I've set up another free account, bit more bandwidth than last one. Will still be looking at a paid for one soonish. The new site is >>>HERE<<< please don't download if you've already done so lets a few others get it that way

Some of those at the top are where they are for the collections they have, some are there simply cause they spend a lot of money, nothing to do with being a professional DJ or how professional they are. In every profession others are often over looked, many a good footballer, better than many who make it are over looked cause they are too small??

still not got round to sorting a paid for account out yet, dunno whether to bother or not but if you have apple quicktime on your PC, there is a plug in for firefox then you can listen >>>HERE<<< (I think )

wouldn't mind seeing the show mesen!! Anyone recording the radio show? Just in case I don't get to listen?

He's done some great work and has some fabulous shots. I used one of Jacob for the Sir Lattimore article I did One thing I've noticed with the stages over there compared to hear is the lighting is far superior.

not 100% sure, dont recall hearing any female in the records.

ah well, look like having to wait till I set up a paid for account elsewhere.

see if you can listen >>>>HERE<<<<

There are too many who are at the so called top cause they spend a lot of money and not for the thought or imagination that they put into their sets. Not many will stick their necks out over a tune and play it cause they believe in it and it could be or will be a top record on the scene. Many play ready made biggies playing records each other already have and play. I find many of the smaller DJ's play better sets but because they cost a fraction of the price of a well known established DJ then folk don't want to know. I find it is those that who will take a chance and stick their neck out over a record are the ones who get accused of playing to themselves. Many of these little people have paid their dues in some respects, some have better collections and have been collecting longer than established names. I agree a DJ's job is to inspire and entertain but it is also the job of a Dj and the promoter to keep this scene alive and moving forward, attracting younger blood who probably aren't interested in listening to the same records for 30 years.

There is the Enchanters on Tee Pee, Atco etc??

I love snippets of useless information. I've been meaning to start a topic just for snippets like this, stuff too small for a topic of its own.

here's one of my shots of Darrow at Cleethorpes... you can see more at my flickr page, link in my signature.

Derek Pearson with special guest Chalky - Shades Of Soul 14 August 2010 -

I've been away all week, not been home long, will have a go a bit later.

Hi Nev I've read all you have said and agree with it all Anyone who books Butch and expects anything less that what you describe is either a fool or is new to the scene. Maybe the smaller DJ is an easier target?

There's no need to spell it out, I fully understood what you were saying. I was simply saying I thought it was a bit cheeky to say you couldn't be bothered to post on all the sites you use yet use one of those site to plug what you are doing elsewhere. I wish you would bother cause I rarely use Youtube, as said a lot of the stuff on there simply gets lost. As Martin said, most of those you are aiming your music at are on here. As Martin said please do bother I'll go and have a listen to your video page as well!

I don't know many Dj's who play to themselves. often the wrong DJ is booked for the crowd in attendance by the promoter and if a DJ takes a certain type of record, records he or she has been asked to play then the fault does not lie at the door of the DJ. And Butch does play requests if it fits within his sets and plans. he's played many at Lifeline.

I'd be surprised if stuff like Chaumonts and LJ.Reynolds isn't already in refosoul. Why would you have to upload a track 4 times? Once on here and once on YouTube is twice is it not. I would prefer refosoul as I find watching a video of a label for two and a half minutes boring. At least with refosoul I can carry on reading. Like Mossy said it takes just a few minutes to put a track in refosoul. you can't be bothered to post in refosoul yet use the site to advertise you tube???

this one was 64mb when first recorded, had to reduce to less than 30 for podbean site, think it was 26/28mb. You get a fixed allowance per month storage and bandwidth, bandwidth gone in 3 days looking to upgrade to a paid for account or set up my own site, whichever is the cheapest

sound-files are in post number 39, think it was Derek Pearson who originally put them in refosoul.

Have definitely used up my bandwidth allowance and for what it cost to pay for podcast site (still with certain restrictions to bandwidth etc) I can pay for web space and set up my own site, complete with blogs etc. So gonna get busy with iweb, get it designed and stuff added then upload the lot. Will attempt to put the first podcast in refosoul as I think size wise it is ok.
