Paul-s

Perhaps you could tell us which bits you did'nt like. Elaborate on a few scenes etc?

Lack of education is no excuse, if your going to have an opinion Ken, at least articulate it. Why is a play bad...is the Brechtian concept of agitprop you disagree with or do YOU wish I had made it more Stanislavkian in its method? I mean , what is your great critical claim based on. Perhaps, you would like to compare it to some of the may other productions you have seen?

Thanks Shane....there just a bit jealous and sad....I forgive them. Thing is, its all the ones who didnt actually see it! Opinions based on their own limited or non-existant experience of theatre.

It was called 'Once Upon A Time In Wigan'. I got some of your B--tl-g dvd's to use in some of the documentary footage. Did you actually see the play? Or is this just a dogmatic, couch Bigot having a rant?

Well if you actually saw it mate...fair enough! thats an opinion. Guess if were talking arts, you disagree with ALL the books, pictures, photos and films aswell. And documentaries. Thats your way of perceiving the world. Dont get me wrong, black and white works for some people! obviously floats your boat! There were record companies etc that tried to commandere the play and change it and I resisted that , as all I wanted to do was pay tribute to a period that changed my life and the face of music in the U.K. FULL STOP. I could have the play out now and have been asked to. It could make a lot of money...BUT, I dont want that. I told the truth in the play, warts and all. If you read some of Mr W books, theres not even a mention of drugs etc...its been cleaned up as a commercial and sanitized enterprise. Cheesy...well, thanks for your very informed opinion of theatre.....the words cheese and theatre dont actually go together. You obviously frequent with Ken (is that Russell?) the great West End plays...'Cats'...'Les Miserable' etc...and, whilst appreciating you penchant for these plays, I dont feel it fair to compare 'Once Upon A Time In Wigan' to these . A neanderthol appreciation of the arts , is no reason to feel you can articulate regarding something you probably have'nt even seen! I look forward to your learned contributions to this great scene of ours in the future.

Jealousy is such a terrible symptom of life for some my overweight friend!

HA!! nice .

....nice that some people want to be a parody of their former self! Guess there's a LOT of commercial enterprise to protect and milk.....MOOOOOOOOVE on!

LONG LIVE Spagetti Weston!! TOP NOTCH!

they all get soul in their own little way::plain and simple:::: ALL.....I dont think so.....some look bored sh....tless with their own spots! Some, even leave the event as soon as they have done their spot. That doesn't tell me that they are enjoying the night.

Any examples of non dancing DJs that fit the bill?

Chic and Chris Morgan....great dancers and great dj's!! Mr Hennigan is a good mover aswell! And he's dug up a few tunes...

Ive seen Butch dance and he's a v good dancer too!! how about getting dynamite tunes and because you dance yourself and those tunes make 'your' feet move...........everyone else will follow!?

JOHN WESTON...Fookin hell mate. He's never off the floor!! Thats why he IS one of my favourite dj's. When you book people like John, they bring more than JUST A BOX OF TUNES to a night. They bring 'soul' and the desire to party and have a good time. Not stand around, pontificating and looking bored!!

YES they do....my point was, I often see people djing and the record has'nt even entered their own body...they just stand there...not even a foot tap!! Surely a record should MOVE you in some way. Guess they are the internal types!

THINK I HAVE THE AL GARDNER ......WILL CHECK THIS AFTERNOON!!

Having been on this scene for nearay 30 years, I would just like to see what peoples opinions are on dj's and dancing. I myself have often heard tunes and thought 'f--k me' how do you dance to that. Then when i've looked to see who's playing it, it's a non-dancing dj. I, personally, only play tunes that inspire ME to dance and hope that others feel the same way! But, I often look up at the decks to see one or, at some venues, ten! people standing around looking at the record admiringly....BUT it does'nt seem to infiltrate their bodies! Im not saying its a pre-requisite of dj'ing, but its an interesting point!

FORTUNATELY Joan has been playing it at DDA!!

....NICE ONE

...soul....London.....Uh!......?

Ive got one for sale for £40
