Hold Tight

There is an artist by that name that is an elvisalike singer - used to sing his own stuff I believe but also covered elvis, jumpsuit an all.

Ahh, I see. Wonder what the kids of today will remember about their lives today in 27 years time. Probably naff all in comparison.

Dept of trading standards? they might like to know.

Not a waste of time though. I remembers those days and the cracking niters on the rallys. Many people who I speak to today don't seem to believe that it could have ever been so! Still there loss in many ways as almost twenty years on form that article I still enjoy both. The article could almost have been written for today given the threads that have appeared over the last few months on both subjects. top marks Supercorsa. Mark.

I am game Adam, been digging out a lot of late 70's and 80's if youre ok with that?

Blimey, picked up a few copies about 6 months ago at 3 or 4 quid each.

Cracking track in my opion - and probably would fetch a few quid, £20 or so maybe more. Mark.

Saw Smokin Joe last year in November just before the 1st anniversary do we held at the venue. Apparently he comes and stays there when he is attending boxing galas in the area. small world really.

7 inch is the lp version as far as I know.

I to have a spare copy - unopened and unplayed.

I should coco.

perhaps we should all go round and help him look!

Bingo - thats the ones. I tend to be thick most days so no worries.

pm'd you Sean.

Hi Paul, not yet but if I do you were first on my list.

Can anyone give me an idea of the price of a seven inch single of Stay by the temptations. Released in 98? ta Mark.

Sorry - misunderestandiong by me being to lazy to type a full explanation. It was meant to suggest that those nights aimed at farming people through the doors in vast numbers whilst selling them every accoutrement required for the full experience, appear to be the ones that are more guilty of allowing tracks to be played several times over the course of a night. An oldies night can be run with passion and not have repeat plays of a track by various DJ's - after all there are more than 500 tracks to choose from. The first date in my signature will be an oldies and stompers night by request of the people who attend it. The Dj's will know that the same rules apply and they will do their utmost to ensure that they do no replay a track unless there is a very good reason. So many appologies for the misunderstanding and happy days with all those lovely tunes that need to be aired.

The general gist of this thread does appear to be pointing the finger squarely at commercial type nights. How strange that the venues and nights run with a bit of passion appear to care about the music and scene in general - or is it? Past glories or forward thinkers. No where I'd go.

Heres mine at Isle of Man 03 - still in the garage and gets taken out occasionally - bit like the wife! Must have had this one for 15 or so years and resprayed it in 2001.

Perhaps promoters should have a pretty good idea of the types of sounds played by DJ's they book and book a selection of people who play different styles/types/tracks to compliment rather than copy?

Cracking track - can any one give me a steer on the album title? ta Mark.

Heretic.

Both sensible words. I love the quote Nusha -spot on. Matt hit the nail on the head as well- in that its not always geographical distance - it can be area based and crowd specific. Personally I say good luck to all those who want to promote - it can be a nightmare and it can be the sweetest feeling going when it all goes right in the end and people enjoy themselves.Because in the end that is what its about, not a pissing match to see who has what. Mark.

End of the night/beginning of the morning - music fades you open your eyes to see other bewildered dancers on the floor? Or is it to righteous brothers for most?
