    Well said. I've never understood why a record, made by a fat, white, German guy, last year, suddenly started getting plays on the Rare Soul scene

    Truth is stranger than fiction, the person responsible for this recording has been to Bilston many times and is wasn't me before people start adding two and two together and coming up with five

    What an absolutely fabulous couple of days this was. I'd never been to Ireland before, but everything I had heard about the hospitality of the Irish is absolutely true. Big thanks to Liam and Phil for looking after me, and all the other DJs so well. Saturday night was held in two rooms, and after a little bit of consternation because the decks in the freestyle room were jumping when people danced we got it all sorted. Both rooms were busy at various times of the night, as well as the bar area, and I know that the DJs between them covered the whole lot from R & B, to Oldies, to rarities, to unknowns, to Crossover, with a few Seventies thrown in as well. On the Saturday the two spots I did were crowd pleasers rather than anything else, and although I intended to do an R & B spot in the Freestyle Room a camera crew were there from Irish TV so Liam asked me to play some uptempo Oldies to fill the room and get them dancing (No flies on this lad when it comes to promotion ) The Main room spot on Saturday got the floor really busy, and I even coped with having the lights turned on three records in (I just ignored it, and decided if people kept dancing I'd keep playing records, eventually that was sorted and the lights went off again, which in a way was perhaps a bad thing because Liam couldn't see where he was dropping his bag and managed to knock all the sound off later in the spot :whistling: ) The Sunday all dayer was supposed to be a bit more laid back, and certainly that's how Phil Shields and I started the session off, however by the time I did my second spot people were dancing away and requesting uptempo things, so I threw a real mixture in. Unfortunately I had to leave for my flight half an hour after my spot finished so don't know how the last three hours went, but I'd just like to say thanks to all the people who came and spoke to me on the way out, it's nice to know that the records you've played have been appreciated. In the words of Jimmy Wallace 'I'll Be Back' The playlists are alphabetical rather than in the order I played them, I had enough trouble remembering what I played in each spot, never mind in what order !

    No point mate, I have none left, Bee Cool have none left, it completely sold out. You occasionally see a copy gop through Ebay, but it's been probably six months since I last saw one.

    Bretby was always a good laugh, and the things I remember most are the funny things. As I said I attended nearly all of the Soul nights run by Chris, so a couple of stories from those days: One month John ***** arranged a lift with ****** from Wolverhampton, and ******* was driving what I can only describe as an old shooting brake car, you know the type with the wooden trim down the sides. We picked up a lad called Garry ***** in Brum and off we went. a good night was had by all, especially Gary who was absolutely pissed out of his mind at the end of the night.. Half way back he decides he's going to be sick, opens the window and lets loose a stream of regurgitated beer and vomit, which sprays nicely down both the windows and side of the car behind him. The smell makes John ****** feel sick, so he winds his window on the opposite side of the car down, in the back, and decorates the other side of the car. I can still just imagine the look on the faces of ******'s neighbours on the Sunday morning, when they see his car, plastered in vomit, not just one side but both sides My other memory was of Mad Mick DJing at the very beginning of one of the alldayers. There were a couple of record dealers and Chris in the room, but Mick was announcing every record over the mike with a big build up. We were howling with laughter, but Mick was thoroughly enjoying himself and didn't give a shit that there was nobody in the room. When Chris King and Dave Thorley ran the venue, I used to come with Ken Parkes who supplied the equipment, and my memories of those days were about the pot of tea that we all sat down to after the nighter finished, and we had loaded all the equipment in the van. I also remember the night the wedding was on. Another one was when Wilko from Nott's set me up. He had been talking to this lad who neither of us knew, and the lad came over to me and the conversation went something like this: Lad "I've been talking to your son over there" (Bearing in mind that Wilko is ten years older than me, but he'd said go and talk to my dad over there) "He says you've come on the train" Me "Yes I have" Lad "I've got a train ticket" At this point I realised the lad wasn't the full ticket, never mind a train ticket. Lad "Would you like to see it ?" At this point i could see Wilko sitting on the floor absolutely crying with laughter !!! And so it went on, and on, and on. Do you think I could get rid of this nutter ?? Could I fcuk !! From Sam Moore's days, We had been talking about planning DJ spots the month before, and I'd said I never plan a spot I just open the box and play whatever comes up, I also said I'd play the spoons if I had to. Gaye and Col Kidson had heard this, and as soon as I started DJing, people, including people who I didn't know, started arriving at the decks with plastic spoons asking if I'd play them. it didn't end there though, when they ran out of spoons i got knives, forks, serviettes, you name it !! Reading it all back, they don't seem as funny as they were, but that's the medium of the written word I'm afraid. Also you had to be there as well. I had some great times at the club though, and on the last night never paid a penny for beer, because the nice lady who ran the place, and answered to the name of twat, but that's another story in itself, just kept giving me free pints.

    Chris Anderton said........ "Ahhhhh Mr Rimmer, the guest that never was! I had actually booked Dave for September 95 but as i decided it was to be the last event i wanted a cast of DJs who had served the venue well over the previous 4 years...so i asked Dave to step aside and Steve, Gilly, etc stepped in... He has never let me forget that, even to this day...but you need to remember he was`nt the "massive" name he is now..." What you actually said Chris, was would I step aside for Steve Smith who was coming back from Germany as he was one of the original residents and you really wanted him on the line up. Being the kind natured, considerate, gentleman that I am I stood aside happily. Steve Smith never turned up I think I only missed about three of the Bretby's run by Chris, probably none of the niters run by Dave and Chris (Does anyone else remember that one where all the record dealers were in a tent outside with a gas powered heater making so much noise and throwing out so many fumes it nearlt killed everyone ) Didn't attend any niters run by Pep (Although I heard that nobody else did either !), and was then made a resident DJ during Sam Moore's reign. Chris Anderton did actually get round to booking me once though, for his 30th Birthday party at Bretby.

    Definitely wasn't a member. Sheppards Discocraphy including line ups
  17. Dave Rimmer
    These were available at Cheltenham last night, and a damn sight cheaper than the £25 this guy is flogging them for on Ebay.
  18. Dave Rimmer
    Definitely not the same Tokays.

    Just found it on Amazon.co.uk marketplace for £6.50

    There were a couple of compilations came out on Contempo called 'Soul Deep Vol 1' and 'Soul Deep Vol 2'. Vol 1 was released in 1974, and for the life of me I can't find my copy of Vol 2 at the moment, but would have been around 1975/6. Obviously vinyl only, and probably extremely hard to find nowadays.....but it's something to keep you looking.

    And in a piece of shameless self promotion I'd just like to remind all readers that Issue 67 of Soulful Kinda music is available now. I edit it, I put it together, I sell most of the copies, and I write most, but not all, of the articles. So if you want to buy a mag that is almost entirely done by me as an act of self promotion (after all I've been doing it 17 years now, so you'd have thought I'd have been promoted to at least a general or something by now), PM me for details. ps It will also be on sale at the Nige Shaw memorial night on the 22nd September, the 100 Club anniversay on the 23rd september, The Connaught Hotel on the 29th September, Hip Hugger in Weston on the 30th September, Belfast weekender on the 7th October, Johnny T's Birthday nighter on the 14th October, Solid Hit Soul on the 20th October, Middleton on the 28th October I could list more dates, but that would be considered self promotion...wouldn't it ?

    How have you managed to work that out then Davie ? Bmibaby are still saying this on their website tonight Important Travel Information In most instances passengers are permitted to carry ONE item of cabin baggage through the airport security search point. The dimensions of this item must not exceed: a maximum length of 45 cm, width of 35 cm and depth of 16 cm (17.7""Â13.7""Â6.2" approx) (including wheels, handles, side pockets etc). Other bags, such as handbags, may be carried within the single item of cabin baggage. All items carried by passengers will be x-ray screened.
  24. Dave Rimmer
    I'm sorry Mandy, I didn't realise that if Soul Sam, Butch, Mick H, Tim Brown, and Arthur Fenn liked a record that we all have to. I bow to your infinitely superior judgement and will rush out tomorrow to buy a copy of 'Joe Jamer'. Anything else you'd care to mention that I have to like as well ?
