Chrissie,
Before I book any dates with the Stewartby club I always check the soul source events calendar, just to make sure we don't clash with another local event. So when I listed the 3rd September in the events section, last year, I double checked to see if there was anything else listed in the area, there was not. Then, this year in March you posted your event up. So when you did this you would have seen that Stewartby was already in there, and had been in there since the previous year ! Why on earth didn't you say something at that point?
Regarding : "To infer that the likes of Ted Massey, John Weston, Steve Gaurnori, Woody, Steve Clarke, Bearsy, Lou, Kev Draper and a few more would be playing chin stroking, obscure mid tempo dross is an insult to some of the best DJs around". You've put their names to that statement, not me !
Steve Clarke did a set at Stewartby once, great records, loved it. ThenTed Massey was kind enough to come & dj for us at Stewartby on one occasion, as our headline dj, I loved his set, but sadly that was our lowest attended night since we started. In fact it was because of that night that we decided to stop asking big name dj's to appear at Stewartby & just Hammie, Geoff & myself would spin bits n bobs from our collections, just have a bit of fun kind of thing, then the numbers went back up.
It's a shame you clashed with Stewartby because we'd have liked to have come along to your event. Perhaps next year
Regards,
