    Is back in the uk later this year.... https://bandonthewall.org/events/3959/ Not sure of his other shows but I know he is at the Under The Bridge in Chelsea. Saw him last year and he was one of the best live acts ive seen.

    I think I've only missed one I think plus two weekends I only did the Saturday due to breaking elbow and other such mishaps Won the quiz quite a few times though including this year with Mark Speakman and Chico

    They aren't promoters though the majority Len are they. They are simply fulfilling a need to DJ with the records they have spent the kids inheritance on. They don't care if just one man and his dog turns up, they have no thought for the bigger picture (the scene) just their own selfish requirements.

    Keele wasn't like what we had been fed throughout the 80's where 60's newies was the mantra and each DJ did his bit to find the next big thing. The attitude of those who went was there in so far as we had a good night out socially, nowhere else to go kinda thing but the attitude of the DJ's of the previous decade definately wasn't there. It was as though they missed out that decade completely bar the biggies and returned to oldies completely. It would only be a year or two and the mass influx of returnees and a lack of diversity even amongs the oldies.

    Keele for me was the beginning of the end, a return to mass oldies. Great venue, great record bar and a bloody good laugh but musically a massive step backwards.

    Apparently it was picked up at a record fair in the US for $20! Almost mint as well.

    She left the stage in tears apparently, totally overwhelmed by the fantastic reception she received. It must be one of the best greetings I've heard given to an artist in along time at a weekender.

    Freddie Scott was £25 in one box at the weekend.

    Yes I have met her and I know a few tales about her too. She stopped with mates of mine when she came over here to perform. Again, a DJ forty years later on another continent playing a second hand record isn't the industry is it that has ripped her off!!
  20. Chalky
    I know you did Ian. I simply don't see how some can liken a DJ playing a forty year old second hand record in another country 1000's of miles away the same as the record industry that ripped the artist off.

    There are some great Unsung documentaries. Marvin Gaye, The Life and Death is on BBC4 this coming Friday.

    I have the templates for 7 inch large and small hole and for 12 inch, they are adobe illustrator documents.

    Most venues pay their license for entertainment as far as I am aware Ian but that is between the venue and the authorities. As for ripping the artist off a DJ isn't depriving them of any record sales income, they were paid what they agreed at the time. We're talking 40 year old second hand records!! As Dave said some really do need to lighten up a bit here. As for Betty, she has probably had more exposure because of the UK soul scene. Most of the artists receive little or no recognition for what they did back in the US. I know many artists who are more than grateful what UK Dj's and promoters have done for them.
  24. Chalky
    And just what would Betty LaVette do about a DJ covering her record up if that ever was to happen?

    Tim Fletcher (TOAD on here) has or had an issue.
