I was just thinking this morning about the first time I heard Butch DJ. I was still living at home so I would have been about 20 or so.
I wrote down in my little notebook the Del Larks, G. Davis/R. Tyler and the Just Brothers. Happy days.
Dave surely you can't say I don't go out to have fun?
How can you call choosing to not play something that has already been played a rule?
I would not go on after you and play stuff that you had played.
Why? Not because that is 'the rule' as you put it but just because it had already been played and therefore I would play something else.
Nothing sinister. Nothing to do with rules. Just that it had already been played.
Yes but those records were 'new' Dave. Plus they were usually played in the same set by the same DJ!
Chances are the record that was asked for was not.
For what its worth I would not play a record if it had already been played.
Maybe the topic starter should wait and ask one of the later DJs to play it next time. Chances are they would not have been there to hear the early spots
I could never forget Scotland Andy!
Without doubt some of the best nights I have ever had on this scene were with you guys.
If I had the chance to relive one allnighter again - without doubt it would be Shotts!
It would bother me and I am just a punter!
You would be bang out of order for playing it! Not sure if that would bother you though.
Kitch also has a copy.
What do you consider your acetate of Mello Souls to be?
With Ernestine Eady on the other side I would say it is as far from an original acetate as you can get.
Why the attitude?
You said - and I quote - "Anything else check my blogg for more 45´s you can also have a listen at the Ujima for sale there"
That sounds like it is up for sale to me. Hence why I asked about prices and why I asked if it was an auction.
I think he is referring to the fact that your post is a little hard to read.
How can anyone decide what they are going to play in advance?
Every night is different and as such each spot should decided when you get up there.
What if a DJ before you plays one of your tunes? Do you get your blade out?
Sorry but no he doesn't.
He has about a hundred record tops and the extent of his knowledge is Joy Lovejoy etc. He still loves R&B and soul but was never really into Northern.
I know this because he was the fellow of my course when I was at university and I asked him.
So what is the difference between saying thank you in person or on here afterwards? Apart from one being public of course.
Surely saying thank you at all makes you desperate in some peoples eyes.
Saying thank you in my eyes is just good manners and no big deal. I always say thank you for asking me in a lookback where I have DJ'd and I certainly am not desperate to DJ.
Once again I am just glad I go out to have fun (even though that is not strictly allowed)
