  1. Great stuff, and 'can' be beneficial to an event. "I'm actually quite pleased to see outsiders at an event these days as long as they don't cause trouble" I got presented with my very own 'Tailor made' Hand Bag the other evening, and felt obliged to dance around it (Thanks Nick 'Topsy' Turvey of Banbury Radio!)....I plan on bringing it the next 'Len's Den', where it will have pride of place Obviously some folk at the event that the thread starters is referring to, didn't have a clue about how to behave - that is when it gets irritating and frustrating. All the best, Len
  2. Although I don’t like the term ‘Handbaggers’ because I find it offensive to those that respectfully come into our Scene, I know what you mean. As has been said, choose your venues wisely - You now have to do a bit of research (That is what has changed) There are still some great venues about with the true ‘spirit’ Welcome home by the way! All the best, Len
  3. The first 'professional' ones I saw were Cliff Steel's Detroit Academicals ones. But yes, the hand drawn ones are fab. Len
  4. I would love to see your 'famous' garage Chalky - Mr Trebus springs to mind Len
  5. 'London's Chosen Mass' Great name that. Love the old flyers. Cheers Chalky. Len
  6. Here's a couple of interesting pieces, Big Bob talks about going back to 1963. Len
  7. Just read this thread - Way before my time, but a fascinating read. Thanks. All the best, Len
  8. ......and all that is needed - It's the 'vibe' people get I suppose. All the best, Len
  9. Well I presumed those events went without saying I couldn't possibly name an event that I was involved in - That would be crass ..... Len
  10. I can only apologise , it was 'Moses Smith - The Girl Across The Street'......What's a soulie supposed to do?........'hang' in there Buddy All the best, Len
  11. I know - Been there mate!........So frustrating having your night 'stolen'......so I do it to others for revenge! Len
  12. Yep often been in a 'heart to heart' convo and had to 'suddenly' stop it. Once, some one was 'really deep', telling me about a time they were going to kill themselves, etc - A record came on, I said ..."Back in a sec".....and as I was dancing, I thought, oops, that was bad timing......I got back - No problem, and carried on chatting - He was 'one of us'; you see Whereas on the other hand, I've had people that have been offended (and said so) just because I've 'been in the zone' and 'ignored them' - That really irritates me. Len
  13. Great stuff - Me and Nina always had our own 'adventure', then we'd talk b*llox about each of our adventures for hours when we got home. Many times we've given some 'strange soul' (that we had only just met) a lift home from f*ckin miles away - One stayed at a mates for the next three days - THIS IS NOT NORMAL! - But we loved it! Len
  14. Yes, we call that 'House wives on spe*d' - Don't get trapped All the best, Len
  15. For years I suffered from 'Imposter Syndrome', but as you get older you come to realise that some people are simply not friendly (their loss) Social skills are over rated mate All the best, Len
  16. The (What I call) 'Welcoming Committee' on the door is extremely important - It puts people in the right frame of mind (appreciated), and I don't mean 'over the top' as that isn't genuine. I know what you mean mate. All the best, Len
  17. I love tapes! The only reason we bought our last car, was because it had a tape player Len
  18. You're probably right there mate. Every time I was D.Jing through the 90'd I noticed there was always this guy on the stage (wearing a head band) that had one of those huge tape recorders - He taped everywhere he went. As I said, I love those 'ruff 'n' ready' recordings, they even taped people's conversations in the back ground - Great stuff. Len
  19. I love cr*p recordings of Nighters Len
  20. 100 Club, Winsford, Wilton through the 90's were perfect to me. Great times. All the best, Len
  21. He he nice one mate 'Granted' by the way - It's not actually on 'The Shudder List' All the best, Len
  22. Nice one mate - All except for the bit ....."convincing themselves they are the only ones doing it right"......I can only speak for myself and my 'fellows' in 'The Den' of course, but we simply play good soul music (no rules) and we're no better than the guys 'n' gals in the main room, most of which come and say hello, or have a friendly laugh at us 'doing our thing' - All good fun! All the best, Len
