Not in any of your lots league but remember going to a regular Thursday night do at the Gables Country Club in Theddlethorpe , Lincs. and me and a mate always used to go behind the decks of the two geezers who were doing the disco and have a look through their records. We must have got on their tits a bit to be honest , saying "can you play this " and "can you play that" , all boots & Motown stuff. This one night they decided they were both going to the bar and for a p*ss etc. and said "here you go Swifty , put on what you like .
Looked at my mate and said "oh shit" , dug out Little Darling - Marvin Gaye , put it on the deck as the next record then proceeded to press a couple of buttons on the mike (as last record was finishing) and said to my mate "How the fook do you turn this mike on " , yes it was already on and the whole place heard me , but the thing I never realised was that utter feeling of fear when the DJ's walked away , well done you proper DJ's . RESPECT !
Also got a last minute request to do a Motown night at my local Cons Club, thing was the only Motown I had at the time were UK Box Set & Loads of UK LP's , took them all and when I got there the DJ Unit was just 2 Decks with no lights , so had to put the records on with my lighter in the other hand as my eyesight is shite
