  1. Saw this on ebay and couldn't believe my eyes. Two copies buy it now from a place called Loopdiggarrecords.com in Australia. I was so intrigued I bought them, and they arrived today, along with a bloody customs charge of £11..... So does anyone know who did these and more to the point why. I mean it's hardly a well known 45, I love both sides and both have been played at Burnley notably by Ady Potts and Andy Killick. They are very well done, good quality vinyl and labels, and the sound quality is superb. But who and why? Phil.
  2. there are shit laods of quality northern djs that could rock the place big time REALLY!!!!!!! who are these people because I must have been looking in the wrong places???????
  3. Please note that all the prices in black print i.e. £100 are set sale prices. Only the prices in blue print i.e. Best offer is £300 are auction items....... Some confusion on this sorry. The auction ends today at 6pm GMT, I don't have an automated system like Manship, so don't leave it to the last minute to put your bids on. To view all auction and set sale prices, click on the link bellow. I will endeavor to keep bids updated in real time. Phil.
  4. people should have talk to the promoters more, many people have a negative experience at nights, the music/ the floor/ non soulies/ the lighting/ the sound system etc etc etc, if you just leave and dont go back then the promoters don't know why the numbers are dropping off.. I have been a promoter for over 20 years, i like to get feedback on the night, good or bad and then its up to me to either sort things out or lose some custom.. Sometimes i act on the feedback and other times i don't, it depends on what i think is best for my venue or what i want from the event.... Agree with this Steve, problem is nobody promotes professionally, it's all very Dunkirk spirit and don't complain because he's a mate and we don't want to upset him etc etc. But to me, if you expect people to travel and then pay £10 to get in to your event, then you should be trying your damndest to make sure they enjoy themselves......and sorry wannabe promoters but that means spending time and money on PA, lighting and making people feel welcome. Also, put some thought into your Dj choice. Would you pay to go and hear your Dj's play? because 95% of them on this scene I wouldn't walk down the street to hear. We all used to be dancers, now most of us are too decrepit so we all want to be Dj's, there aren't enough spots for us so we all open our own venues, and that's the real problem. Amateur Mickey Mouse events, Dj in a box PA systems with a room full of chin scratching wannabe Dj's who have f**k all to offer. Rant over. Phil.
  5. Well sorry but he's a prick and wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes at my nighter.
  6. Hello Ady, I have been reading this thread with more than a little interest, and would like to add my own observations which are probably coming from a different perspective to most. I came to the 100 club twice last year, as you know because we spoke on both occasions. That was the first time that I had ever visited, and despite being told that "it's not what it was" I wanted to see what the fuss was all about....... On entering the room I immediately liked it, the atmosphere of the place, it felt good. The next thing that hit me was the cheesy oldies that were being played......stuff I could hear half a mile down the road from my house. I thought this must be just the warm up, but quite a few were played throughout the night. But the thing that totally ruined the night for me was the sound system.......just shocking.....no excuse for this in my opinion, and the biggest problem with venues on this scene. Can't see the point in playing mega rare and expensive 45's on a shit system. The only other thing that bothered me a tad, was some of the tourists behaviour. In fact on my second visit I had an incident with a cock head who was throwing those florescent rings about that they have at raves. As I said I came down twice, just in case I had picked a bad night on the first occasion. But no, the second visit was worse for me than the first..... I am a very fussy punter, I don't do gear and I don't drink. I go out for the music and to dance, but I want a good sound system and a dick head free zone. And that's why I personally would never come down there again. On a more general note. I agree that the combination of, recession, age and hundreds of very poor and badly run nights are the reason that attendances are down. Also as someone said earlier, Greg I think, there isn't enough new good quality music left to play. I must congratulate you Ady on keeping it going for so long. A huge achievement. I don't think allnighters will last much longer. All the DJ's that worked for me, wanted to be on between 12 and 2am.....and if you look at the most successful [in numbers] venues at the moment, they are open on a Sunday afternoon.....I think that speaks volumes sad though it is. I think the comment that someone used earlier? could have been Greg again, sums up this entire scene now.....Flogging a dead horse.....Never see teds these days...... Phil. p.s. Ady, thanks for starting this post, it's been bloody boring on here lately.

  11. I was only wanting to send UK pounds to a bank in the UK. They don't call it rip off Britain for nothing you know.
  12. I enquired about bank transfers at my bank, and they looked at me as though I had just killed an infant. Then said I would incur ridiculous charges unless I had a business account.
  13. Roll on the day when cheques are totally done away with I don't agree. Cheques are fantastic, I can get to a bank no problem, and it's free. If you were selling big ticket 45's you wouldn't want to pay the paypal fees, which now equate to more like 5% I recieved a spate of "as a gift" payments recently, and I did get a warning from paypal......I applaude their safety system that protects buyers, and I would never risk sending "as a gift" payments for ebay sellers. But most of the payments that I was recieving were from people I know, or have dealt with before, so not a problem I think.
