There is another calculation possible. Take away the ones that put the playlists up-with label info- from those that don't == Salmon's doing nowt- I'll leave it to him Tony

Both the same Stable of labels though aren't they ?? tony

That Silky Hargraves must have been a good seller, almost every copy I've seen( inc. mine) is battered... Fantastic tune but. Tony

Quick reminder, Next one a big'un Tony

That's you and me both (plus another coupla thousand) then Tony

Takes me a long time to be all over anything.. Any way, it's from £2.50 to 3 quid in my case Tony

No Deal T

Not bad, except, I can't get that bloody pop song outta me head.... Tony

Well I've got a calculator, subtract the ones that do from the ones that don't reply-simples BTW Heywood Civic Soul = OVO. Tony

Should I lower the parapet ?? Not many heads raised above it. Or perhaps wait til next weekend ..?? T

Which is exactly the reason there were 92 do's this weekend. I refuse to believe that they were all playing originals. The fact that any one can buy virtually any record and play it out is what is gonna kill this scene. I am fed up to the back teeth of wannabe Dancefloor Diva's telling me that they can't afford to buy the originals. Tough Sh*t-neither can I, but i can afford to buy some good ORIGINALS. Like I've said before if you run a night and you want a Classic oldies night, employ the DJ's that have got 'em!!! there's plenty out there. The Music used to special, you had to travel to hear it. Now, sadly, it's just another commodity.And ther is little or no reason to get off yer Sofa and track it down if any fecker can play it for you at the end of the Street. If you get it, you get it. If you don't....... ATB Tony

Right, can read it now T

Right then, that's it, the weekend's (nearly ) over. Anybody honest enough to tell us how they did ?? Tony

Me, Ste, Pat and the barstaff enjoyed 'em mate Just messed me box up for Pauls tonight I ithink I played Betty Everett The Lovables The Thrills The Vipers Earl Wright Dramatics Dynamites and a couple more ATB Tony

Fair enough, I was just answering the bit asking was I sure ATB Tony

Absolutely, positively sure. To Whit Heywood Bradford EBUC Burscough B. L. are three that spring immediately to mind.. Apologies to any I've missed, but these are probably the ones I go to on a regular basis, for reasonds that should be obvious. Regards Tony

No it isn't. All Soul Nights are not the same, there are plenty-Up here any way, that have OVO policies. ATB Tony

It's all about balance I suppose. One Couple to hold the othe one up after the spins T

And, you also are right, to a point. The "Brand Leading" events-Allnighters-Weekenders- whatever will always be well attended as trophy events, another badge to stitch on your bag, but as time and MONEY is limited the knock on effect will be felt, as people will have to sacrifice either the week end before and or the one after the big do to pay for the same. ATB Tony

Forgive me if I misunderstand-this implies that there are promoters putting on Multiple nights per month. Surely Not T

Do you mean places playing Some you know, Some you don't, Some forgotten Oldies Some Classics, on OVO ????? Say, a bit like HEYWOOD, perhaps. Tony

:shhh: There's a reason this is an "underground " scene y'know. T

I like this. In fact, it's such a great idea, I'm thinking of opening one 5 minutes down the road, of course, this wont affect yours ATB Tony

Alternatively, could I recommend somebody to Nut the presenter ?? T
