great tune

going back to the TUMBLEWEED MOMENT .why are so many djs getting afraid that when they play a record people walk off.

so true that dancing is sometimes fueled by booze,bit sad but true.i once heard ed bruce "im gonna have a party" at a local notts do and thought this is gonna go down well really shocked to see the floor full.that was late on, i bet if it was 8.30-9-30 times it would have been a no no

nor me all im saying is that i think some venues could be better and bigger if they just,lets say,let their hair down, i dont go to many places now,the places i do like i.e the attic which some people slag do actually play oldies,might not be the same oldies as the other places but they certainly do play um and you can have a dance if you want to and yes they will get better because alot of people are a bit fed up with dj hot boxes and the same old stuff. so untill the next tj williams comes along looks like we shall have to agree to disagree

i never said it was wrong i think its a shame that they cant give the other tunes a chance and maybe then make the place bigger and better.You cant tell me that the likes of carl and ian woudnt like to see their venues rammed each month,i know i would. As it stands they just like doing what they do which is fair enough but there is so much more that can be had from the scene. Going back to the tj williams DJs have got to realise that a hot box will not always work.As it is its places like the attic,bidds alnighter and pisley that will flourish because of what they do

i just cant get my head around the fact that people want to listen to the same old stuff week in week in nottingham or surrounding areas.I like oldies as do most people i should imgine, but there are 100s if not 1000s of 45s that would go down well at alot of these events but its just seems that if they dont know it they dont want to know.I bought a 45 off ian gee because he played it and it cleared the floor.Nice of him to give it a chance,maybe a few spins at other dos would have done and worked it in that way but no because his little band of oldies army didnt like it off to the sales list it went.As i said i just dont get it

why do alot of people think all oldies are/have to be 100mph

this is where the scene has gone a bit wrong.Djs being told what they can and cant play.As for the likes of kingsway hall and the forest town when are they going to move on a little,lets face it 45s like bobby hebb,vel-vets, etc etc,although great 45s are still fookin boring even for an oldies do. going back,promoters asking,telling djs what to play i think is wrong,they either dont trust the dj or they have no confidence in their event.It was never like this,you went to a soul do and a djs played soul,nowdays its all to business like and thats where its going wrong

i dont think anyone is,on the same note "djs" are not payed to bore paying punters with over and out played tunes.t j williams is great tune,as said had one myself but as with alot of tunes today everyone plays the same stuff and they quickly become boring.A good mainstream dj should not have to rely on a hot box and when it fails come on here moaning as to why punters arent dancing to their records

either one would get the chim stroking going in notts .Both tracks where big spins down the union trent side in the early days and as some of us know the union was a no go for handbaggers

hey up bazza,dont think "some good...." has been played as much as t j williams,which is played everywhere you go.its becoming boring.I sold mine a year ago to local dj mick boyle because i was sick of hearing it. if we had more djs that were a bit more individual,then records like t j williams wouldn't become boring.Right im off back in me pit to try and get rid of this stinking cold

got all his BB stuff and my eyes arent working this morning,just out of interest does it get played out much,i think its a superb 45.

i have a backbeat promo which has 3 Xs in brackets so i assume its the 'A' the flip is called " close to my heart " SORRY "PLEASE" looking at the wrong joe hinton 45
