Yes Chalky absolutely spot on , some of the guest Dj's at the bigger local events leave a lot to be desired to say the least , musically and behind the decks and certain local allnighters where the prime spots are taken up with non local Dj's who's music can only be described as dire in my opinion.
I fully sympathise with your feelings and can understand your frustrations because you are such a great entertainer and have a superb record collection and lesser Dj's are getting regular bookings locally.
My feelings as you know are I'm not bothered about bookings elsewhere locally, I'm honestly not that interested, I wont ask for a spot anywhere but totally enjoy the 2 venues I am involved in and put everything I can into these but these points are taken on board when booking future guests.
But hang on in there because in 10 years or so into the future most of these are so old they will of popped their clogs or be in old peoples homes so us younger generation can conquer the soul world or what is left of it.
