Bang on the money, Sound system matches it. Martins 15 inch speakers x 4. We took advice on the output. So powerful no need to use base bins as the speakers cope with the range of sound. Which is amazing. Bought new headshells and styluses for the Techincs 1210's. Enjoy it Mick. 

Not an easy task going back. Trying to reinstate those long lost days. We are trying hard. Our DJ line-ups certainly attract characters not seen in quite a while. We do it differently. We are going to continue to do so. 

AKA Ed Battin

I could not think of a better Venue, Crowd or Event than Tiffany’s to get back behind the wheels of steel. 

It’s a privilege to have been asked to be a guest DJ in July! 

I won’t go on about Tiffany’s soul club , it’s promotors aims or policy , other than saying to many that know me personally ( from a life in “ the rare soul scene “ in all its eras ) or by site attending event’s wherever they are !! 

You need to be there and be a part of an Experience and joy !

That is All about Soul , The crowd , the DJs , connecting through the music in that moment with an atmosphere that fuels our passion and thirst for Soul in our lives ! Special memories to those there at that moment in that place and no others !! 

Those who know will know !! 

A Bold statement and opinion Eh !

That I have to back up as

Ed Battin the DJ with my choice of tunes when and how they’re played live on the night! No pressure then ! lol

To justify the faith of the lads in booking me to DJ I’ll step out of my comfort zone and the shadows! lol

With some background and Self promotion of Ed Battin the DJ !

 To me DJing is a craft , learned with practice over time! 

Which I was blessed to begin in my early teens with guidance from one of my closest lifelong friends Martyn Ellis , ( a pain in the arse but ultimate Live DJ on our scene) since when I’ve played alongside most of who are often considered as the best among the rare/northern scenes over many years. Many becoming good friends through our shared passion for Soul !

No point in irrelevant Name Dropping lol but will say the respect is mutual and appreciated to this day!

Some of the Clubs and events I be played as resident , regular or guest DJ include  

Tony’s Empress Ballroom and many other MYK events run by Mick n Scotty McGreggor

Soultown All-nighters - Sheridans, 

Windsford Civic - in both rooms

( for my good mates Sam, Steve and Dave ). 

Bretby Country Club ( for my good mate Sam Moore )

New Century sc events for Chris & Marcel 

Llandudno All-nighters and Alldayers.

Soulfeet All-nighters- starlight club Leister( as a resident for my mate Stuart with DJs you may know Guy , Keb , Dave , Davey and my baby soul sister Jane ! 

Prestatyn weekender ( for Andy and the soultown boys )

Niel Rushtons awesome Newquay Weekenders and Soulution events 

Edinburgh soul weekenders at the Minto with Zander , Soul Sam , Ginger , and many of the outstanding Scottish DJs of the highest calibre

Penicuik Alldayers - Scotland

and countless nights events and parties too many to list ! 

Often with misspelled or wrong name on fliers like Baltic Barton ( Tony’s fliers lol) , Batty etc. a source of amusement I never bothered to correct . 

Because as a DJ it’s about being up there playing the tunes connecting with the Crowd in a set that flows and builds on the dance floor to leave All wanting more from the next dj or next event ! 

 It’s not about Collections or value of records ! 

As a great tune is heard as a great tune whether £5 or £ 5000 ! 

It’s about sharing our Love of Soul music- hearing- dancing for enjoyment, creating or recalling memories of great events and people ! Only known to those attending events feeling that buzz and pleasure Soul music brings to our lives !

Whether Friends who’ve heard me play and want more or those intrigued by my message - agreeing or not! Be there on the Night to hear feel and enjoy What I as a DJ and Tiffany’s Soul Club are all about !! 

Wow Bold Words !! 

and my first Self Promotion! 

Now I’d better Step up n Deliver! lol 

See You on the Dance floor !!!

Cheers Ed  

Comments ,feedback and opinions ( good or bad ) welcome, but keep it civil !

Great to catch up with few Lancastrians. 

Not seen Glen and Mary for 5 years. Nice chat with Penni and Few others. 

Couple of photos taken on the night. Came home just after 11 as my hands were tingling. So left as precaution.

George Falzon will be warming up the Evening.

Having attended Tiffany's on all 3 occasions.  Knows the script 

Yes we don't really like to willy wave. Though it's worth a note . We have an original Tony's Empress DJ who sets up our sound equipment Ed Battin.  So basically. It's sound perfection for DJs. The floor it's a dream to dance on. You just have to come witness and dance your socks off .

Thank you for the invite Peter. See ye Friday pal. 

Many thanks,

We have taken advise from day one regarding sound output. Dave Caffrey gave invaluable advise and expertise, Ed Battin who puts it all together loves the system we use. Output is reigned in as it could blow roof off. We tried different configuration with Macsound speakers for event you attended. Seemed to take it to new bar level. With background knowledge from our team of resident DJs and staff, Denis Billingham,  Kev McCaffrey with Anita Brown. We will endeavour to provide a night like dancers have craved for. This venue supplies it. 

Thanks for the invite. Will be there.
