My turn Monday night......29th March.......7pm-9pm.....see you there!! Cheers, Mark R

Just to let you good folk on here know, I have x4 spare 12's of either Kenny Bobien or Stephanie Cooke material for sale, which I am bringing along to Prestatyn this weekend. These are ideal to get signed by the artists over the weekend!! I'm at work at present, so can't remember prices, but from memory I can tell you that the 12's in question are: Kenny & Friends - You Are My Friend (US Cover) Kenny Bobien - Right Away (US Spiritually Sound) Stephanie Cooke - Holding On To Your Love (US King Street) Stephanie Cooke - Rain Let It All Come Down (I think this is the Part 2 remixes) (US King Street) (STILL SEALED) If you're interested in any of these give me a shout over the weekend. Cheers, Mark R

I have a UK 7" and a US 12"......can confirm 7" is in picture bag! Cheers, Mark R

You sure will Nick...........and I'm hoping I'll be hyper after the modern live acts at Prestatyn!! Cheers, Mark R

No mate.....it's thank you for taking the trouble..............and getting posh now eh?........into podcasting!! As a general point this thread is well viewed, albeit it's been around a while now so that could mean nothing, BUT there a very few replies. That's not a complaint at all.......I'm not the sort that needs lots of "comfort strokes", but it would be nice to know how many listen to these shows......especially on this forum???? Cheers, Mark R

So that's this coming Monday 25th January for the usual mix up of styles and tempo's as we look back at some goodies from 2009. Do hope some of you can join me. Cheers, Mark R

It was indeed, but it's very definitely a pop record don't you think!! Cheers, Mark R

Hey Mart...........it's not an issue of them working, it's the overuse and reliance on them and the established tunes that I take issue with, especially when good, original new releases struggle for needletime as a result. Cheers, Mark R

Hey Pete......how are you keeping anyway mate? Been too long!! Seems a long time ago now, those Winsford all nighters and you with your red wine frenzies!! LOL! Hope you're well mate......would be great to catch up with you again. Cheers, Mark R

With hindsight Andy, I painted a bleaker picture than is the reality.............of course there are oasis in the desert.....it's not quite that bad!! Some notable events around of course. Cheers, Mark R

Yes Andy.......you know that I know the reality......or I would hope you do!............so yes, in some (not all - Ron Carroll for instance) of my posts it is more about wish than reality, but I am in one of my "low" phases musically (don't get me wrong by that statement, I have continually plenty of great new release music here) as I see mash-ups/classics proliferating gigs and playlists and often find it a bit disappointing. Perhaps it needs stripping back to a group of diehards with a small-ish following to push things along again.....I dunno........I suppose to put it into context with what the majority on here can identify with, a bit like an end of Wigan/start of Stafford scenario............the 60's Newies brigade, but with new releases. Too many people that were once kings of all they surveyed progression wise, now going through the motions and that in turn having a negative effect on things perhaps? I dunno......I'm just thinking out loud......perhaps I shouldn't care or bother myself with it!! Cheers, Mark R
