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

I hope not, I've been one of the 'youngsters' on the scene for years.......and I'm waiting to have 'all' of the records! All the best, Len P.s - If this film takes any longer, the people in it will be too old to play their parts!

I said 'eat some Porridge' Sooty! x

....You may wanna read post number 2 Steve Len

"I beg your pardon Squire?" L

...It already is - catch up! Everyone keeps asking for 'something different', so there you have it - That's why we go! All the best, Len

....Why, didn't my first spot?! See ya soon mate Len

Not enough though - There are lots of people 'waiting in the shadows' for this to 'happen' ....Actually, I think it is 'gradually' turning believe it or not - we're 'making steps' round our way. I really should write something 'on topic' - I would like to see Val Chandler 'released' on some major venues, great taste and one of the crowd that influenced me when I started out (Trev, Cliff etc) in a distant kinda way. I wouldn't have dared to speak to them back then - The way it should be! - Trev and Val did the early spots at 'SILKS' - Fantastic tunz. I know some think Roger Banks is an 'R 'n' B' only man, but he ain't. He can do some really soulful sets - great with the mike too ....Actually he's still D.Jing a lot, I haven't seen him in ages that's all - Worth a mention though (well, it would have been if he didn't D.J anymore ) All the best, Len

'Nowt' (how am I doing Chalky? ).....wrong in standing on a box when D.Jing! - Mind you if I didn't, at least I'd miss the tumbleweed 'slowly tumbling by' All the best, Len

Doh! Len

Eat some Porridge mate All the best, Len

Mmmmm, I’m actually finding this thread more interesting by the minute….. So here goes with two more peneth from me…… Nev, Chalky is what they call a ‘Proud Yorkshire Man’, he calls a ‘Spade a Spade’, and ‘says it how it is’…….we down south call that rude He’s actually quite ‘cuddly’ in real life Chalky, “ey up, thar knows what thar can do dunt yer”…..probably upsets some of us ‘Southern Softies’….We don’t even know what ‘Thar’ means! …..and that’s the difference between ‘North’ and 'South’ All the best, Len P.s - If Nev is from 'The North' please don't anyone mention it!
