucker jase bessant....and of course meeeeeee cookie
Makemvinyl Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Andy Rix - Please someone bring him out of retirement, i've never heard anyone else play a set even similar to Andy, totally original, when he stopped playing the scene lost something big.(quote) Would love Andy to join us somewhere in Lincs pm me Andy to try to sort something out Doug
Rugby Soul Club Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Andy Rix - Please someone bring him out of retirement, i've never heard anyone else play a set even similar to Andy, totally original, when he stopped playing the scene lost something big.(quote) Have tried enticing him, will have to try again..... If you're reading this Andy...pm me.....
Keithw Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 a couple of guys that i rate cliff steele----------superb x-over man,quality soulful dancers pete lowry--------detroit and monster tunes ---now retired it seems tony clarke-------great girl group northern fan from nottingham doesnt get the bookings unfortunatly will try to get these guys to square 1--once we build it up a bit more keith williams
Guest Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I'll echo Pete Lyster and Jason Bessant. Particularly fanciful of Mace - top man! Always had a soft spot for Steve Csordas too - excellent playlist every time. Ian from Taunton always puts together a fantastic set on the few occasions I've heard him play and everyone raves about him
Supercorsa Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Andy Faulkner - was resident at These Old Shoes for the last couple of months...a dark horse Does anyone know how Andy is, haven't seen him for ages? Brett Franklin should get more bookings, imo.

Ian from Taunton always puts together a fantastic set on the few occasions I've heard him play and everyone raves about him ========== i think every decent dj will have their day..sooner or later we are seeing alot of stalwarts leave or not do as many as they did which in turn is giving alot of new blood their chance... regards mark
Pete S Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Does anyone know how Andy is, haven't seen him for ages? Brett Franklin should get more bookings, imo. I've seen him very recently. Still ugly but now a clumsy f*cker as well Hello Andy
Guest Simon Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 I've seen him very recently. Still ugly but now a clumsy f*cker as well Hello Andy Top man is Andy, great dj & West Ham fan, doesn't get a lot better than that imo! Simon
Guest soul kitten Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) John Parker does a regular spot at York Soul Club but with the records he has should really be DJing more ,think he s done a spot at the Wilton not sure where else top bloke with top records Edited January 25, 2007 by soul kitten
Trev Thomas Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 John Parker does a regular spot at York Soul Club but with the records he has should really be DJing more ,think he s done a spot at the Wilton not sure where else top bloke with top records take it he's a leeds supporter then steve
Guest Jamie Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 a couple of guys that i rate... snip tony clarke-------great girl group northern fan from nottingham doesnt get the bookings unfortunatly will try to get these guys to square 1--once we build it up a bit more keith williams Maybe he's the wrong man? Sorry, you can't tee me up and not expect me to hit it! Never heard him play, but I'm sure he's the business Brett Franklin & Rich Buckley get my votes. I've heard these play for a good while and get it spot on for me. Yes they're my mates, but they play stuff I like! Jamie

Guest Polyvelts Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Tef. Brilliant cross section of sounds !!!!! Rob
Dave Thorley Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 Think Ady Pountain should be back on the scene and DJ-ing regularly rather than just making the very rare appearance now and then !!! Ady is going to be a regular at Soulshakers International
Guest Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 lots of my personal faves have already been mentioned (tony Smith, Tef, Ian Clark....), so I'll just add a couple more to the list Gaz Simon and Kev Cane - been collecting for an eternity and have accumulated some lovely tunes Baz Atkinson - though not always to my taste (too fast and stompery for me) knows how to fill the floor and has also got some cracking tunes and all three are on my "favourite people" list
Guest Simon Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 The Dalton Boys - I've Been Cheated - V.I.P Talking of the Dalton boys is 'Take my hand' unreleased or is it available on any format other than CD? Simon

Simon Just a snippet of the stuff he has, Im sure he has the imagination/ability to dig deep and produce some fine stuff rarely heard at soul nights..... Not wishing to start or get into the....... what you need to play/what you want to play debate as a dj
