  1. Merry Christmas .and hope you all have a soul full 2019. Steve
  2. Think your looking about £600 these days Steve
  3. Nice choices. Hope you're enjoying the journey behind them turntables. Rule No 1 . Never try to understand people on here We all have weird senses of humour ..... sick in most cases . Just nod your head and agree / disagree which ever way , they won't know the difference but don't take the comments to heart because there's always someone winding up something or other. But enjoy your self Rule No 2. Repeat rule No 1 Steve
  4. Sorry tigger I've got no more likes left so I had to comment
  5. As most replies have said they dont have any set ones it all depends on the night.
  6. Stunning photographs Andy. My youngest son Thomas has been doing Snowdon a lot recently. Llanberris- summit- Llanberris 5 hours. Grib coch route had to climb down when a storm blew in and managed to rescue a trapped American lady on the way down. The joys of being 25 years old Forgot about this picture of Thomas on the infamous Crib Goch ridge earlier this year Steve
  7. The box with all dovetail joints was hand made by a good friend who was a carpenter. Mark sadly passed away earlier this year but the box along with the plaque fitted on the inside that Mark and Pam had engraved to me will be treasured for ever. I've even started buying records again , so as the box is in use again. Steve
  8. Records Len records. Hat, coat, door. Bye Steve
  9. Julian. can guess who they where and knowing there sense of humour like you do, deliberate mischief springs to mind. Steve
  10. Always get to the venue early so as to make a mental note of what they play before you. Unless your DJ at soul night then nighter. Always time for mischievous behaviour when that happens. Stand on stage then just as the DJ about to play a record, tell him it's been played before he got there. Priceless when you tell him it hasn't after he's spent ten seconds panicking about what to play when he only has 8 seconds to pick something else. Steve
  11. Me too mate Steve
  12. I normally took a 300 box with a bit of everything alphabetically. I.e. grabbing the front A same from B etc, then next time grabbing middle of the A, B and so on . Seemed to work for me. I was lucky enough to be able to get / buy records that I liked above all else so I did have a idea what was going into the box from knowing what i owned. Never bought a record that I didn't like or never played one that I wouldn't dance to myself Steve
  13. Exactly mate. I never planned anything until I got on stage then it would be the 1st record that I played just to compliment the last record from the previous set ,then went with what the mood of the place took me obviously flowing from one to the next never 100 mph to mid tempo , slowly but surely up or down or whatever way the dancing dictated. Sometimes 100 mph full set, sometimes 70,s sometimes mid tempo, more often than not a cross the board set but always dance floor dictated Steve
  14. Post deleted . Sorry Russell.. Steve
  15. Post deleted. Sorry Russell Steve
  16. The greatest end record since the Casino closed has got to be Terry Callier. Ordinary Joe. It was played to end the night at probably the best soul night ever. Saints. It was dedicated to the people that are not around anymore including my Mum who passed away on the Friday 20 th December night that Saints was on. Ironically 23 years ago next Thursday. Barry. Flanny. Mark & Annette take a bow. Steve
  17. Just added it to my home screen. Thanks for the information Steve
  18. R.I.P. Nancy. . The end of our love is forever etched on my heart, memories of the Casino . Steve
  19. I played it once or twice at Winsford. Steve
  20. Exactly why you need a sound engineer or equipment supplier that knows what to do when the DJ,s start messing around with the controls Steve
  21. Acoustics change a lot over the course of the night. Winsford was a classic example. Record bar at the back was divided off from the main hall with massive curtains which when closed absorbed so much sound it was mad, plus when the venue filled up, again massive sound absorption. Hence the need for a sound engineer. Plus ban the DJ,s from messing around with the controls on the mixer decks, that makes a big difference Steve
  22. How can you start a DJ set with records that you have planned. Follow your heart. Not a plan. Steve
  23. Looking good my friend. Looking good. Soon be sorted
  24. Mike. You didn't include the price you want for it. Steve
