Dave Vanner has done that - Surely this hasn't happened twice?!!! Len

Lee Jeffries from Leicester mate - His dad is Steve. Yes a nice lad, he also did Cleethorpes when they had that really small modern room upstairs. It was a good move putting him on at the Ely Alnighter - He even 'upstaged' you mate! All the best, Len

Oh god - Are they?!!! ....Is anyone gonna be serious on here?!!! ...Oh, you are? - Damn! Len

.....I fear my mates will laugh, what with you being 13 and sounding sooooo much like me! ...The only difference being, that if a record I planned to play is played - I panic! lol......and if it's my opening record, well I just cry .....not really.....honestly...... Sorry, you've had to leave us mate - Enjoy School, and stay away from the Soul Scene....For your own sanity.......'Cuckoo' All the best, Len

....Lots of places......I wouldn't recommend though........ Len

Mmmm, ok you may have a point Len

Well no one could have won in 'The Den' ....It wouldn't be worth putting it on if so! I know you're havin' a joke mate.....well trying to .......Can you imagine? - I really would be 'absolutely devastated!' ...."By the time you read this etc....." All the best, Len

A good friend ‘e’ mailed me today with ref this thread (and I quote) “a good read but I think you may have left yaself wide open there, chr*st you like to live on the edge Len! Lol”…….I’m starting to think he has a point Ted Massey, Dave Rimmer, Kev John, Sooty, Giant, Terry and Garry Huxley I thought the subject interesting as I’m sure (well wondered if) other D.J’s do worry / care about doing an ‘original’ (no ‘pun’ intended) job of D.Jing……and if so, may come forward to discuss. …..It could be a ‘Northern Soul D.J Help Line’……..some ‘need help’ that’s for sure......Yeh, yeh, myself included (too easy!) All the best, Len

Yeh, and ain't we privileged to have experienced that 'Magic' mate? ....Just wonderful...... All the best, Len

Dave Clegg was 'part of the furniture' at The 100 Club for years. I last saw him at Hatty's (of 'Hatty and Andy') Birthday a few months back in Notts. I hadn't seen him in a long time, but we spent most of the evening together 'putting the Scene right' I class Dave as one of my few friends All the best, Len

Doh! (again!)....Now I REALLY am! Len

He, he - You're welcome ......the last 14 years?......I dread to think All the best, Len

I know exactly what you mean mate. Sorry if this post is very slightly 'off topic' but I think it validates your point - Lately I have been playing 'out' the other side of 'Jesse Fisher - Your Not Loving A Beginner', which is the instrumental (hence the 'off topic', because there is one) ........But you listen to it loud and all the way through - It's incredible! There's so much to 'getcha feet into' - I've been playing it at 'The Den', but it's a 'Big Room' sound really. Unfortunately I can't find a You Tube clip of it, but if any of you 'out there' has a copy - go and try it, you will be amazed. For anyone who doesn't know the record 'full stop', I've posted the vocal side, just so you know what record I'm talking about. If anyone can post up the instrumental 'Waiting', I'd be much obliged. All the best, Len

Don't be sorry mate, you don't come across as (what I call) a ‘side liner’ that just criticises for the sake of it - I put “just out of interest” (to get that point across to you) It makes sense what you say, I suppose some of us have been spoilt and sometimes simply don’t settle for anything but ‘the best’, or ‘what we want’, if that makes sense. I don’t go out like I used to, and haven’t done a 100 Club all-nighter for a very long time, so now I would except, really enjoy, or even ‘want’ Ady to play that kind of stuff and thoroughly enjoy it. As Russ Vickers pointed out a while back, “The 100 Club must be the only club in the world to have its own Oldies” (That many at least) And Ady is obviously is a major contributor of them, I find it best to always bare that in mind - It’s incredible if you think about it. All the best, Len

B*gger! Len

I like you already Len

Hi 'geeselad' just out of interest, what did you expect him to do? All the best, Len

......Now you know how sensitive I am Dave.........please confirm you are joking ....Actually - Don't! All the best, Len

....I'm moved that you care mate Len

Yes, that makes sense.......but I simply couldn't do it! .......Brian Goucher, I'm sure will explain All the best, Len P.s - The whole damn set gets changed every time!

I played that with Gavin page at a do in Milton Keynes years back - Everyone even put money in the centre of the table - Whoever guessed correctly, got the cash! - Brilliant All the best, Len

That’s an admirable attitude, and Stevie P (‘Len’s Den’ resident D.J) hasn’t repeated one tune to date (Or hardly any at least) I wouldn’t do (like you) and entirely change my set to the last one (at any given place) but I understand why you do it, and it obviously works for you. My sets change, but more gradually, dropping a few here and there. I may see it slightly different being a promoter, as my ‘job’ is different than when D.Jing ‘out of house’ All the best, Len

You could say that about some of the music played at some events! L

Oh Len

Are you a Paranoid D.J? …….Or is it just me? It’s no secret that I always work my set out prior to an event - It was for years mind (Teenage ‘angst’ an’ all that )……But I have always worried about repeating tunes, and I still struggle with playing stuff that ‘I played last time’. I still do, because ‘certain’ tunes at ‘certain’ venues are expected from ‘certain’ D.J’s, myself included albeit on a ‘local level’. Some of you may remember an interesting article in Manifesto Magazine when Butch was interviewed and he covered this point, saying not everyone goes out week in, week out, so best not to worry…….but I do - I would hate it if I was known as a predictable D.J,…..In fact, the other week, I was talking to someone in ‘Len’s Den’ about a record I played, and this lad said (innocently) “Yeh, you played it last time”…….Not that he knew it, but I was absolutely devastated! After I’d finished ‘self-harming’, I smashed the record into one thousand pieces! (You know what I mean) So, does anyone else suffer from this worry?.....Or is it just me?...... N.B - It’s bl*dy stupid if you think about it, as some records have been repeated for 40 years in some places, and no one seems to mind at all — in actual fact, that’s what they want! All the best, Len
