Boogaloo

Anyone got a copy of the Revels 'I need a true love' on Trent Town for sale. If so pm me.

Gloom and doom? The way I look at it, it's all about choices - you choose to be miserable - you choose to be happy. Not difficult, is it? Anyway's. I've just won 8 rare boogaloo singles on ebay and I'm estatic. More than enough to spoil anyone's night out.

These Old Shoes was 'special' - our night for London soul and kicked off lots of other soul nights including Boogaloosoul, Soul in the City etc. What makes a night special is the punters make it their night of the month that they can get excited about going to - you both pulled that off in spades. Why do I run Boogaloosoul - simple - coz I BLOODY LOVE IT. It's my hobby and passion and worth the stress. I love seeing the faces of people dancing, chatting, getting together (sometimes the only time you see each other), hearing new tunes, hearing old crusty ones, laughing, clapping and even sometimes the moans about my latin tunes. When I stop loving it I'll pack it in but for now it's one of the highlights of my month and I can't see the day when it won't be. Cheers from a VERY VERY happy soulie.

Well, looks like one of the Chiefs have gone but still plenty of Indians around. As a promoter I know that once the fun and passion have gone its bloody hard to keep going. Shame it had to be someone with big ideas, the balls to put on 'the impossible' and vision. Unfortunately the Northern scene is very unforgiving - once you're gone, you're gone but let's hope you're back soon Chris. Remember, you're a long time retired so don't be away too long. Best wishes for the future and I'm sure you'll be successful no matter what you turn your hand to. Warren

Haven't read the whole thread but I assume your referring to the 'Cheap as Chips' night we ran (did two actually). Fantastic night musically, but way down on our usual numbers for both nights so haven't done one since. It is slightly ironic that 9/10 of the people posting on this thread are djs - surely it's the punters that should be posting their thoughts. Anyway I'm glad we don't have the venue pressure in London that other parts of the country seem to have and I think the scene's very healthy at the moment (but I'm always the optimist). Personally I don't have a problem with people putting on nights - if you're willing to put your money where your mouth is - good on ya.

Whilst you're musing whimsically on the subject, has anyone got a copy pf the Joe for sale. Sorry to hijack the thread........ erm, actually no I'm not.

Hope you get one mate. Top tune. Warren

One of the greatest jazz singers of all time. Get well soon Nancy.

The kids got a point tho'.

Nat King Cole - a master. Others on my list are Tony Bennet, Donny Hathaway, Dori Grayson (who?), Karen Carpenter, Connie Francis, Brenda Lee, Billy Brag, Tracy Thorn and Dionne Warick. An eclectic mix you might say. Warren

Fabadabadoozy track. Andy if you manage to secure one then I'm next in the queue. Put out a want for this last year to no avail. Total magic. Warren

We went to see her last week at Bush Hall in West London. A great little venue and only 350 tickets sold. Fantastic concert and I love her voice. The Boogaloos have become firm fans. Warren

Enough of the subtle, subliminal messages. How much do you want? Warren

If anyone's got a copy of this for sale pm me. Ta Warren

Bloody marvelous cd. Not a duff track on the whole thing. Didn't know you'd been speeding up the Luther Ingram tho', Ady. Warren

That was quick!!! Think I'll put mine up for offers Ken, that was a joke.

Just watched her on Jools Holland and got to say she is an exceptional talent. What a voice. Reminds me of a cross between Dionne Warwich and Esther Phillips. Rewound it twice on Skye + and she gets better each time.

Now that is amazing. Right place at the right time. Warren

I love burgers
