    This film was done by Pat Costigan a good few years back... Just seen it posted on youtube and would like to share it with you... Had the pleasure of helping out on this project and meeting the original members and owner who passed away since.. A nice slice of history.....

    Its like falling into a barrel of boobs with a constant erection... I know some folk who go meet the postie on the path, they are like children at xmas.... Nothing like the smell of vinyl in the morning post...

    Many of these batttered looking 45s play fine, got quite a few from the states for bargain prices as listed vg-.. The damage is in the lable more on this and other copies it seems.. For playing at home you could want a clean copy but for playing out loud you get many of these records, i hear plenty out with a little snap crackle and pop on the intro, when it kicks in its not too bad... At least this looks intact, some records bought with slits, held together with lollipop sticks .... Gives a new meaning to vinyl junkies...

    Not the djs thats for sure.. Well not the djs who just dj, many are promoters and record dealers too., thats a different ball game!..

    What a joy to read this my freind... There aint nothing like that feeling.. Respect... A good point by Pikey with regards to the young crew doing there own thing, i agree on the no outside influence, just do your own thing... Thats fine if they have the numbers, i know plenty but they are spread far and wide, some cross promotions BY YOUNG PROMOTERS maybe to bring them all together.. The younger end and older mix free and easy at our events, we encourage young collector/ djs to play alongside the older brigade and it seems to work fine and long may it last... The key is that the older crowd are still very young at heart , not ready for the pipe and slippers just yet! My version of younger lot are early 20s to early 30s, the teenage crowd coming through is a different thing i guess.. When i was 18 i thought anybody over 25 was fossil .. The very young crowd should and maybe need to just do what they wanna do.... A good topic indeed...

    What a show and great crowd.. Lee Fields , the best live soul artist i have seen.... He started with the Carl Carlton track " Two timer " , what a man and what a great band too.. This track last night sounded oh so good... Nice to meet Godzilla from soul source.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MahsaJU9dMM&feature=related

    Going to Band on the wall tomorrow with a group and also getting to dj this event as a freind doing the event dropped out.. Really up for this and more so after seeing the feedback from London.... Still tickets left for Manchester.. £15 in advance and £17 on the door the websites says.. Look forward to seeing a good few others off here on Thursday.... Band on the Wall is a great venue for live music and with the refurb the sound system is real quality...

    The Hawk is a close freind to the Siamese Twin, that person that stands so close over the deck, checking every tune you play, you can' even see the fooking dancefloor, the twin don't wanna move at all... Some even have the camera phone out to snap away at everything they like and don't know... Don't mind some attention but do wish they would give you some room to breath, chill, check the crowd, have a piss in your dj bottle behind the decks... The Twn as also be known to tell you what to play .. Big events with stage are pretty free from the Siamese twin, they lurk at small events where the decks are up close to the crowd....

    Don't worry, these altercations are few and far between with regards to the size and ammounts of soul events.. I run a city center soul event and watch out for these clowns.... No point f£cking about, if anyone plays up then get them out...

    I would say an event that goes on to 5am/ 6am is a niter now, just like in Europe.. The 8am events will fade away as folk get towards tartan blankets, nice chair and slippers, many now leave well before the end.... Mini niters are fine by me on a flyer, they tell folk its going on into the well wee hours, way past the time of the soul nights... peace and love..

    A good balance that floats your boat... And over a long period of time.... 3 people who as been doing this for me over all these years..... Keith Money and Carl Willingham.. Nick Hackett...Be that in a main room or a little rare back room... They have always delivered and can change a tempo/ mood with grace... A promoters dream to have these kind of people on the stage.. You can go for fag break or a piss and know its not gonna go tits up
  23. Little-stevie
    Made me smile after a hard day at work.... Balance... A question indeed... Will have a think and get back to you...

    Just got home from work and Lydia told me the news about the closing of Greatstone rare soul club event.. So so sad, its been the cornerstone of my diet on quality rare soul all these years, i have been a regular there for how long,?? maybe 10 years or more.. Introduced so many others to this little gem.. The music as been of the highest order and i have met so many freinds through going there.. Always made the effort when possible to attend and also bring along others too.. I know that nothing lasts forever and not enough younger folk to take the place of many regulars that have stopped going for various reasons.. Thanks Tony/ Paul/ Mark for so many good times/ great tunes and freindship over the past dozen years or so.... One door closes and another one opens maybe, i should know that with rare soul promotions.. Will catch up soon...
