Quite right steve got a few ideas as to what i want thanks for those who pm`d, it has turned into a bit of a trumpet blowing hero worshiping thread really, but got a few good ideas many thanks all, think this has run its course mike

whilst at work my younger brother had picked the lock on my record box, was playing my records and KNELT on my AL WILLIAMS WHITE DEMO CRACKED RIGHT ACROSS

This is a very good point, paul,god ive seen some boring fookers over the years, then again was at a do many years ago a lad was djing recordwise nothing too special but what a fantastic dj turned the whole night round in one hour, the whole night became a complete success after that the attitude of the crowd changed, thats the type of person i`d want as a dj

Thanks ernie, getting a few ideas together

PEG LEG MOFFETT- now that stirs some memories pete, not heard that one for years

Some good suggestions here fellow sourcers, my mates allways rattling on about johnny fingers, thanks for all the info peeps, gave me a few options, any more of course would be greatly apprieciated

two rooms kirsty so hoping for something for all in that context of things

I`m at present organising a allnighter in the north east of england fo next year and will be shortly putting together a list of dj`s for the event, along with the usual suspects for allnighters, i`m looking for someone who needs to break onto the nighter djing scene. would love to hear a few suggestions

Yes it is an original neil, she was great mrs woods, we once went with my mate who`s birthday it was we litterally carried him in about 1am, we all got a good telling off for getting him so drunk we were all stood with our heads hanging down with our hands behind our backs was like being at school, then she said don`t do it again wished my mate a happy birthday and sent us on up stairs, allways took her a xmas card every year

I have one it stands proudly on my wall framed up at the boom of the stairs, nice to see mrs woods smiling face everymorning, instead of every staurday night

And me too well said, [keepin me head down last time i said that at the top end of the forum got blasted for taking sides ]

Thanks for that info tony, never new that

I often wonder if a lester tipton w/d will ever turn up or is there one?

Got to agree with you there pete, sam is an inspiration to us all, a lot of people forget just what great records he has played over the years and his enthusiasm for the music is still as strong today as ever, plus as you say a really nice guy as well

Thank god ive got so many great memories of the place, i remember that night when he played that, all my mates were mr m`s regulars, but i allways stayed in the main hall, mainly due to the brilliance of richard searling, that was the only time i thought of walking out of that place

yeh were fine sid, give our regards to bernie the other one that seems to have turned up in great quantity ROYAL ESQUIRES, i recall a dj paying a £1000 for that one

hi sid one that allways springs to mind with me, is EJ CHANDLER,

more added for the skegness beer fund, whey hey

Fat simmons?

thanks chalky

https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...hlink:middle:us Is this the same guy who was selling one the other week, if so wonder how many he`s got?

he would have probably argued tooth and nail as we did on many occasions and i`m sure many others did with him over his views, but we had a mutual respect for each other and i would never have dictated to him what i thought he should do and vice versa, also ive mellowed wth age, and have realised no matter what you say you aint gonna change anything so i go along enjoying every minute of my soul life in every way possible the comments made are certainly not aimed at you personally, we all have our different opinions, i for one don`t like the idea that a few people seem to believe they have the right to tell others where they are going wrong, i personally am happy to do what i want when i want, personally i never got involved in anyting political on the scene and never really saw any of this it just seems nowadays its everywhere, you`d have thought with age we`d have all come closer together rather than drifting apart at every possible venture, i`m the first to admit that there needs to be newsounds introduced on the scene and applaud all forward thinking dj`s promoters etc, but the tide is against them unfortunatley, i started a night of underplayed sounds in a little local venue, and after doing a lot of asking people who all said yeh tht would be a great idea, the highest attendance we got was 40 in a 150 venue yet the local lads down the road playing outplayed oldies in a 200-300 capacity hall packed the venue everytime, and the other thing is once at my underplayed night i advertised it as a free for all, bring a box and dj thing, guess wich night had the highest attendance at my venue, everyone wants to be a dj, but many aint, that thing that looks like an ice cream cones a microphone, and if used properly can be the best tool for creating atmosphere in a room, too many COLLECTORS just put record after record on without even uttering a word throughout there whole spot, thats my two penneth and now ive had my say on what seems to me to be a pointless excercise but remember please its only a personal opinion

Can someone tell me where i can get a copy of the northern soul rule book? then i can read up on it, and i won`t have people then telling me how and where i can enjoy myself, on my very preciouse weekends out

I have the lp, fab its just a big story
