Quinvy

When he first appeared on TV as the arrogant scouse poet I couldn't stand him, and when I saw he was in Red Dwarfe I refused to watch it just because he was in it. Shame that because years later I watched some Red Dwarf and really enjoyed it. I know people change as they get older, but once a t**t always a t**t.

And that Mr soul agent, is why you should lock your posts. Otherwise this will happen.

Are there none that us plebs can attend Ian?

Is anyone in the north west doing a film showing and after film do? I would have thought that organising some opening day screenings, maybe ticket only, and advertising them on here and FB would have created a buzz. You know give it sort of a premier feeling. Just make sure it states on the tickets "NO FANCY DRESS"

He does play some woeful tracks as well though. Only an artists mother could love.

Twenty years from now most of us won't be here.

How many times do I have to say this?................THERE ISN'T ENOUGH NEW MUSIC TO SUSTAIN A WEEKLY NIGHTER!

I didn't think you could used family and friends for overseas transactions?

I only bought very rare pieces off him that aren't available anywhere. And that's what credit cards are for isn't it. There are quite a few people out there now who have incredible Dj boxes with all the big hitters in there, and they have put them together in a very short time. If they had tried to put the same box together on the cheap they would be a long time dead and have nowt to show. Times running out for us, and that's why these records go for such massive prices. If you want to have the best records now, you're gonna have to pay through the nose to get them.

I was listening and I agree, I like his voice but not the arrangement. Now they've just played Teddy Pendergrass - TKO, now that is a soul voice.

I have bought of him in the past when I was Dj'ing and desperate to own something. And I know for certain that a lot of the well known Dj's have bought of him too.

Have you been taking something Kev?

We can't even get support for a monthly event, never mind weekly. And even Ady couldn't supply enough new 60's to feed a weekly event.

Ady, the fact is that any Dj worth a dam would kill to have some one off quality 60's northern to play. I would have walked over hot coals to have some when I was promoting. The ones you sold to JT went down a storm when he played them at Burnley. The Cavaliers track was the b*llocks.

I had a similar email when I was selling up. When you are putting thousands of pounds through paypal they must get flagged up to warn them of possible money laundering or large businesses trying to avoid tax. Normal amounts of money don't flag up these warnings. They will probably ask you to register as a business next, they did with me. Try using direct bank transfers instead. Both parties need to have internet banking, but it's instant and free. BACS, it's the future.

To me, the best bit of the Sensations is the opening 30 seconds. The opening line and I'm gone.

First of all, if you were off your tits, how do you know what you were dancing to? Secondly, if people ram the floor to dance to tracks like Pervis Lee, then they aren't dancing to biggies or classics. And they will obviously dance to anything.

that's brilliant Pete. I would have said the total opposite myself. I have never been able to understand why that Freddie Butler was worth big money. The Sensations is a tough record especially in that condition. Oh and it's bloody magic too.

Wrong! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dZLLPaX4SS4

Fit young birds don't give a flying **** about rare soul music. You need to sell your records and start selling designer handbags if you want some attention from that demographic mate.

There weren't that many Dj's about then Len, and everyone knew who was a regular. People were still young enough to dance back then.

I used to travel all over just to listen to different Dj's who I could book for my nighter. If they got me up dancing, I booked them, if not I didn't. If only some other promoters had the balls to do that instead of letting anyone do a spot if they bring a few punters with them. Or to keep their mates happy.

I said one of, one of. Really? How come I used to ask Kitch to Dj for me at every opportunity? And Butch and Andy are the others I refer to, although I have been informed that Butch is playing more x-over and 70's stuff these days so not really my thing. Just because I made a comment about the sound system at Burnley [which was hastily removed from facebook] have I become the enemy all of a sudden?

It's like the stuff that gets radio play. People don't seek those records out, they just hear them in the background of their lives and before they know it they are hooked. Here's an interesting [i hope] anecdote. A few years ago James Trouble was a guest at Lifeline. This is advertised as the number one rare soul event in the country, with the countries finest Dj's. Their words not mine. So when James goes on he's got the countries rare soul connoisseurs to get on the dance floor. So he plays: Joe Hicks - Don't it Make You Feel Funky, Van Dykes - Save my Love For a Rainy Day and Tomangoes - I Really Love You. The floor was rammed. People who go out for a dance and have had a bit of something, aren't gonna argue the toss what's being played, so long as it's got a beat. As a promoter or Dj, you are deciding what people will dance to, not the other way round.
