Hi Flynny yes that's the one

Hi, glad you did not get into the possible argument about venues, just want to say that I really like the event and the promoters are really good people. I would also thank them for giving me the opportunity to DJ ( which I don't get to do very often) even though they knew that I would play some records that are not necessarily usual plays.

Thanks for the comments Rob, yes maybe today they are tapping their toes, tomorrow they might be dancing

Hi Tezza, thanks for the comments yesterday and today, my feelings exactly.

Hi Ady thanks for your constructive feedback, on a couple of occasions I did change the next record that I was going to play in order to ensure people were not sat around scratching their chins for too long

Thanks for the reply Jordi, I did/do still have faith in the records I played, but am interested in what others think. Cheers Jimmy

Hi, apologies if this topic has been done previously, but I just wanted to get a few views on this question. Was recently DJing and although I played a set that included records that I have not heard played out over recent years, In fact some that I have not heard out for many years, none were what I would call obscure or really rare. A couple of times the dance floor cleared and a couple of times there were only a few people dancing. Someone has commented that when this happened I should have changed the record half way through, I assume for something that I knew would fill the floor. My question is if you are a DJ do you change a record part way through because no one/ or few people are dancing, or if you are a dancer and do not know/like the record would you expect the record to be changed half way through. I replied with my thoughts to the comments made, but I would just be interested to read what others think. I look forward to your comments, Thanks Jimmy

Thanks Bridgey, totally agree about Curtis Blandon

I really love Frank Lyndon, takes me back to when I first started going to all nighters in the seventies Cheers Jimmy

Hi Can anyone tell me if Al Foster, "Night Of The Wolf" on Numero Uno is a boot or a genuine issue. Cheers Jimmy

Hi Stu yes got to agree with both of these nighters, a lot of great records played My favourite from Morcambe Randy Brown Always In the Mood, It's amazing how many people don't know this record

Hi Pat, you might remember me, Jimmy from Halifax, I have a sister called Marie. We used to travel to Venues in the back of a van owned by Teddy from Burnley, along with Terry and Gary Taylor along with several others. Enjoyed your do's as well as many others including Morcambe Peir, Parr hall Warrington. Great days indeed. Hope you are well. Jimmy

I remember Ivor very well, he promoted a lot of events including some great allnighters at Brighouse Civic Hall, all dayers and nighters at the YMCA in Halifax. He also did some promoting with Pat Allen. A real nice guy with some great records for sale

Yep 85, Maxims, most emotional part of the night for me was when someone played Walk With a Winner, the atmosphere was absolutely electric and brought tears to my eyes.

Just watched this while listening to Bari Track, fitted to a tea

Reading through this thread just highlights what fantastic music has been produced by Motown, again higlighting the diversity of Northern and motown would have to include Ruben Howell - Can't Stop a Man in Love Marvin Gaye - Lonely Lover Edwin Starr - Running Back And Forth Absolutely brilliant records

Some great intros already mentioned, my addition is Soulsville Allstars - I'm Gonna Get to You, excellent

Also have the LJB version which I love as much as Ray Pollard. It is an absolute classic piece of soul, and a brilliant story in the song

3 to add from me Ann Byers - Here I Am Chuck Jackson - I Only Get This Feeling Gentlemen And Their Ladies - Like Her 3 in a row to get the heart pumping

Thanks Tony, thought so.

Just shows you can't please everyone, a record that still has some great memories for me, and a record that really used to get the dancefloors bouncing.
