Yes! - Imagine that - It would be really healthy. People may even start enjoying themselves again, instead of analysing everything far too much! Len. ps - A bit like we are now... (Again! lol)

Now your fave subject Dave.The closure of the Union.( not the Trent club Dave). As you rightly say ,best venue in the area.

I wish it were true about 'quality will shine through'...But the really sad thing is, the scene is so splintered / localised that quality may 'not' shine through (These are just the events that are suffering)... See you all in ten years time! Len.

Got the video and was at the said party. I'll dig it out and see if I can suss it for you. Get back to ya. Len.

'Double good enough for me! - If anyone 'Diss's' me man for playing it now, I can set the dogs on them without feeling guilty... If I'm on again at the 100 Club, I'd love to go on after Butch, stick a kent album on and go and dance...Just to see the record bar 'Implode'!!! Len.

Slightly related topic I reckon it'd be nice to see say Kent give out the odd exclusive to some 4th division dj's like Ernie or Mischief on here. They'd be chuffed to bits, playlists in local clubs would get a shot in the arm, and as someone pointed out it takes an age nowadays to break a record anyway so local exposure is as good as any. ROD

Right, thanks Ken and Ian, That's good enough for me. I'll look forward to giving it some stick! - It can be confusing sometimes and I don't wanna break them there rules! lol - Thought I may have needed a certificate or something off the Dj who played it first that's all! Len. Silks @ Wellingborough this Sat... etc...etc...

Slightly off thread (But not too much) Seems like the right people are reading to ask - I want to play Chuck Carter - He's A Lover - It's unreleased and only on a Kent LP. Am I allowed to get an acetate cut and play it? Or should I play it off Kent? Or should I not play it at all and only hear it if say Guy Hennigan (Who I understand broke it) Or Ady C plays it? - It would actually be a new sound to some people in this area. Please advice. Ta, Len. 'SILKS' @ Wellinhborough this Sat...

If the scene gave up playing vinyl - It would be the end for me. The whole thing is built on finding them etc. Play lists are copied by other dj's anyway - if it was digital it would be too easy for them. Len.

Yep seen that done, Blo*dy scarey! - Another typical 'Northern Soul Thing' that happens is when something is covered up there is an almost histeria created (If it gets noticed) Everyone desperatelly wants it...As soon as it's 'Out there' and they all find out what it is, they lose interest very fast...

Yep - Everytime!!! I think now days most people do it to try and keep their set their own. But it is just a bit of fun...(Well that's my excuse when I get it terribly wrong!!!) Len.
