I've advocated this for a long time but I doubt promoters would take it up as ten quid is ten quid, p*ss head or not. Russ mentioned tickets. They will never work. Have run ticket only in the past or both ticket and pay on the door and the uptake of tickets was practically non existent. Whether it is because people don't want to buy in case of last minute postponement? Don't have the money to spend ahead or what I don't know.

A want here Tim....

Just reading the Bobby Womack biography Midnight Mover, excellent read with some cracking stories, some sad some funny.

One reason I'd like to see memberships return.

Ey up pal. My post isn't aimed at you or anyone in particular. It's just my opinion of where the policy of the night should come from. Obviously the paying punter will decide a venues fate. Nothing wrong with attending an oldies night

The direction should come from the promoter and then the DJ's he, she or they hire. If they wish to get away from the classics then they should stipulate that on the advertising and instruct the DJ's indication exactly the direction you want them to go without going so far as to tell them what to play, in other words use some imagination. Of course it would be foolish to go down a completely underplayed lesser known set so some good quality oldies should be in the mix. Start of with a small venue and move up as the interest hopefully grows. I don't see the point in anyone wishing to promote another oldies night, the scene is at saturation point now venue wise as it is so no point watering it down.

Tat and not about the music but fashion.

Thanks Steve and I would love to hear the live tapes

Hopefully get o listen tomorrow now I have Bluetooth iPod. If not will download over the weekend. Top class and highly recommended are Steve's podcasts.

I remember him playing the Hyperions (Escorts cover up) three times at the 100 Club. He said "I'm gonna keep playing this till you fookin dance".

It's only the wilderness years to them that thought Northern Soul died when the casino shut. I've still loads of tracks and a few more DJ's to cover yet, George Sharp. Jimmy Wensiora, Chris Plant, Butch, more Keb, Guy and Dave Thorley as well.

Thanks guys for the comments and feedback, always appreciated. I'm just about finished with Pat's fourth, podcast 39 believe it or not. I though I would struggle to get a dozen or so done.

The writer(s) will still get royalties and Bear Family will have to set something aside incase they come forward if they couldn't be found as I understand it?

I never implied they didn't but they might have the answers Bearsy wants after all they have to have been in touch with someone to get the rights

If they can't track them they have to at least show they have made an effort don't they and leave something in a pot in case they come forward? Ian Dewhirst or someone will know the ins and outs.

Is Fred Kerston still alive or is it going to his family? Does Kerston really own the rights to everything? Some royalties must be paid to the writers Cook & Harris or their estate I would have thought?

Understand Bear Family are fully legit and one of the best at what they do, wouldn't for a minute accuse them of being dodgy but who have they licensed the track off? Kerston? Harris? Might lead to some unanswered questions if you can find the licensing deal out? I don't have a copy of the re-issue so can't see if that tells you who it is licensed from. off-topic....I have The Beat DVD's, magic stuff.

We know all this, it has been said in this topic and previous topics. Who are The Bear Family paying the royalties/licensing to?

I use offliberty for all I listen to off mix cloud. I simply download and then in iTunes file/add to library. I then sync iPod.

Unfortunately not mate.

Richard probably mate? He usually does.

It makes them better dj's apparently Great show as said where the emphasis on quality and not the price, great stuff.
