Obviously, if the fella in question is not giving a varied set - which appears to be the problem given the recurrence of that statement in this thread.

In relation to having more dj's.

Right, I'm obviously disappearing up me own...."PHOOT!"

i That's what a dj should be able to do though, no!? Yes, but how long would he get away with being booked if he made you feel that way?

Given, but you know that in general jocks showcase certain stuff within that first hour and how often do you see anyone go down any other route?

Same old, same old then (I knew it would be really love ). Yeah, please keep in touch and abreast of your's and 'Darlings' antics - me boards back up if you need to catch me. Oh! And I'd leave the hernia bit, it's a no-no.

There's something about that that doesn't quite read right - but I'll leave it.

I'll give you a tenner for it?

Not a bad idea, it always seems to work on other scenes as you are always trying to best the last record played. I've just pictured Searling and Sam, one on - one off - now that's funny - just think of the techno fear involved with Sam meeting the Uber-cool Soul Dog.

I paid someone who frequents here for some stuff off Ebay and forgot to put the postage in, hence I never got the records (completely my fault may I add!), anyone??

I understand why venues and promoters of smaller venues do it, I've done it meself but there seems to be no shaking the routine on the NS scene.

As someone stated earlier on the NS scene the records/productions stand up on their own, therefore how much 'dj' are you actually seeing - yes, they may have a fantastic mic manner etc but is al lot of the hard work done by the scarcity/hot-box-ness of the vinyl they play and not their soulful musical versatilty?

I would think you were barking if you named individuals Pete. I hear where you're coming from but I do think the formatting of nighters need a shake up - it's like 15 records, clap and off, thanks very much. The scene has all these empassioned collectors and none of 'em appear to me to be utilised to their fullest, think of where they could go given the time. It's a waste.

Okay. If that's the case then Chalky is right by stating that the ones that are unable to hold a floors attention over and above their comfort zone should drop by the wayside?

You're still talking sense to me.

I'm not having a pop, I see what you are saying. Maybe that's why NS jocks are best left to an hour, as they are unable to keep a cross section of people happy for longer than an hour!?

Isn't that a bit of a damning statement?

I remeber Ms Uggams palying a part in Magnum P.I. when he had that series incorporating US musical stars - pretty lady. https://movies.msn.com/movies/movie/magnum-pi-paradise-blues/

I've played there, it's not a nice space is it.

I agree.

£5.45 a second.

I'm not copping out but I prefer whichever venue has the most people in that 'give a shit' - which could mean a venue with 30 in it.

I've fell foul of this, a 'mate' of 22 years ended up in me face with his fists up as he thought he should have been given the set after the one he got. I used to brush up and put the tables out at certain venues before happily playing records (for nowt).

Oh don't drag it into that territory lads - it's a bloody question that's all.
