Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Point taken Chalky and forgive me but I checked the diary thingy here and nothing was listed on those dates, of course I will avoid those dates but what is the point in having the listings if you don't fillin the details on the dates??? in advance like everyone else appears to have done already. Mark.

Really sorry in advance to the owner of a watch which was handed to me early doors at The Verve Allnighter ,I was side tracked when DJ'ing and forgot to mention it over the mic, it was done during the night but was not claimed, Jacqui my wife said there was a chap in a bit of a panic looking for it outside etc. panic over the watch is safe and sound at the club, so if anyone knows the owner can they please get in touch with me as soon as possible. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Hi Chalky, I went into next years dates and have avoided all Lifeline,New Century, Bidds, Rugby, Stoke etc.dates,can't see 100 Club dates on the website for next year but trying my best to do the right thing here.

That's 6 allnighters trying to avoid other gigs, will run these dates past venue and confirm as soon as possible. Regards - Mark

There are a couple of copies on UK ebay mate. Mark

When we ran The North Cheshire Soul nights in Stockport, Manchester for about a ten year period we were always busy always packed and had some pretty well known DJ's on, I asked Richard to DJ several times but the dates were wrong for him but after nailing a date down finally he came to the Cheshire to DJ, now the venue was one which filled around 10pm/10.30pm and the pace and night picked up, however when Richard Searling was on we were full to the rafters by 9pm which made for one of the best nights down there, Richard's name, reputation,integrity etc.is still one of the few DJ's who can actually put bums on seats or on the dance floor lol, he can DJ for who he wants when he wants if he wants, when he came to our event it was never about the money or anything like that more about finding a free date infact it was harder getting him a signed Spurs football as a gesture of thanks and let me tell you for a Chelsea fan took some doing. Regards - Mark Bicknell gh we were not an Allnighter

22 parcels you need help mate lol

Left one of this list Russ old bean lol Mark Bicknell

Trying to workout a date Chalky reckon its going to be October?

Not as nice as this though lol

That's a very good point would a Sunday be better? thing I see as a problem with that is if any of the dealers are out at gigs the night before? Mark

Smart arse Steve whoops lol lol and yes Chalky much better location than the football club, full details to follow as soon as possible, be nice to get some feedback fromrecord dealers, everyone seemed keen to do another after the first one. Regards - Mark

Further to the Soul Music Record Fair And Swap Meet we ran at Hyde Football Club last July 2011 I now have secured a venue in a better location for a second event, just putting feelers out to record dealers at this stage to see if the interest is still there, full details to follow shortly, hoping this will become a regular event, please PMme if you are interested, dealer pitches will be £25.00 per 6ft of selling space, in house sound system to promote sales on the day, food, reasonable bar prices, date to be confirmed. Regards - Mark Bicknell.
