"Guyz" is a fantastically patronizing phrase.......I use it all the time Len

Just a 'hint' that he's interested in records Nice one. Len

Thanks Mick, listening to the man himself on that was the first time for me (ever). Magical (23.33)......."I think we gotta find room for two more newies"..... Folks, I'm getting some really interesting names put forward - as in people I just don't know. We will be featuring some more obvious choices of course, because their stories are also interesting, but I'm also very interested in getting to know about people who are not the obvious 'Spot-light on' types. Thanks again for your input so far guys Len

Has anyone got a photo of Nev Wherry? Len

Great stuff so far guys - Thanks for the input Don't forget if you have anyone in mind who you think would be of interest please PM me, and we'll feature them - There are new / young people joining 'our world', so what may seem trivial to you, will actually be interesting / even mind blowing at times! to others All the best, Len

Obviously the same Nev, just the timing out. Len

Yes, I still want 'Arin Demain - Silent Treatment' because of that LP It's nice to read he was well thought of. Len

I first knew of his name through that L.P 'The Record Collector' on the Destiny label (Picture on the front of a guy in a cellar surrounded by records) This LP was part of a batch of records given to me when I was 15 years old, which started me record collecting, and was my first 'insight' to this strange world - I remember reading the notes.......'Discovered by'......It intrigued me, whilst I was absolutely mesmerized by the sounds I was hearing - Magic Len

Welcome to the 'Spot-light On' series of discussions where we discuss literally anyone on the scene in a positive way, sharing interesting stories, records discovered etc. If you have someone in mind that you think interesting, please put the name forward and we'll add it to the list......First up is a name I know, but never met the man, and would be most interested in his background / what he discovered / where he DJed / what he was like / Photos would be good too. So let's start the ball rolling on what is hoped to be the start of some interesting discussions with the man 'Nev Wherry'..........over to you folks..... All the best, Len

Well it is my very first Poll 'eddiefoster' Len

Thought be interesting to see how things are nowadays with ref to how many people travel fair distances to events - Views / comments most welcome. Len

Hi Paul, Just to back up what Mike has stated (as was part of the discussions on what to do) A complaint came through, we looked at it, there was absolutely no mention of hiding anything for the sake of the site, just thought to lock it was the sensible thing to do. All the best, Len.

Awesome tune. Len.

Great stuff. Yes, thanks for posting this up. Len

Nowt wrong in tweaking the speed slightly for some tunes - For dancing, it can be the difference between enjoying, or walking through treacle!.......In my humble opinion of course You may have a point ref posting on You Tube though All the best, Len

'The Internationals - Beautiful Philosophy' ??? All the best, Len

Great thread on Record Rooms here - All the best, Len

I thought he meant "I seriously hope I'm right" / so "NO" stands No is good (If answering the thread title) Len

I have one Ady, PM me where you want it sending. All the best, Len

Yes RIP Toby, Always got on really well with him. Len.

Don't panic folks - If the Amish can stick to their traditions, I'm sure we can for the foreseeable future All the best, Len

My Dad was keen on Johnny Mathis - How could I reject that?! I singled out the vinyl because nowadays there are other options to how people can listen to the sounds - I know taking that bit away from us would be too much, which is understandable because we have the collecting side as an added interest. If 'The Wigan Young Souls' are doing it our way, then power to em / I personally also say power to anyone young that enjoys the music through what means they choose. That's my view anyway, I was interested in other peoples' views - Like a post earlier, someone said ten years ago he had a very different view, but now not as bothered if it means the music carries on being enjoyed. Len

Yes of course, but some people can be 'Oh so OVO' (Shouting it from the roof tops), which may put off some kid that is only interested in enjoying the sounds. Keep collecting mate Len

That's good, I just can't see many young people being attracted to somewhere where the average age is now 50 - I wasn't mainstream, but I wouldn't want to go anywhere near somewhere when I was that age if my Dad was about! It looks like if they're on our scene they will carry on the record thing, but if they do something themselves then that's up to them. Hey ho Len
