Geeselad

Just to echo Jez's sentiments really, thought this was a fantasdtic venue and atmoshre, sorry I couldnt make tha last one, and I wish you well with all future ventures.

Geese. Playlist 9th, October 2010-10-13 I got the graveyard shift on this first night of our new extended opening hours. I did my best to deter those who were desperately in search of bed and kebabs from leaving and keep the floor as busy as possible right till the end. Not the most serious of spots Ive played, with loads of classics, many of which are addmitably overplayed but no the less still great to dance to.after copius amount of larger. Quite a few were request that I attempted to satisfy. By no means comprehensive, tis but a blur! Patti and the emblems- love you a long, long time Percy Wiggins- that's loving you Four tops- something bout you Gladys Knight- just walk in my shoes Bobby Taylor- I've been blessed Robert John - Raindrops love and sunshine Paramount four- Sorry aint the word Carla Thomas- Never stop lovin' you Illa Vann- you made me this way Voices of east Harlem- Cashing in Mickey Moonshine- name it you got it Lou Rawls- See you when I git there Ojays - I love music Williams and Watson- too late Willie Mitchel- Champion Tamps- scruboard Anne Sexton- You've been gone too long Jnr Walker- I aint going nowhere Velors I'm gonna change Mamie Lee - I can feel him slipping away Paramount four- sorry aint the word, Again (by demand!) Maxime Brown - One in a million More dates hear next year, till then see you @ the Pavillion on sunday 7th November.

Thanks so much Paul, great set from your good self, again a fantastic mix of underplayed, classics and allnighter monsters, very professionally put together, loved Carlena and didnt I hear Cajun Heart in there. Top stuff, will attempt to post my lot tommorow, come on you two, lets hear what waas played during the early hours sets by the other residents.

Proud to say I played this as a new release @ local house nights, it was big at the Hacienda on saturdays at the time, the LP he did is good, Rainfalls is even better for me though.

Here's me litle lot from saturday, many thanks for Steve who booked me and to Chic and Pete for honouring it. This venue has a fantastic identity and format and deserves to be supported as Cheshire's premier rare soul night! Reggie Soul - My world of ecstacy Les Mcann- Sad little girl (LP) Harvey Averne Dozen- Think it over (LP) reminds me of tales of the unexpected soooooooooo much! Patti and the Emblems- Its the little things Kris Petterson- just as much Lollipops- Loving good feeling Charmers- Looking for trouble Jo- anne Garret- Whole new plan Bud Harper- Wherever you were John Bowi- you're gonna miss a good thing Chosen Few- birth of a playboy Kent Meade- Funky to me Al Robinson- Sho nuff bout to drive me wild Marva Lee- Cant be true Larry Williams- You're the one Tony Diamond- Dont turn away Esther Philips- Just say goodbye Billy Soultreee- Im your man Celeste Hardy- Your gone Paramount Four- Sorry aint the word Illa Vann- you made me this way Brothers Guiding light - getting together

Great set tony.

costs are massive for this venue, and its not the same as it was beforw twas done up.

Very touching sentimnets mate, well said!

And exactly what do you do to keep Wigan open then.?........which l'm sure was a lot more influential to The Northern Soul Scene than the 100 Club Controversial but the 100 has probably been more influencial in the last 20 years, for people of my age it set the standards in the 8ts.

Just cant believe it specially after saturday and a trumphant return by me after 20 years, looking round the walls at the photo's before we left @6 AM, all those scenes, the diversity and span of this place is emense, will sign up tonight, we cant let this happen!

Its cited as a very influencial early disco record in a number of books , I've read.

Not everbody loves this kind of stuff but glad the topics kept away from Northern V Funk or any other stuff.. Just a nice thread for those that dig any of this stuff....

Some are so desperate they've resorted to playing there own instumental woodwind versions of tunes at the back of soul nights! Flatulent re-edit of tune up anyone?

Seen the bv on the top of some continental wants lists, this, bleeding johnny foriegner again. LOL.

Here the second bit I did on friday, after Chris's excellent spot, a very hard act to follow! But no the less I played a mix of tunes skewed slightly more towards oldies with a hint of club classics and Motown, thrown in as you might expect for the last part of the night. Not sure bout the order but think I've listed about everything. Anne Sexton- You been gone too long Celest Hardy- Your gone Carla Thomas- Never stop loving you Tammi Terrel- Come up and see me Bobby Taylor- I've been blessed Chimes- Beggining of my life Commands- Hey its love Marvin Smith- Who'll do your running now Charlie Rich- Love is after me Lee David- Temptation is calling my name H.B. Barnum- Heartbreaker Chuck Jackson- Hand it over Solumon Burke- Cry to me Billy Soultree- I'm your man Dionne Warwick- Lonley Little Anthony- Use your head Maxime Brown- One in a million.

As always I played two shortish spots on the night, this one prior to Mick Welsh lasted from 9.40 ish till 10.10. A mixed bag of underplayed and classics to hopefully get em up and into dancing, with as ever, the in house 'Genuine talc'. Jackie Beavers- Trying to get back to you Tyrone 'wonderboy' Davis- Running a losing race Bud Harper- Wherever you were Jimmy Gilmer- Thunder and lightning Bobby Diamond- Stop Tymes- Love that your looking for Williams and Watson- Too late Al Robinson- Sho nuff bout to drive you wild Terri Bryant - Geni. Will try to post the later spot in a bit, that all for now folks!
