News: Are Re-Edits And Mash Ups Killing Soul Music?
Yes you're right, but unfortunately the past ten years has caused these rooms to be the only chance of hearing more than a hand full of 'something different' to what is being played in the Main rooms - This was not the case through the 90's, in fact 'alternative rooms' were not necessary / needed - This was before 'The Returnees returned'......In saying this, these 'Returnees' shouldn't be patronised - I believe if done correctly, they would welcome different stuff.........we've been here before....... Len P.s - Btw, we don't play 'something different' in 'Len's Den', we play 'SOUL MUSIC'.....and all the D.J's get paid (very well actually).......Well above the minimum wage.....

Me to - Is there still a Modern Scene? I know most of the Modern Rooms that were attached to All-nighters are now alternative rooms - They used to be kicking! All the best, Len

He he - Years back at The Embankment Club, 'a very drunk' Dave Vanner followed Paul Donnelly........slurred into the mike......"Thanks to......"......then he actually turned around to face Paul who was putting his records away behind him, still speaking into the mike (as if he was 'havin' a chat')......."what's ya name again mate?"......Everyone absolutely howled! - It was fantastic! Me? - I'm sure I must have made a mistake once.......... All the best, Len

Hi Kev, I did write that....but deleted it! ......ok, I'll share a 'snippet'....... .......What I find so special about 'this thing of ours' (To quote Randy Cousins) is that fact - One really can't put into words what it is. I love that the ones that do 'understand' (get it) also instantly recognise 'the others' that do......and it has nothing to do with what clothes you wear! See ya next Friday Kev. All the best, Len

Hi Win, I just wrote (in my opinion) a rather 'profound' reply to your 'searching' question......but deleted it because it made me sound like a girl! .......There's many things that make it special mate (as ya know) and I'm sure it will be in our lives until 'the end', in some shape or form. All the best, Len

Don't worry Barry (not my design choice) although all 'fine 'n' dandy' anyway .......In the past, all of my flyers were complete 'one offs'......because I was using Letrasets, and a 'humongous' Blue and 'Hearing Aid Beige' photo copier that needed two people to carry the damn thing! This also left a 'unique' black shadow on each and every one! In fact, I'd like to see more 'retro' flyers about, because all of them nowadays are very professional looking due to improved technology....watch this space.... All the best, Len

I always thought it was a Soul Sam discovery, I expect a few of 'the guys' were playing it around that time though. I remember Sam playing it at The Embankment Club around 92 / 93 time, so he may have picked up on it shortly after it was first 'aired'. Whatever - It's a great record, which very much suits Soul Sam (Great taste) All the best, Len
