  1. You're twisting what I said there James . However, several of his early Motorcity recordings (And whatever the label was before Motorcity) were accepted onto the scene without any hassle whatsoever, but of course you aren't old enough to remember those days are you James
  2. Perhaps if you told people which shop it is you manage Geoff, and where it is, they may well travel to you to buy it
  3. Sorry Steve, that is completely inaccurate. Ian Levine paid no attention to the Northern scene for years, and only returned, in much the same way he returned to SS, when he had something to sell. Nothing essentially wrong in that, but please don't say he has always been committed to the scene when he patently hasn't
  4. I'm sure I've seen reference to a Greek release of Frank Beverley somewhere
  5. He also subscribed to Soulful Kinda Music for a good few issues.
  6. Let's turn it round again How do you know he only played one Soul 45 ? Were you listening.............
  7. If you were a DJ on Radio 2, what sort of music would you play ? I know what I'd want to play.
  8. Given the week I've had, how much would you pay ?
  9. Pete's right, if you read SS like I do all there ever seems to be in New Content are sales posts. Is there a way of filtering which sections appear in New Content. That way I can take sales out, and when I've got some money can go directly to the sales section. I know it can be done because the Freebasing area has sections that don't appear, but is it a Mod only function or can anyone do it ?
  10. No no no no no no no no Repeat after me....."Dave Rimmer is not responsible for John Weston"
  11. I remember that one as well, and yes like you Pete I was on the floor laughing. The reg numbers were nothing to do with me at all though. I have a whole host of Johnny Weston stories, but it would be unfair of me to pick on him that way, so here's one at my expense. Years ago at one of the Bretby niters I was asked if I planned my spot, and I rather blithely answered "No I just play whatever comes to hand, I'd play the spoons if I had any". A month later, just after I started my spot someone appeared with a plastic spoon and asked me to play it, then another one, then another, and another. Eventually people stopped coming up with spoons, they had knives, and forks, and even serviettes. By the end of my spot I must have had nearly sixty plastic utensils and serviettes and was helpless with laughter. Well done to Gaye Kidson for setting it all up. I love the ones like that where a bit of planning goes into it
  12. Here's the review I did when it was first publihed Paul McDonald - Do I Love You ? - Tindal Street Press - ISBN 978 0 9551384 8 5 - 2008 What a fabulous novel this is. Written by someone who has obviously been on the scene at some stage, but in a style of humour that made me laugh out loud on several occasions. Basically it revolves around a returnee to the scene and all his new found enthusiasm and the disasters that beset him over the course of a few weeks. The way the book pokes gentle fun at the ridiculous things we all do, and think they are normal, is wonderfully constructed though, and I'd recommend this as one of the best £7.99 you could spend on a book in this day and age. I would assume this will be available from the publishers direct at https://www.tindalstreet.org.uk/
  13. I remember that night . It was when Chris Anderton was running Bretby, so it shows how long ago it was. What made it worse was Donald's car was one of those old estate cars with the wooden frame, and when we got out there was spew all down both sides out it. We dropped you off somewhere in Brum and you staggered off into the night. Don't think I''ve seen you since. Did you get home ok ?
  14. I doubt it, he's dead. In fact he's been dead since 23rd November 1995
  15. And if you are really smart you could use one of the free trials and then extract the data fields and load it into MS access, hence no need to pay for a registered version
  16. OMG Haven't heard that in years. Is it in refosoul ?
  17. Virtually never, and four figures easily
  18. www.soulfulkindamusic.net At least one of them there
  19. Hiya Shifty, Might help if you gave the website address
  20. They are now. Andy only sent them to me yesterday
  21. All the niter dates I know about are in the planner Mark /Allnigh...010-t64425.html
