  1. A man who's glass is definitely half full
  2. Beat me to it......Fantastic! My current fave for an ender is Arthur Alexander 'Show Me The Way'
  3. And as mentioned on a previous thread he also played Jimmy Cobb 'So That Nobody Else Will Hear' Superb! It was always gonna be a toss up between this and Terry Callier 'Ordinary Joe' as the ender at Saints Club in St Helens the latter won and anyone who went there will know what that meant. BazM
  4. Saturday for me this week Then I'll be up for Friday on the 21st . I do think staistically less people travel on the Fridays for Nighters and always have done due to work commitments. But there does seem to be good support on this thread for Friday nighters, Saturday edging the vote at the mo though
  5. Took me nearly two years to get a subscription sorted. Come thru OK now but as a potential advertiser that experience and this thread does not instill confidence, pity; cause it has to be said, that IMHO this mag is suberb.............shame really! Come on guys sort it out and prosper

  8. Planet of the Apes?
  9. Played the 45 version at Lowton last night..... Packed the floor. personally think both versions are playable out but the 45 does have the edge ............Monster Record!
  10. We have, mines spelt 'busy' AND considering what you've just posted maybe we've got a different definition of the word 'empty'
  11. Quite simple really........They're NOT always empty! First off let me be clear of MY personal definition of 'Modern Soul' here, it's nothing made in the seventies, nothing made in the eighties, maybe a little bit of ninties but definitely music made in the noughties, all tempos, all styles, Indie, Southern, Soulful Garage but SOULFUL through voice or vibe. If you accept that definition and are not expecting to hear Charles Johnson or Driza Bone, then you need to visit Prestwich (two rooms Northern and Modern) where the 'Modern' room is packed EVERY month. Then if that's not enough try Stoke this weekend (Two Rooms Nothern and Modern) the Modern Room was very busy last time and will be again on Saturday. Failing that try BURY on the 19th (two rooms Northern and Modern) cause that'll be a busy Modern Room as well. If you cant make any of them then maybe you could try Fleetwood Marine Hall on the 27th (two rooms Northern and Modern) and the Modern Room will be FAR from empty there. These gigs are just off the top of my head and demonstrate that the 'Modern' Rooms as described in the initial post are far from empty. QED BazM
  12. Current spin at Prestwich and t'Orwell, wonderful tune, Gloria just tips it for me. BazM
  13. Really went with this at the late lamented and sadly missed 'Howard' sessions, became a floorfiller down there, only really heard it out since in this neck of the woods at the Orwell BazM
  14. Quality show Mark, as always, definitely going out on a high. Best wishes for the future BazM
  15. Richard is gonna be behind the decks in the Northern room at Prestwich on Sept 7th and if the kind of records he's talkin about playin are anything to go by it's gonna be well worth a look-see BazM
  16. hi Mark Please wish him all the best from me BazM
  17. Not as 'exotic' as some of the locations mentioned (except maybe Barry May in TK Maxx in Wigan! The secrets out Mate ) but Barclays bank have just played 'Sliced Tomatoes' for me while I was on hold.....made me smile BazM
  18. Bob Hinsley is playing this again, he played it at Prestwich last month sounded gr8
  19. Bobby Hill - To the Bitter End and Tell Me You Love Me Chuck Bernard My Baby and She's Already Married Billy Sha-Rae Do it and Crying Clown Moses Smith Come On Let Me Love You and Keep On Striving BazM
  20. Hi It's from the Shaft (remake) movie soundtrack CD on Arista BMG Hope this helps BazM

    Rare 45s

    Hi John SR played at the Orwell great record
  22. Thanks Sean....Coincidently, the theme of this thread was/is exactly my intention at Morecambe, basically to play SH in a smaller room on the back of a Nighter and not to encroach into the main room. Nothing really new there and as Barry May has said in a previous post 'just mixed it up with quality soul music' and IMHO it worked. Really enjoyed it, it was the right place to do it, and the people who were there seemed to really enjoy it, therefore i'll be looking to do it some more at forthcomming gigs, so hopefully as far as it goes positively 'watch this space' Gotta say though it definitely needs to be 'tune' and 'substance' over just matching beats
