Right, own up, who left the unopened Homer Simpson Jelly Lollypop in the back of the motor. Neill Rydings you are the number one suspect (Doh).

Sean@rancho.relaxo at 19:41:54 Monday April 30 2001

Stevie Cee lying down in a quiet room at 16:10:45 Monday April 30 2001
Still recovering from Southport. What a wicked time was had! All you soulboys and soulgirls who haven't been before, go in November! The Saturday afternoon session was indeed the best ever - Terry & Andy on fire, every tune a winner with people dancing on the tables and lots of punters that were maybe experiencing real soul for the first time - magical stuff. I checked out more of the other rooms than usual so I might have missed some of the action in the CC (my usual base) but I was dissapointed not to hear Romina Johnson, Beverly Brown, Annointed, Bob Sinclar, Cooly's Hot Box, Saundra Williams..did I leave the room at the wrong time or were DJ's not playing them?

Simon at 14:44:1 Monday April 30 2001
Afternoon all, glad to hear of good times this weekend, not so glad to hear about the bottle incident... Niki - still on for your ticket Saturday? Drop me a line...

deano in AT HOME IN LEWISHAM at 14:27:28 Monday April 30 2001

Kaya at 13:59:30 Monday April 30 2001
Afternoon maates! Just booked Thursday off work!! Hoo-fecking-ray!! Only TWO working days till Caister!!

Chrispy at 13:9:52 Monday April 30 2001
To all those that did it on Sat night - ta very much for suporting Soul Heaven, blimey even I was surprised by the tunes we played, especially Mr Holland!!!! We are keeping it fresh musically each and every month. The Caister Re-Union party @ Vivo's at the end of May will be something to watch out for!!! A special video is being made of the weekender which will only be screened @ Vivo's .......you have been warned!! Big Hello to Ian and the GY crew for making the journey down to the big smoke, don't you worry mate that blokes face is stored in my memory.... woe betide him if he is at the weekender, nuff said. FYI ......Thursday i'll be splitting my time between rnb (4Carl) and those legendary classics, giving garage a wide berth this weekend, not enough good quality out there to play for you guys.

Lance at 12:54:9 Monday April 30 2001
Hi Craig, costumes hmmm - you know I won't be drawn on this issue - it's TOP SECRET. We might have to engage in a 'you show me yours' negotiation. Give you a clue - there's rubber and it's quite scary!

CD at 12:40:17 Monday April 30 2001
Afternoon I meant to say, Hey QC! nice review hows the head??

CD still in GP on my day off at 12:35:38 Monday April 30 2001
Mornin!!!

QC report in g back to Soulboys CID at 12:35:33 Monday April 30 2001
Well that's Part 1 of the weekenders mission complete!! And I think it's fair to report that a great time was had by all... Frostie's Reliable Coach Tours didn't dally too much on the way, and we were in the Sands before 6.30pm.... bit of an accomodation shortage as usual, but Tony 'Got Any House?' Matthews and Richie Francis took pity on me and Cleo.... thanx Tony, Richie, Lee and (Screw) Loose, GOOD BOYS! You were superb. Still dunno whether a carvery lunch on a Saturday afternoon was a good idea, but we had tonnes of laughs. And no, it didn't count as a hit!!!... Returning to Southport after 5 years wasn't too much of a shock to the system. Everything is roughly where it always was, although the camp and venues have had a bit of a facelift. All the venues were decorated for the occasion with parachute silks and drapes and it looked really good. Didn't seem as vast as it used to somehow. Also the Connoisseurs Corner (where the Jazz Room used to be) and the Alternative Arena (in the cafe area) are now proper decent sized rooms with doors and walls!! Didn't venture to the 'outside' room, The Sidewalk - UK Garage - NFI maate. The Powerhouse (Main Room) was housey, garagey of course. The Funkbase (where the Soul Room used to be) was more like the bad attitude room, nasty R&B and loads of moody people. It was really packed in there too, and we avoided it for the most part, but did manage a Romina Johnson PA and a bit of TJ on Sunday afternoon. I spent most of my time juggling sets between the CC and AA venues, with the odd bit of nosebleed while crossing the Main Room. Mr. Rydings can report on the Vega, Morales, gonzales sets, I couldn't really say if they were good or not to tell you the truth. Notable sets for me, of course, Terry Jones and Andy Davies' Legendary Connoisseurs Soul Session in the AA on the Saturday afternoon. Brilliant tunes, brilliant atmosphere, packed and hot as an oven! The Kilmarnock boys provided the cabaret and we all walked out dripping wet, happy punters. Bobby and Steve provided a great Soulful Garage set in there on Saturday night too. It was the Connoissuers Corner that was 'home' for most of the weekend. Friday night was excellent with sets from AD, TJ, Norman Jays Original Rare Groove sesh, Richard Searling, Bob Jones and Bob Jeffries. Finished Sunday nicely with Snowboys Jazz Dance Sesh in the CC, Bob Jones in the Main Room, a dodgy PA by James 'D Train' Williams and Bob Jeffries and Jonathon to finish.... FRCT left reasonably promptly and we were back to Mile End by 11.30pm..... Great weekend, great to see faces old and new, and hi to all the Northern lurkers and everyone else I met.

Bev at 12:34:5 Monday April 30 2001
Oi Morris - don't forget to pack yer choons maate! xx And Craig - any luck on the wing mirrors! he! he!

Morris at 12:26:16 Monday April 30 2001
Good Morning Doris, or rather good afternoon, oh dear I'm not having a good day am I? It must be that Doris still hasn't said hello to me.

Craig at 12:20:3 Monday April 30 2001

Mornin all, it was great to meet Paul, Maz etc., at Point 101 on Saturday eve. Gavin's head is OK but he has quite a few bruises - one minute you seen him - the next you don't. Good exit.........

Lance in Home - studying at 11:35:17 Monday April 30 2001
Hi everyone! It's Soooooooo NOT fair - like summer here in Kettering and I'm supposed to study. Don't think I'll get much done today. Got me costume sorted for Caister. Wait a minute, wots going on here? - I don't do dressing-up! You lot are a bad influence. Speak later.

Tracy at 10:46:6 Monday April 30 2001
Morning all. Great night at Point 101 Saturday, some excellent tunes from the Sour Mash boys.MM thanks for your hospitality, see you when I get back.

Steve W at 10:25:43 Monday April 30 2001

Mornin' Bev, don't be sad ;o))only 3 working days left.YIPEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!

scouserpaul at 10:4:20 Monday April 30 2001
Mornin. Nice to see a few faces at Point 101 on Saturday considering Southport & Soul Heaven drew a few of the regulars. Kim, how's your fella's head?

Gary.M. in trying to clean out the Galaxy at 9:57:21 Monday April 30 2001
Just to say that Southport was the dogs bo**ox. Highlights have got to be TJ's and Andy Davies mammoth 4 hour connoisseurs soul seesion on Sat afternoon. Tune after tune, one of the best sets I've heard for many a year. Must agree with Neill that Vega in Friday was awesome, and Neill 2-4-6-8, it works mate don't it!!! Big thanx to my fellow partners in crime, Chi and Johnny Boy for the provisions (what did happen to those frozen sausage rolls), Neill for smoking all my fags and holding court with his endless monologues, and Auntie Pam for looking after us all. Also special thanx to the Webbo's. Mr Webbo keep working on those jokes, you'll make it on T.V. one day (I still don't get the one about the clown and the violin), and also Mrs Webbo, you get a special gold star as you were the only one to stay awake coming home in the car yesterday,and also for your "special" cocktails on saturday night.

Bev in feeling sad and tired! at 9:48:23 Monday April 30 2001
Mornin maates! Wot a boring one that was! Obviously a lack of punters at QoS on Friday nite but Bob Masters played some superb choons - lots of jazzy numbers and Seawind - yeah!!!!! I need the weekend NOW!!! ttfn xx

Neill at 23:6:56 Sunday April 29 2001
Just a quick post to say that Southport was up to it's usual high standards. The week-end actually peaked a little early with the highlight (for me at least)Mr Vega totally on fire on Friday night. Niki, Pam, Chi & JB may disagree judging from their remarks about the Saturday soul session!! Scouser, look out for the remix of the Kings of Tomorrow thing 'Finally'...MASSIVE!!! Big thanks to the Webbos, Syrups and Wierdy for great company. Have fun all up by the cold North sea and somebody please look after the missus!!

Doris at 22:59:2 Sunday April 29 2001

Vespas & Lambrettas are the only "motor cycles" worth riding. You're not a greaser who likes soul are you Paul?

taaaaaata maaates. Frostie would like you to know that he forgot Gary Dennis in the Joy & Soain DJ line-up..... see you all on the other side....

Craig at turn in g off the alarms. at 7:26:25 Friday April 27 2001
Yawn Yawn, got woken up by Hornsey Police at 5.30 am this morning 'cause the the Buggerer alarm was going off.....the joys of being a Keyholder. !Sarfpark crew have a great time, you lucky,lucky People.Esp Gary M,Chi,Johnny, Auntie Pam and the Webbo's.No leaving your empty Beer Cans in me Galaxy :o)))NIk/Frostie...........wish i was joining you.Maybe next time.Joy and Pain..........Off to look at the Holiday chart now ,that'll cheer me up.

Frostie @ Joy & Spain Promotions at 1:22:49 Friday April 27 2001
Oh yeah!! It's dundelt maaaaaaates! Now finalised and signed.... we're off to Mojarca (Southern Spain near Almeria) for seven days on 13th September. For £350 you get flight (our own plane), coach transfers, hotel (didn't bother with breakfast) resident club with two floors (no outsiders), two other venues (no outsiders) and final arrangements should secure a Medieval Feast with a difference - a round the table sing-song to every "One More" fave over the past 20 years. Frostie spoke to Sir. Brian tonite, who hs given his blessing and therefore Simon Able has chosen the following (subject to avilability but 99% dundelt) DJ's to do their stuff: Hilly, Sean French, Mark Webster, Frostie, Tom Holland, Chris Brown, Andy Unique Rhythm, Jim the Syrup and Aud. A selection of early sets will be available on a first paid first to play basis, and sets that go down a storm will be rewarded accordingly. After the success of the Clacton/Bournemouth Hotels where we went back to creating a family feeling of a couple of hundred friends together, rather than an all out promotion, spaces will be limited to approx 200 persons, this is not a selling point but decision by Simon Able (promoter of the Lacy Lady). Once all DJs confirm availability flyers will be out (hopefully for Caister) and a £50 Deposit per person made payable to Joy & Spain Promotions will secure. It's taken us over a decade to find the ideal location, so believe us when we say that this is one maaaaating call everyone should respond to.

Casual Observer at 0:49:12 Friday April 27 2001
I doubt that she will fit into your sleeping bag let alone your tent. However I think most people will be jealous when she performs well in the endurance stakes!!!!!

Dear Casual observer, ah the heady days of porche. This year I've been invited to take this spritely young thing from Caterham.

Casual Observer in Deep In France at 23:50:45 Thursday April 26 2001
My Dear Austin,I fear that you may infact, be my alter ego. I have cherised memories of taking Bently down the Mulsan straight at some speed, only to be interupted by the sharp right hand bend at the bottom and looking over my shoulder at my old flame Porshe cutting me up on the inside (hush my weeping heart).I fear that you may rake over more coals and introduce Mercedes to this thread.

Conrad in chillin' to some new stuff on Naked Music at 23:11:32 Thursday April 26 2001

Dear Casual Observer, not only do I remember you with Bugatti, what about that little fling with Bentley at Le Mans?

Niki at 20:52:26 Thursday April 26 2001
Allo everyone! Been doing some 9-5 consultancy work for the last two days.... in sunny Romford. Now the work's over and the weekend starts!! Sarfport here we come. Still haven't packed a bag, and I'm off to meet up with this weekend's glamourous tour-guide, Frostie. The Reliable Coaches depart Mile End at 9.30am tomorrow, so hopefully we'll be there before midnight. TJ, Webbos, Neill, Stevie Cee - see you at the bar.....

Hi Mum and Dad ( Doris and Morris) I'am doing fine now (baby yea). I live in a small town near Minsk, I work in the Russian underground soul movement. Lovely to hear from you. Everything glows here at night. ( Something to do with Chernobyl)

Casual Observer in Down Memory Lane at 15:49:4 Thursday April 26 2001
Dear Austin, I fear that you know me well, just as I thought that I had left my past behind me, you come along and tear open old wounds. Please let them HEALY Austin. P.S. Bugatti had a fine set of head lamps and a compact little trunk! Although she was thirsty I didn't mind filling her tank up.

Doris at 15:45:30 Thursday April 26 2001
Oi Pieman - if you had 7", 6" or even 3" it would be an improvement on what I've heard about you!

Doris at 15:44:43 Thursday April 26 2001
Quick - Mothers not looking - Morris if you show me yours I'll say Hello!

Stevie Cee at 15:15:49 Thursday April 26 2001
!THIS MESSAGE IS ON BEHALF OF CD! Could anyone going down QOS this Friday give her a call please? I've got a last-minute place at Southport which I'm taking up, it'll be good to see any of you lot that are going.

Morris at 15:6:40 Thursday April 26 2001
Never mind Bugatti, all I want is an hello from Doris.

Austin at 15:5:16 Thursday April 26 2001
Dear Casual Observer, your liasons with Aston are nothing compared to your affair with that french bit Bugatti (and yes bugatti is french before anyone questions that one)

Craig at 14:58:52 Thursday April 26 2001
'Ello.Had my head down working this morning(well i thought it was about time) Whats all this about then ?

Casual Observer at 14:52:6 Thursday April 26 2001
Blatant conjecture I must state. My feelings for that Ferrari were never substantiated. A vicious rumour circulated to cause ill feeling at Longbridge. However I must own up to a clandestine liason with a certain Aston Martin DB6, the appeal of hand stitched leather overcame my initial reluctance to cheat on your daughter.

pieman in soul capital at 14:43:16 Thursday April 26 2001
BEV so was mine yesterday nearly pulled me soding brains out when he took my tooth, must have been a new romantic bastards strike them down with me glow sticks and pies.

Austin at 14:25:49 Thursday April 26 2001
dear casual observer, I find your reply somewhat strange, Allegro may have had a rusty box, but surely a more valid reason was that you were falling for that Ferrari.

Morris at 13:59:5 Thursday April 26 2001
Sugar Pie and Fiddlesticks to you then Mrs Doris Senior.I shall be playing in your garden anymore!Oh i almost forgot,BOGIES TO YOU ASWELL! what an ill mannered woman you are.

Bev in EC4 at 13:57:6 Thursday April 26 2001
My eyes were moist at the dentist this mornin! Ouch!! Oops afternoon maates!

Casual Observer in Longbridge at 13:40:11 Thursday April 26 2001
My interest in your daughter Allegro, waned after I discovered she had a rusty box and a poor turning circle. Not to mention the fact that she was very thirsty and I needed to constantly fill up her tank! However she looked spendid in her freshly polished chrome!! My eye gets moist at the memory!

Dear Casual observer, why are you so interested in morris minor, yet you showed no interest in my daughter Allegro?

Casual Observer at 13:4:29 Thursday April 26 2001
Is there a possibility that a Morris Minor is involved in this tangled webb?

Morris - I am afraid as we have not formally been introduced, it is not possible for my yoiung, sweet and impressionable daughter to talk to you.

Morris at 12:22:43 Thursday April 26 2001
After all these years, I really thought you would say hello to an old chum

Allo Tommy, where u been?

alan jay at 1:36:4 Wednesday April 25 2001
Nik, Don't let the bedbugs bite! aj

PIEMAN in GT Yarmouth soul capital of the east coast at 1:7:17 Wednesday April 25 2001

nite maates

Niki at 0:39:45 Wednesday April 25 2001
AJ, we've had the Main Room/overplayed cheese discussion on here many times before. We've got an 'alternative' sesh on the Sunday afternoon to put a fresh perspective on things, but we're not allowed to get "too obscure".....

alan ay at 0:27:18 Wednesday April 25 2001
Tommy, One of the perks of having the record stall was that I used to get a slot in the alt room, radio, tv and I used to say F**k you it's time for some real stuff - those in the know loved it - the Fonda Rae fans walked out! - good!

tommy in the country at 0:23:2 Wednesday April 25 2001
It's all bit quiet in here tonite, must all be in training for Caister. Got to agree AJ . . how many times does a record have to be played in a w/end. So much easier to bu***r off to the alt room for a touch-of-jazz!!

alanjay at 0:17:2 Wednesday April 25 2001
Caister, I get extremely p**ssed off with that no 1 promoter Mr Ricks when I used to have the record stall there - we had to be in that room rom 11am - 2am - no breaks and when you've heard Touch Me - Fonda Rae for the 6th time that day it kinda pisses you off. Much prefer being a punter these days!

Nik at 0:14:51 Wednesday April 25 2001
Phil, be lucky the picture stays!

Nik at 0:13:19 Wednesday April 25 2001
AJ, it's all double dutch to me

Kaya at 0:11:21 Wednesday April 25 2001
No, sorry Alan, I believe that the Grapes doo is the same weekend as Caister. Aren't you coming along to hear the Soulboys debut in the 'alternative' soul room?

alan jay in Chadwell Heath at 0:10:23 Wednesday April 25 2001
Niki, How's that Japanese coming along? aj

Nik at 0:10:20 Wednesday April 25 2001
Alan, we're all gonna be at Caister. It's not a good night for the Soulboys crowd I'm afraid.

Kaya at 0:10:2 Wednesday April 25 2001
...Hahaha! Or strangled beavers!! But I LIKE that!! Honest!! :O))

alan jay in Chadwell Heath at 0:9:37 Wednesday April 25 2001
Kaya, Long time no here/speak! you going to the Grapes do! aj

Nik at 0:8:8 Wednesday April 25 2001
Kaya, yeah but it gets a bit too screaming seagulls sometimes. No offence Phil!! ;o)

Niki at 0:6:48 Wednesday April 25 2001
Hi Alan!

Kaya at 0:6:10 Wednesday April 25 2001
Sorry, that was to Paul. Allo Alan Jay!!! How the devil have you been? Niki, Phil's show is usually top!!:O) Goodnight Maaates & lurkies...

Kaya at 0:4:48 Wednesday April 25 2001
You could even just 'Save As' something else...

alan jay in Chadwell Heath at 0:3:18 Wednesday April 25 2001
Bribo, Thanks for reminding peeps of the soul24-7 bash at Grapes Wine Bar, Wlathamstow soomn to celebrate 1 year on air! Do us all a favour a good night is guaranteed and we need the money to continue on air! See you all there! Alan Jay

Niki at 0:2:31 Wednesday April 25 2001
Phil's show is top tonite!! Now Tania Maria "Come With Me"... lully

Niki at 23:49:47 Tuesday April 24 2001
Paul, Blinking well serves you right for not saving it as you went along. Can you not right click on the file and take off the read-only?? Or cut and paste the stuff out into a new document?

Paul at 23:46:50 Tuesday April 24 2001
Bugger! Lost two hours work when I shut down IE6. The Excel document I was using is now write protected & read-only. I can't do anything with it. Lucky I have a backup. 'Spose these things happen when you conduct free beta testing....

Monk at 23:39:35 Tuesday April 24 2001

Stevie Cee, catching up on all the gossip at 21:54:58 Tuesday April 24 2001
I've just been lurking in my usual fashion. Looks like you lot are going to have a blinding time at Caister - especially as you've got that extra room (Niki & Kaya will rock it!)and Doris' B'day! Is there any truth in the rumour you'll all be wearing your birthday suits?! (exclusive pics on 'Soulboys') TJ - I can never listen to your show - too much buffering, so annoying! As for a Southport Killer-Diller, you probably think it's rubbish but how about "Love Is You" by Barrett Strong?

Good afternoon, thought I say hello instead of lurking..... NP you know I report all to KvS. Mr Ben - that lime green suit I remember it will - will it be getting an airing at Caister or will it be the Rev Bennett number?

Lynda & Chop in Sunny Margate at 16:57:14 Monday April 23 2001
Afternoon Maates! The room at Caister sounds good is there any room for BOD to spin a tune or two from the Diesel collection????? He would love it and I know the sounds would be top!!!

TJ the DJ in bloody work at 16:42:24 Monday April 23 2001
Chrispy, not a CS in Scotland, but i am working at B Jeffries club in Kilmarnock on Sat 23rd June and me and Scouser Paul are trying to source cheapest journey, cos some members of Soulboys gang interested in making it a beano. The hotel near the club is only £20 per room per night and Bob reckons we could get discount for bulk booking, so dirt cheap 3/4 in a room...cheapest rail fare now to Glasgow is Spring Special with Virgin £19 return, all we have to do is hope that they will do the same specials for June, and then we are sorted....Scotland night out, room & beano on the train for about £25.00..the price of my cab fare to Point 101 every month, one way!! on the choon front, trying to find a killer diller for Southport, any suggestions?? oh! and this extra sesh at Caister looks good, might have to see if I can bunk in, what's the chances.....TJ

Niki at 16:39:17 Monday April 23 2001
You all think you're funny dontcha?

Morris at 16:34:35 Monday April 23 2001

Steve Bennett at 15:41:24 Monday April 23 2001

Doris at 15:24:10 Monday April 23 2001
Hello Kaya!

Doris at 15:23:46 Monday April 23 2001
Congrats to the (UN)Happy couple! WHen can we expect to hear the patter of little feet then? On the T-shirt front - they have been ordered - they will be in purple with a crest on the left breast (oo-er) and the URL accross the back. I am giving final approval Wednesday night (inc final price confirmation). Those responding to e-mail have been included in this limited edition. If you have not already applied I may be able to add a few extra in but need to know ASAP! Cost will be between £13 and £15 each but the printing should be of a higher quality! Cheers!

Kaya at 15:21:20 Monday April 23 2001
Johnny, I found it in my pocket when I got home - sorry to all th 'norther soul dancers' who couldn't find it on Friday!! I'll bring it with me to Caister if anyone wants a look at it!!

Johnny T in At Work Looking for that Beat at 15:16:37 Monday April 23 2001
Kaya what beat was that matey???

Hello magazine correspondant at 15:15:33 Monday April 23 2001
The wedding was a quiet family affair - QC wanted to keep it low-key (and who can blame her!)! For you fashion watchers out there the bride looked nice in a purple jumpsuit, whilst the groom wore a stunning outfit - a suit no less - in a lovely shade of lime green with a purple shirt to match the bride! The exclusive pictures and story of the "evet" will be published in a special edition of "Hello" for the Caister weekend!

HB at 14:59:33 Monday April 23 2001
Sorry - congrats to the happy couple !

Niki at 12:48:53 Monday April 23 2001
Allo Doris!! Steve, you are not allowed to mention certain overplayed Atlantic Starr records, it upsets me.

Doris at 12:44:58 Monday April 23 2001

Monk at 11:58:14 Monday April 23 2001
Hello Maaaates!!!

Bev in work and lurking - lurk lurk!! at 11:35:23 Monday April 23 2001

Steve at 11:31:43 Monday April 23 2001
Although the idea of the 3rd room is great, I hope they leave at least a couple of pool tables free. Some of us need to hustle to get our beer money!

Chrispy at 10:56:55 Monday April 23 2001
Kaya - the 3rd room - in the words of the O'Jays, 'Give the People Want They Want' - I hope all of you who asked for the room spread the word and enjoy the afternoon, I'll be there hopefully relaxing! What about asking those out there to name some tunes they want to hear played in the room? Although I'm missing Southport I don't feel so bad......how weird, hope to be there in the winter! For those that know about it see you for Soul Heaven @ Vivo Saturday night ....a Caister warm up I do believe. TJ - Is there going to be a Choc Soul in Kilmarnock or am I misreading your posts?

Steve at 10:37:20 Monday April 23 2001
Mornin maates. Niki, is the secret track 'Circles' ? :) (I noticed it's not on your napster list!)

Paul at 10:37:6 Monday April 23 2001
Mornin'. Terry, I've checked Ryanair & easyJet prices and it costs 30 - 50 quid plus tax return. Add to that the cost of getting to & from Stanstead/Luton, parking etc, plus the time the whole deal will take (3+ hours) then the train may be an option. The cheapest standard train fare I could find for travel up on the Saturday & coming back on the Sunday was 50 quid; if anyone knows of a better deal, let us know!

Doris at 9:22:7 Monday April 23 2001
Sorry (it is MONDAY!) Morning all!

Doris at 9:21:37 Monday April 23 2001
Do you mean this weekend? Cos next weekend is Caister! Oi where's my CD (and I don't mean Dawn!)!

TD at 9:8:24 Monday April 23 2001
Mornin Punters!! Back to work, Oh the joys of life!! I might need to go out next weekend, who's doing what? Where? When? ...and with whom?

Timbo at 8:56:40 Monday April 23 2001
Oi QC - no Melba Moore on the C-28 selection ? #Pick me up I'll dance - dance to the music - dance.......#

TJ the DJ in a foul mood getting ready fro the druggery of the train at 7:22:3 Monday April 23 2001
ugh!! morning..........scouser, just a thought about Scotland, if we have trouble with flights, we could do the train from Euston....5 hours would allow us to have a drinkie and a laugh, and Bob said he would arrange collection from station in Glasgow to Kilmarnock. Virgin, £20 return to Glasgow I believe, could be cheaper in Spring offers that they have. Off to work have a good day...i wanna retire!

QC, TD & CD at 1:4:0 Monday April 23 2001
And they're not on the Napster list....

QC, TD & CD at 0:45:56 Monday April 23 2001
We can also divulge that our CD includes Barry White, Gloria Gaynor and Luther Vandross.... betcha can't guess which ones though ;o)

QC, TD & CD at 0:32:58 Monday April 23 2001
Only 10 days to Caister... woo woo!!!!!

Kaya & Niki at 0:30:44 Monday April 23 2001
We are now allowed to divulge that the very nice Mr. Rix has agreed to allow Richard in GY to organise a special alternative sesh in the games room on Sunday afternoon. Thanks to Richard, Ian M and Crispy for putting in a word for us. I'm sure you will all come along to show your support...... DJs confirmed..... Tom Holland, Carl & Kenny J, Ian M..... oh yeah and us :o)))))

QC, TD & CD in Caravan 28 CD heaven at 0:16:55 Monday April 23 2001

Hello mates, thanks to all who made the effort at CS last nite….think the change of Fridays threw a few people, cos I got a few calls about it this morning. Makes sense to read the flyers when your sober don’t it, Southport next week, so we will be busy elsewhere. Xtra brilliant soulful selection from the Sourmash boys last nite, and me doing a long set reminded me a bit of the old days, yes Yokel it was a bit like the Village at times, thanks for the kind words. Niki, about Bennett, you are welcome to him, when he comes up North with me they think he’s with me (he should be so bloody lucky!!) Nice to see Jimbo all the way from Ireland just for last nite, wehat a star you are mate……….the Luton boys in attendance too, and all the south east mob, good to see Gareth going home with a smile on his face and SOUL POWER under his arm. Apologies from Ivor about not being there last nite, but his dad is gravely ill and he had to go tell his mum that the hospital can’t do anything for him…very sad, and I said we were all thinking off him, he will make it up to you on his next visit. Off to Blackburn tonite to work with Richard S and the crew, can’t wait to drive the 400 mile round trip…….aarrgghh!! the things we do for SOUL music eh? Have a good time all you lot tonite whatever you are up to, Kaya/Doris get well soon, Craig, sounds like you got some catching up to do, Steve W, you watch yourself tonite out with the boys!! And Stevie Cee and CD………..BEHAVE!!…luv u all, spoke to Bobby J just now, send his luv,he will see all the travellers next week. Blackburn report 2morrow after zzzzzzzzzzz….luv ya………….TJ……x Ps what happened to Chi & Showbiz? Points deducted for no show…….!!

Richie you made my night with Eugene Record "Fan the Fire" from the old Zoo ("Good For You") days..... and TJ played Melba Moore as well. Boogie me up baby!!! Funniest moment of the night - Cheesy B gave me a lift from Bar-Bed to Choc Soul and we were joking about causing tongues to wag by arriving together, so we made a big cheesy hand-holding entrance... and the first person I spoke to said "I didn't know you were going out with Steve Bennett" !!!! hahahahahahahaaaaaaa

Steve W at 12:44:45 Saturday April 21 2001
By the way if anyones got a spare Caister ticket I could be interested.

Nick (Puma) in About to go home at 12:10:56 Friday April 20 2001
Steve, thanks for that link, but, the company computer nerds have blocked it too. Still, I've always got this site!! It's making me really sad all this talk of Caister, won't be there - booked my holiday for the 6th, forgetting (how could I??) that it was a bank holiday. Ah well, I'll be back later in the year.

I beg to differ andy...hey vera luv!

andy in new jersey at 3:24:7 Friday April 20 2001
Niki - funny that you should mention the Richard Williams tune. I picked up a copy of the album last year, not really knowing anything about it whatsoever but was cheap enough and took a chance on it. It's also quite a bizarre cover - looks like a Pan-Am airline promotion LP! Tracked through the album, most of which is totally awful until...BANG! "Wouldn't You Really Rather Have Me"... Apparently he was an actor first and foremost and appeared a bunch of American soaps back in the seventies.....Made a better job of making records than Jack Duckworth though that's for sure!!

Niki f in ishing work at 3:21:10 Friday April 20 2001

Steve at 11:36:49 Thursday April 19 2001

Niki at 18:8:5 Tuesday April 17 2001
Ali, apparently we crashed into another boat and one of the downstairs windows shattered. Monk and CD were eye-witnesses. I was oblivious to the whole thing. Dentist, what's a flagpole painter? Am I being a bit fick? Steve W, wot ears thing? Jeez it's too confusing......

River Police at 18:6:56 Tuesday April 17 2001

still dazed, I meant reporting!!

steve redgrave in me boat reporing him to the Fashion Police at 17:10:18 Tuesday April 17 2001
the crash was caused by the captain being startled by some geezer wearing a purple suit and red shirt suddenly appearing on the top deck, I was rowing by and was also gobsmacked, causing my cholestorol to shoot back up 15%. Glad he never went overboard, he would have definitely been thrown back immediately, most fish have excellent taste in clobber you know.

Niki at 17:3:36 Tuesday April 17 2001
Monk, wot's wot?

Niki at 17:3:16 Tuesday April 17 2001

Allo maates! BIG FAVOUR needed: Tina Tits Out left her camera on the boat on Sunday - silver camera, black case, on window ledge next to upstairs bar - CAN ANYONE HELP?? Wot a good doo too! Superb music upstairs all day. Didn't get downstairs once - tried but too packed at one point, so didn't see Gary Dennis DECK IT (ha ha!). Niki - r u sure we hit another boat? The first 3 stops were for, believe it or not, petrol!!! The man was having trub with his tubes, that's why we had to move on to the next Texaco pier! Anyway - hope everyone is ok! Doris maate - wassss going on with the throat? Kaya - you feeling better now - last time I saw you, you were calling god on the great big river phone? Niki/CD - forgot to catch you at the end of the boat, so I'll email Niki now. Hope everyone else is well. ta-da. xx.

Steve at 13:6:57 Tuesday April 17 2001
Afternoon maates. Sounds like a good time was had on the boat trip(fall). Niki, I've got an Inuendo 64. It's great, speshally Mario. Where do you get IP addresses from, and what's the council tax like on em? Anyway, I've got a clear conscience, not out of choice though :(

Niki at 12:56:56 Tuesday April 17 2001
Dave D, it was nice to meet you. Now your mug-shot will grace the our Galleries, just like the rest of us old b@st@ds! We were all too busy laughing at Gary Dennis' stunt to realise that we actually crashed into another boat!! The boat went back to the pier so many times anyway (to empty the loos), so I didn't think much of it either. I didn't know about the smashed window an'all til afterwards!

Dave D at 12:41:13 Tuesday April 17 2001
Afternoon all. What a crackin' day on Sunday, eh! It was good to meet a lot of you in person. Thanks for the introductions Bev. It's been a long time (14 years) since I went to a do like that i.e. hearing jazz, jazz-funk, disco along with the pure soul stuff but it was a good change for me. Choon of the day for me was "Cashing In" Voices of East Harlem - it had me leaping out of the chair. I must have had a few bevvies because I was at the bar downstairs when the boat crashed and I didn't think much of it at the time; I just carried on ordering.

Nik at 12:28:27 Tuesday April 17 2001
I have the IP addresses for everyone who's been through here this morning - so BE AFRAID!!!

Niki at 12:26:24 Tuesday April 17 2001
Oi! Do you people mind not spreading gossip, innendo and personal grievances! I know who you are...... and you'll be next if you're not careful. Obviously those of you with clear consciences and skeleton-free closets have no need to worry...............

Niki at 12:17:31 Tuesday April 17 2001
Morning all. What an excellent bank-holiday weekend that was!!! Enough to make us all religious :o))) Even saw West Ham win on Saturday!!!! And my brother and sister-in-law had a new baby girl.... wot a lovely way to start the Summer. Roll on Sarfport and Caister.......

Hello maates! And thanks for everyone wondering about how I was yesterday! A visit @ 5am to the local A&E and a vast quantity of (legal) drugs have started solving my swallowing problems - Dave's answer was not practical! Brilliant day yesterday! Big up to the Soulboys posse (QC, CD, Tube boys, Agent Monk!)Also to MF - wonderful do - but who was driving the boat! Even in our state we could see that dredger! TJ - never fear I would save your records - though I'm sure Niki would save Cory Blake! Mr Dennis - so nice to have you on your knees (Honest Jill - it was just the boat rolling!) Everyone else - hello! And finally a special thanks to Dee and Tim for helping an invalid home!

Things are beginning to come back to us...a certain person was seen returning into the boat from the front deck and pulling her truosers up, she could have been answering a call of nature but there was an unknown gentleman just behind her! Craig was a hero when he tackled a stowaway who was rummaging in the girlies coats...OOOh what a hero! Mrs Dog's duck had a burial at sea, quite charming with the singing and the flowers and everything...thanks to all our maaates for being there and keeping us entertained and a BIG thank you to Mick Farrer for putting on ANOTHER excellent event!!

Agent Moon- Feeling fresh but fuzzy at 10:55:49 Monday April 16 2001
What a top night,I must admit that I did almost join the paras' for a while, when the boat crash into a dredger and a window downstairs shattered, luckly Agent Abbot was there to clam me down, I do remember hanging onto the life ring singing #My will go on#

Kaya at 21:6:23 Saturday April 14 2001
Good evening maaates! What a blinding night at QoS, the busiest it's ever been. Best overheard conversation of the night, LISA-JANE (to TJ):- "Are you 'god'?". TJ :- "No, I'm just His messenger."....Blinding toons by all DJ's, I reckon a permanent (and new) sound system could be in order for the venue, though - the top end tends to make your ears bleed on the older (more treblesome) toons! All told, I don't think that'll stop me returning again and again and again and probably STILL standing in front of the same speaker!...and finally...does anyone have a spare ticket for the boat tomorrow? Melissa is considering coming along but would like to know that she can definitely get on board! Give me a call on 07951 101 201 if you can get your hands on a ticket, cheers.

Timbo at 20:28:35 Saturday April 14 2001

How rammed was QOS last night? It's not right y'know. Chi - I think you need to build an extension or something, Thurrock would be about the right size. And why is it that whenever I go to QOS with Alfie and Girth Devon I don't get in 'til 4? I only wanted quiet night down the pub.CD - call you in a mo.

The QOS collective are pleased to announce to all and sundry that the Brentwood Sunday afternoon gig looks like a go'er and to all dedicated house heads, check out Tony Humphries latest mix on Yellorange.com Southports round the corner and if theres a better time to be alive, we can't remember it!!!! Oh...and Bennett, if your planning to be on Mick's boat....better polish up on your front crawl.........!!!! Love & Hugs to everyone........

You may well be aware that another census is about to hit us soon. In it you will be asked certain personal things like the number of people in your house, your religion etc etc. For those of us who will puzzle about the answer to the last question I thoght it mioght be a good idea to write soulboy (or girl) in this column. Apparently if the government gets 10000+ same answers to the same question it has to be reconised officially as a religion. Plus it f**** up the government officials no end. I expect theres many of us who go to Caister or Southport more times in one year than we go to church so how about passing on this idea to all those soul boys and girls out there who might wanna spice up their census form a little this year?

Melissa at 17:32:5 Wednesday April 11 2001
Thanks, Steve. Separate, private e-mail coming your way, now, babes. Good to be back... yeah, whatever.

Steve (the Shirt) W at 17:15:19 Wednesday April 11 2001
Nothing comes close to the yellow fisherman shirt that could regularly be spotted at the likes of the metropolitian,RAW & various other hotspots.

Craig at 16:34:5 Wednesday April 11 2001
Steve W............. don't believe I've had the pleasure yet have I ? Anyway maybe keep your personal opinons to yourself 'ey ? Tar.

jimmy at 16:33:51 Wednesday April 11 2001
Kaya you can call that shirt recycled I'd call it mushy pea mania

Steve at 16:22:59 Wednesday April 11 2001
Afternoon maates, welcome back to Melissa and Lance.

Neill & Chi at 16:14:35 Wednesday April 11 2001
Tee Hee...We must say that if Steve Bennett decides to come to QOS on Friday, he certainly won't have to queue or pay 'cause we're gonna bung him in the first cab to the local 24 Safeway.............

Lance in Kettering (back home safely) at 16:2:17 Wednesday April 11 2001
Oi Bev sweetie, stop lurking and read your e-mails ;-)

Bev in 'aving a lurk at 15:54:25 Wednesday April 11 2001
'allo Monk me old maate! I thought I was the only maate about! Not sure about Thursday - getting me nails done very early Friday morning - how boring is that?? he! he! And we have got TJ on Friday and up the Thames on Sunday - I can't keep up with it all - getting past me sell buy methinks! Ta Ta xx

Monk at 15:52:9 Wednesday April 11 2001
Oi Bev I might be up for thurs night, but depends how s**t I feel tomorrow!

Kaya at 13:23:26 Wednesday April 11 2001
Afternoon Maates! So no-one else got the odd desktop thingy? Strange... I'd also like to apologise for that shirt I wore to Chocolate Soul/Queens of Soul, it has made two previous appearances on the site...I call it recycling, you can call it what you like!!

Steve W(trying to be careful) at 13:3:43 Wednesday April 11 2001
Niki although I was as guilty in the 80's, Mr Bennett should relaise that his postion doesn't jump him in the sceam of things. There's far too much of this gurst list crap. If you wana go & you haven't contributed to a gig or have a geniune link if a Dj or something then you should pay your way.

Bev in wondering if Monk is "Just Chillin" at 12:53:41 Wednesday April 11 2001
Oi Monk - it was Soul Essence number 17!!! What r u like?? he! he! Whose up for Frosties doo then??

Steve W at 12:47:3 Wednesday April 11 2001
Craig those trousers @ soul essence please explain? Mind you that jumper @ Chocolate soul. Like '82 never happened. We boyz have standards to maintain

Monk at 12:36:5 Wednesday April 11 2001
Oi Bev what was 17? or shouldn't I ask?

Monk at 11:41:11 Wednesday April 11 2001
wake up! I feel s**t

Nik at 11:27:9 Wednesday April 11 2001
Monk, could what?

Nik at 11:26:17 Wednesday April 11 2001
Dunno if the word 'gem' is applicable to Steve's bit.... the geezer is off his head. Very unfair on Q-Dos seeing as he didn't even get in, and do we really need to know about his 'handywork' in a review of the Howard??? Gives us all a laff I suppose.

Monk at 11:23:41 Wednesday April 11 2001
Oi Nik, I wish I could!!

Nik at 11:23:22 Wednesday April 11 2001
Craig, scuzzer :o)

Had a brilliant night at LL! Thanks for a brilliant set Tom and especially Chris! Carol - you looked swell (and so did Sonia!)! Today had Brownie rattling on in my ear about how wreaked everyone had gotten him! Also about strolling up to the bar, whacking Bev around the head and saying "Buy me a drink, bitch" (nothing unusual there then) .... only for her to turnaorund and find it wasn't Bev! Wish I'd seen that! See ya later all!

Bob Jeffries in Kilmarnock at 19:9:37 Saturday April 7 2001
Hi people, As you know I was down last week to London. If you bok early enough, say a month in advance, then Ryanair out of Stanstead will only cost around £4.50, yes thats right £4.50! each way. This would be much faster,cheaper and easier on you so that you could enjoy yourselves even more. The flights go from Stanstead to Glasgow Prestwick which is only 15mins from Kilmarnock. Does this seem more attractive my southern friends?

Steve at 18:55:49 Saturday April 7 2001
Frenchie, :) Kaya, I don't mind too much about the footwear rules, coz my drinkin' boots are about as old as the rules anyway! :) Seeya laater maate.

It's a terribly cruel event some people say it should be banned.A lot of people lose a lot of money , Fallers at the first and only a few left standing at the finish all sweaty and covered in crap but HEH! that's Caister for ya.

cheaper pints, better music, free admission, purple afros. Oh, I just don't know _what_ to do now! I just hate getting home from London, that's the only down side. I think I'll stick with LL, it's only a tenner in a cab. Seeyas all next time maates, and have a great time time at 101 tonight.

Kaya at 18:21:18 Saturday April 7 2001
Alright Steve, pints @ the 101 are cheaper than the LL, the music's better and it's free to get in!!

Craig, where does the bus go off from for Woodbury Common? - spent all morning going around the Grand Central Station area, but no bus. Someone advised me to go to the Port Authority Bus station, but I can't find that either. CYA later bieeeeeeee

Steve at 17:36:39 Saturday April 7 2001
Happy Saturday maaates. Doris, re. bonnet. Theres plenty of abandoned motors in 'Nam, although I wouldn't advise a bonnet for a 3 year old; plenty of sharp edges and all that. So, ooz for LL tonight?!?

TJ the DJ in a coma after invading Scotland yesterday with Cheesy Bennett and the Searling gang at 17:34:26 Saturday April 7 2001
Hi Gang, half asleep, but just managed to catch up, after coming back from Edinburgh Togetherness, which was a cracking nite. Dave the track at Togetherness was Let Thy Will Be Done by Ann Nesby from her up & coming CD Put It On Paper, which I was lucky enough to be gievn by 24-7 last year. Not released as yest but due around June/July, and not before time. I believe that Steve Silk Hurley, who produced the one I played, is gonna do remixes for a 12, and also Basement Boys, can't wait. Interviewed AN on 24-7 the other week, and she couldn't believe how well the tune is being received. At Southport last November, it took the roof off the Connoisseurs Corner. Will be THE choon of the Summer, you mark my words. Fading away now, have a good time tonite peeps, wherever you go............x

Kaya at 16:30:2 Saturday April 7 2001
Thanks Simon, for some excellent chewns last night!! Especially the Nina Simon, I stopped off @ HMV on the way home today & picked up the album...it's crap apart from that one, but worth a tenner of anyone's money! FYI peeps, the next "Soul Movement" is on May 4th..unfortunately I'll be @ Caister but will deff return for the May one! Now WHAT am I going to do tonight?

Kaya at 16:15:8 Saturday April 7 2001

Puff, pant, wheeze! Allo, Craig, CD & Steve W! Been to circuits so it's Betty Swollocks. Oi, Steve - that Avalanches tune. I loved it on the first listen but the novelty wore off pretty quickly. It samples a song from 1983 by Main Attraction, apparently. It sounds cluttered to me;very unusual production on that one. The album is a bit weird, too. Right - now it's bathtime wiv Luther (loofah)

Simon at 17:8:50 Friday April 6 2001
In that case we could put "Soulboy" down as a religion, n'est pas?

Dave D at 17:6:3 Friday April 6 2001
Ooops that was me. I'm not a Star Wars buff but just thought it was funny.

Steve at 16:16:38 Friday April 6 2001
Spookier and spookier!

Anon at 16:8:23 Friday April 6 2001
As you may know there is a census coming around this year. For those who don't know, a census is where the government collates general information about its residents (number of people living in your house, religion, etc). If there are enough people, who put down a religion that isn't mentioned on the census form it becomes a fully recognised and legal religion. It usually takes about 10,000 people to nominate the same religion. It is for this reason that it has been suggested that anyone who does not have a dominant religion to put "Jedi" as their religion. Send this on to all your friends and tell them to put down "Jedi" on their census form. And remember ......If you are a member of the Jedi religion then you are by default a 'Jedi Knight'. So if this has been your dream since you were 4 years old.... Do it because you love Star Wars, If not........... then just do it to annoy people.

Steve at 15:55:2 Friday April 6 2001

Pop Quiz clue: Involves Kaya former part craeer ad a well known fortnightly magazine

Niki at 11:45:32 Friday April 6 2001
Simon, I've got that sinking feeling already!

Simon at 11:38:41 Friday April 6 2001
That's ideal for me, Niki as we've got our last game (D1 ending a week earlier than Prem) the following day at Wimbledon - I'll text ya to let you know which division you'll be in next year!

Doris at 11:37:10 Friday April 6 2001
I'd be up for Scotland! Soulboys (the TJ stlkers society branch) on tour! And flying - oh yes! Is no one going to LL tomorrrow then? Off to check distribing pages! Bye

Nik at 11:33:16 Friday April 6 2001
Kaya, just phoned me up so he could put me on hold! Bobby Taylor was on the hold music..... Yarmouth here I come

Niki at 11:31:55 Friday April 6 2001
Si, I've just realised it's the last home game of the season!! Oh well.

Niki at 11:23:31 Friday April 6 2001
Oi Simon! Don't forget you've got to go and watch my Football team on 5th May while I'm at Caister. Unlucky. It's Southampton though, not Leeds as I said.

Simon at 11:5:55 Friday April 6 2001
Morning Niki! Yep, you're right there - most disturbing!

Niki at 11:1:26 Friday April 6 2001
This is very disturbing: http://homepage.mac.com/jbruyndonckx/skirtmenship.html

Niki at 11:0:20 Friday April 6 2001
Steve W, what was the answer to your Pop Quiz, or is it rude?

Niki at 10:58:46 Friday April 6 2001
Seriously considering Soul Essence this weekend..... decisions, decisions..... what's the alternative? Lacy Lady? I'm orf to pack me bags!!

Simon at 10:45:28 Friday April 6 2001
I've got it in my inside anorak pocket with my notebook and dictaphone......

Anorak at 10:40:57 Friday April 6 2001
Has anyone seen my flask?

Simon in my record box at 10:38:6 Friday April 6 2001
Nice one Steve W, and only 20 hours later than my reply :o) In fact, it is ALA103, 1978, written by Lynum & O'Loughlin and produced byGurren, Williams & Ross , 3 minutes 19 seconds long....and being played this evening at The Clinic!

Steve W at 10:18:15 Friday April 6 2001
Answer to Nikis pop quiz yester was Brothers By Choice. Good little song I think it was on ALA though I'd have to rifle through my boxes @ my mums. Sold loads wwhen I was working at Bluebird.

Kaya at 9:43:57 Friday April 6 2001
Mornin' late again!!!

Dave D at 9:41:1 Friday April 6 2001
TJ the DJ, there seems quite a few gospel tunes out there at the moment which are just right for the moderns soul scene. I don't know if you'll remember this because you've dome loads of gigs since, but at the Togetherness before last you played a storming gospel track. When it finished you said something like "if church was always that good then we'd all go every Sunday". Do you remember what it was?

TJ the DJ in getting ready to go to Edinburgh for Togetherness Scotland at 8:57:25 Friday April 6 2001
Right gang, I'll check out the flights/trains, the flights go into Prestwick from Stanstead which is close to Kilmarnock. Bob reckons we might get £20 return if we book 28 days in advance so that would be before May 23rd, i'll have a look. £20 return is cheaper than me going to Point 101 and back in a cab........I'll be back

Monk at 0:38:1 Friday April 6 2001
Dundelt ;o)

Frostie at 0:31:44 Friday April 6 2001
Yeah and for 20% you could mention to Gavin that he still owes me a Ton!!!

Niki at 0:29:37 Friday April 6 2001
Dundelt :o)

Monk at 0:28:55 Friday April 6 2001
No probs the Camera is going, you want the pics Niki?

Frostie at 0:28:0 Friday April 6 2001
Soul Essence - more anoraks than Millets!! Enjoy your trip to Yarmouth everyone, shame we can't join you! The Soulboys site urgently requires a picture of Soul Sam with the Red baseball cap. Dundelt, he will be wearing it.

Niki at 0:0:4 Friday April 6 2001
or should I say WOO WOO!!!

Niki at 23:59:40 Thursday April 5 2001
Four weeks to Caister yeaaaa!

Frostie at 23:58:41 Thursday April 5 2001
Any chance of you and Chris coming down to the Lacy on Saturday night? We need to have a chat about the way forward - nuff said!

Monk at 23:47:50 Thursday April 5 2001
It was a real laugh Maate, Dunno she's really busy with work, we were going out tonight but work got there first!

Frostie at 23:45:58 Thursday April 5 2001
Allo Monk maaate. How did Deebs birthday go? Top bird! When will she be coming out again?

Anon at 23:40:16 Thursday April 5 2001
Frosties reliable airlines !!!

Monk at 23:37:16 Thursday April 5 2001
Evenin' Maates, and 'ello Frostie Maate!!!!

Frostie at Niki's just in from Bar-Bed at 23:29:29 Thursday April 5 2001
TJ, providing Kilmarnock doesn't clash with the Summer Vibes weekender..... dundelt!! The only drawback may be the length of the coach journey. Are we right in thinking that Bob flew down last week, and if so it may be worth enquiring on a block booking, bearing in mind a full coach to Southport costs around £30 a head cost price. However, your number one fan Niki has already gathered 10 definites who will travel by train, plane or automobiles!!!!

Lance in in the Millenium Hilton Hotel, just across the street from the World Trade Centre at 23:4:2 Thursday April 5 2001
Hi gang! bet ya thought you had got rid of me - no such luck. Been really busy since I've been here but got the weekend to look forward to. Kaya no luck on the tacky statue yet - the search goes on! Love to ya all (including the very strange BSB - only kidding!)

CD at 23:0:53 Thursday April 5 2001
Thanks Mick! Kaya, I def not coming Saturday, If I don't call you it means I've fallen asleep, speak to you soon maybe.

Mick Farrer at 21:43:59 Thursday April 5 2001
Hi to everyone and for those of you going on the forthcoming Easter Sunday Soul Cruise i've just been told today that the pier we usually embark and disembark from (Embankment Pier) is going to be out of bounds that day due to major works being carried out, (sounds like an old BR excuse to me) and that the pier we shall be leaving from now will be Westminster. I have been assured that it is only a brisk 5 minute walk from Embankment Pier which means everyone can still meet up in the Griffin as before, but i would advise you to leave the Griffin 10 minutes earlier than usual.To be more precise Westminster Pier is next to Westminster Bridge on the north side and the nearest tube station is of course Westminster (one stop further if coming from the east side or one stop nearer if coming from the west side).I hope this is not too much of an inconvenience to you, having said that it's an inconvenience to me as i have to trace everyone going and forewarn them. If you know of anyone going could you please let them know on my behalf and i shall be most grateful. Thanks and look forward to seeing you all Easter Sunday.CYA!!!!!!Mick,P.S. For those of you that have access to Solar Radio on channel 944 on Sky Digital don't forget my show on Friday's 10pm - 01am with pleny of good music currently and yester year along with my old mate Conrad Bool from 01am - 03am. Take care.

Kaya at 19:55:41 Thursday April 5 2001
Evenin' mates! Kilmarnock 6 hours? More like 10!! Reckon I'd be up for it...

Scouserpaul at 19:13:3 Thursday April 5 2001
Evenin' chums! Put me down for Winsford, Terry. Sounds like another awayday is on the cards. Kilmarnock is a bit of a trek, though. Gotta be six hours plus....

TJ the DJ in the kitchen cooking pasta at 18:46:6 Thursday April 5 2001
Hello gang, what's all this talk of Roger Williams, Winsford and Yolanda Adams, brilliant tune Dave, was one of the big Howard tunes from 2000, and well requested on Access All Eras last year. Check out the remix of another cut from that album "Open Your Heart" it's a little gem. As for guests at Winsford, check out August kids, this old boy will be spinning some up there, Roger is a good pal of mine too. While on the subject of away days, I am going to be guesting at Bob Jeffries place in Kilmarnock on Saturday June 23rd. Do you reckon we could get a Choccie Soul/QOS/24-7/Soulboys beano rolling. If we could get 50 or 60 interested a coach would be a laugh, and not expensive, if we could fill it. We could go up Saturday morning and come back Sunday, there is a Travel Lodge just up the road £20 per room per night. Let me know what u reckon, I'm sure I could get Johnnie & Chi interested, probably Frostie & Bennett too. Off to Edinburgh tomorrow for Scottish Togetherness, should be cool, I'll let you have a report on Sunday.........TJ....xx

CD at 18:43:45 Thursday April 5 2001
Sorry Niki, I've just noticed I missed your call, I'll call you soon

Drumstix- LOL and Ramblin' at 18:40:32 Thursday April 5 2001
Hey Niki, your thread re last Saturday made me fall about laughing, suddenly all events of the night came back to me and I can't stop laughing-"erh mate I'll ing you a cab"! "EASTHAM! I'm not going to eastham you know"!- "Fag burn! nah 'onest it weren't me, tell you what I'll bring a CD from my van"- "Circles wicked tune don't cha fink? "NO"

Perv No 1 at 17:20:31 Thursday April 5 2001
Oi - PM - I bet you "went down" a storm with that line - must add it to the list . Oi Doris Gary knows you've got all your own teeth - they bitten arse enough times !! LOL xx

Kaya at 16:1:5 Thursday April 5 2001
How rude of me...Afternoon Maaates!

Kaya in Wardour Street at 16:0:33 Thursday April 5 2001
Steve W...I wouldn't say no! :)

Gary.M. at 15:56:32 Thursday April 5 2001
Afternoon Maates. Niki, can you give me a call in the office, I've got some very interesting info I've gleened from a certain Mr di Canio if your interested.

Dave D at 15:42:33 Thursday April 5 2001
Niki, Roger Williams is the main resident with some others that I don't know. Dean Johnson guested last month as Steve Aggisald couldn't make it (as per current issue of Blues & Soul) . I think they'll have some other well known guests each time. It's got a good reputation.

PM at 14:55:18 Thursday April 5 2001
I blame the pernods in the snakebites!!!

Niki at 14:55:16 Thursday April 5 2001
PM, serves you right!

Nik at 14:54:16 Thursday April 5 2001
Dave D, what DJs do they get up there? Anyone we might know?

PM in Still hiding at 14:53:36 Thursday April 5 2001
Ha ha, Niki, that wasn't the storm, it was the look of thunder on Kate's face when she heard what we'd been doing. I was not a popular chappie after that. Ooops!!

Nik at 14:50:3 Thursday April 5 2001
Simon, good boy!

Dave D at 14:47:42 Thursday April 5 2001
Niki, Winsford is in Cheshire. They have a northern/modern soul allnighter once every two months there. A fella I know, Roger Williams, has now been given resposibility for the modern room and by all accounts it's very good. He does me tapes every now and then which put me onto the Yolanda Adams track. I managed to find the CD yesterday in a little shop in Liverpool St. station.

Monk in sunny bisley NOT!!! at 14:43:28 Thursday April 5 2001
Afternoon Maates!!!

Simon at 14:37:17 Thursday April 5 2001
Niki - Brothers By Choice, ahem, I'll be playing it tomorrow evening at The Clinic!

Niki at 14:13:49 Thursday April 5 2001
My pop quiz.. who put the e's back into easy? That's the title, who's the artist? Don't ask me for the answer 'cos I don't know meeself :o)

Nik at 14:12:11 Thursday April 5 2001
Steve W, OK a little lateral thinking. Was it in this Forum (your entry under Kaya's)? Or on the spiral staircase at Catch? erm........

Niki at 14:10:59 Thursday April 5 2001
Allo Doris! Down girl. There was a runour yesterday that you're up to 121 bum's bitten. Is this true?

Niki at 14:9:58 Thursday April 5 2001
Dave D, thanks for the tip! Where's Winsford?

Doris at 14:8:37 Thursday April 5 2001
Afternoon from Sunny ROMFORD! I get all the nice spots don't I?!? And Gary and Steve - I am younger than both of you, at least my teeth are my own and its MY birthday at Caiter! So there! To everyone else - hello abd goodbye until later!

Dave D at 13:35:21 Thursday April 5 2001
A bit late I know but last week there was a little thread on gospel music. Check out Yolanda Adams "Already Alright" - great choon! It gets played at the modern room in Winsford.

Niki at 13:11:3 Thursday April 5 2001
PM, Are you sure the the 'storm' wasn't the thunderous noise of several hundred chicks running in the opposite direction?

Pumaman in Hiding now!!! at 12:45:46 Thursday April 5 2001
This is my favorite chat up line (as used at the Caister Toga party a few years ago) "Hi, this is my mate felatio, I'm cunnilingus, which one do you prefer??" Went down a storm!!! We were influenced by several sanakebites though!!!

Steve W at 12:45:2 Thursday April 5 2001
Its true & I have the evidence

Niki at 12:42:11 Thursday April 5 2001

Right, ahem, I hate to be one of those people that only pops up when they have something to plug but urgh, ahg, I can't fight it anymore..If anyone out there fancies a bit of funk, maybe you'd like to pop in to Catch this Friday. I'm on DJ duties - playing funk & 'rare grooves' alongside a live band "Funk Force Five", it'll be 'different'! Also, you won't bump into anyone off the scene..is that good or bad!? I think it's about a fiver to get in, I haven't got a guest list or I'd stick any takers on.

CD at 23:16:53 Tuesday April 3 2001

CDrumstix- Feeling backwardly ((o; at 23:47:3 Monday April 2 2001
"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for High School. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a ittle baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last 9 months floating...then you finish off as an orgasm! Amen."

CDrumstix at 23:30:36 Monday April 2 2001
hi Jo great to hear you had a good time at soul heaven, I see Ms minelli has (instantly) lead you astray!!! Allo Monk! Doris how are you feelin',last I saw of you, you were looking quite pale???

Carl D at 23:23:57 Monday April 2 2001
Hi all, I'm still recovering from the weekend! What a top one. Jo thanks for the comments about Choc Soul - glad you enjoyed yourself. TJ, it was a pleasure mate - great night too! Looks like I'll make it on your next trip up north on April 21st. Hope all went well tonight at the Jazz Cafe. Will be getting on a little 80s thing on soul24-7 in a sec about abaaht and I'll give 'em a shout.

Doris at 23:15:46 Monday April 2 2001

Monk at 22:54:58 Monday April 2 2001
Oi Ma Webbo, you're right you know!!! Browny is at Bang on Friday night!!

Jo in at home at 22:35:51 Monday April 2 2001
Hiya all, I have to say Choccy on Friday was the best, unfortunately my pal was flinging me around like a rag doll, So apologies if we knocked anyone, or their drinks over( But hey isn't that what Northern is all about.)NO DRINKS ON THE DANCE FLOOR. Top marks to craig for being the best host in enfieild. Although he needs to sack the driver. he! he! Driving around London to get their and walking around London to get home. Seem to remember 3 people crouched in a doorway for warmth. No they weren,t down an outs they were Me, Tracey and the Scouse. Oh by the way Paul, I have apologised for the phonecall. Really liked Soul Heaven ,I have been told I had a good time I think the sore head proved that yesterday morning. Scouse, thanks for making the tea and toast for everyone. (You will make a wonderfull wife one day.) Can anyone tell me where all this glitter is coming from .!!!!!!!!!!!! Craig, the instant flash worked, I looked quite human for work this morning. I shall have to by some for Caister. Maz , 'My Buddie' you're company for the whole weekend was as ever fun fun fun........................ thankx XXXX

ma webbo at 21:13:14 Monday April 2 2001
Monk ,sorry mate I`m sure Dikie said Brownie was there!

Monk at 20:49:44 Monday April 2 2001
Evenin Maates, Oi Mrs Webbo, I didn't know Brownie was on, And I don't think he knows, I'll ask!!!!

Mrs Webbo at 20:27:5 Monday April 2 2001
Hi Monk , are you about? Wanted to know if I`ll see you Friday @ Bang with Brownie.Hope you all had a good time Sat night and the French mum enjoyed herself. See ya soon.

Debs Webs in home at 20:18:34 Monday April 2 2001

Kaya, leaving now c u in 20, Timbo, c u in 50!! Dennis Taylor AND TJ, can't wait..... Catch you all for the midnite sesh.

Steve at 19:22:32 Monday April 2 2001
Soul Heaven was excellent, made even better by all the luverley people that I met. The only down side, well there was two actually, was getting out at St. Pauls, getting lost, ending up in Moorgate, and having to get a cab _back_ to Watling St! Going home was even worse, fell asleep on the District line ending up in Upminster and paying for _another_ cab back home. Oh well, it was worth it. Better than a night out in 'Nam anyday!

Niki at 19:17:1 Monday April 2 2001
What Tim said..... double !!!

Timbo at 18:17:57 Monday April 2 2001
Woo Woo - CID do Dennis Taylor - TJ as ever - you're a star - TD , QC - Later !!!

Paul at 18:14:30 Monday April 2 2001
Well, here goes... Tunes were pretty much as expected, just like I remember Soul Heaven was when it was at The Berwick Manor. Drinks seemed pricey (£4.40 for vodka & mixer, £3 a pint) though I think the shorts may have been doubles as standard. Lots of familiar faces there including a rare apperance by the Harlow boys. Nice venue on two levels with a bar & balcony overlooking the dancefloor plus lower bar. It was pretty busy downstairs but plenty of room in the upper bar. Journey was a nightmare due to us being unable to contact our driver for the return trip. We ended up in two moody cabs back to Enfield for £25 quid. And to think I only popped in to see me mates on me way home. Thanks for the 24 hour pass, Gina!

Niki at 17:55:15 Monday April 2 2001
Hi Lynda, Ali, Craig and anyone who went to Soul Heaven - what was it like, what was the music like, how many punters and general info on venue, travelling and drink prices required.

Niki at 17:53:13 Monday April 2 2001
Just to clear things up once and for all.... Me and Dawn DID NOT get into a fight, Spud DID NOT fall down the stairs, Tony's mate DID NOT get arrested and Frostie DID NOT break his leg. It was an April Fools gag, alright!!

Niki at 17:51:27 Monday April 2 2001
CD, yes I have got a picture actually!!! I'll post it up later, and archive the March entries.

CD-home from work at 17:46:44 Monday April 2 2001
Hi TJ!!!xxHi to everyone else!! Hey Niki, did you get a pic of the bandaged leg?? I can't belive how many people still forgot that it was April Fools day!

Steve at 17:44:14 Monday April 2 2001
Hi Lynda, Nick & Chop. Nice to speak(slur) to you again Saturday night. Hope you had a good journey home. Are you taking Chop to Caister?

Lynda Nick & 'Chop' in Very sunny Margate at 17:35:23 Monday April 2 2001
Hi yer maates! sounds like you all had an interesting weekend hope your well niki and dawn and is spud all right? Nick and I are looking forward to a drink or to with him at Caister! Glad you joined in Deano my old mate from Lewisham, it was great to see you Saturday nite, Maybe we can persuade some old DJ to play us some Jazz Funk at Caister! are you still comming? I hope you are.

Steve at 17:20:15 Monday April 2 2001
I forget to mention. DJ's and other professional anoraks CANT join in! :) Hi Terry.

TJ the DJ in door getting ready for DT at the JC at 17:11:40 Monday April 2 2001
East 83rd!!! far to posh 4 us lot, might be alright for bloody Odyssey, but with our musical taste we would be much better off "Across 110th St". Oh, must thank Carl D for the lift to The Howard, much appreciated mate, good company and plenty of soulful conversation, can't beat it. Brilliant nite as well, I'm gonna miss that residency big time, I mean in the middle of Bum Fuck Egypt, but well worth the travelling, awesome gaff. Gotta go now, getting the tube to drop me off at the corner of Park St & High St, sorry Steve, not quite got the same ring as E83rd has it? CYA later Niki/Kaya/Tim/Jane,& anyone else who's going....hello Doris/CD missed ya weekend, but we'll catch up soon.............xx

Steve at 16:54:12 Monday April 2 2001
Site suggestion: How 'bout a daily/weekly quiz, just a simple question on moozik/lyrics, etc. (seeing as a lot of you post snippets of lyrics). Simple daily questions, like... "Who gets dropped off on East 83rd"? would suffice, and would keep people busy and away from what their sposed to be doing, especially all them anoraks!

Niki at 16:53:19 Monday April 2 2001
Hi Bob, welcome to our cheesy site. Thanks for coming down and entertaining us at Chocolate Soul. We had a fab time. I've got a couple of good pics of you and TJ, which will be online sometime this week, so come and visit us again soon!

bob jeffries in kilmarnock at 16:24:44 Monday April 2 2001
A big thank you to all of you who made it along to Chocolate Soul on Friday night. I had a fantastic time and hope to return to london soon. Thanks to Terry for the gig and his hospitality. If you are going to Southport don't be shy come up and say hello(you can also buy me a beer if you like).

Steve W at 16:9:50 Monday April 2 2001
Result. I have the Spinners in my grubby little mitts (ok a carrier bag) for a measley £4. So cheers to everyone who was on the case.

QC at 15:49:45 Monday April 2 2001
Needless to say the second message from Drumstix Mansions yesterday was an April Fool's gag. If you fell for it don't be too upset.... Mick got on the phone to Scotty at the Snooker Club and told him that Frostie had broken his leg whilst DJing (!!!) and he had it all plastered up for the cup. Despite ending his conversation with "Scott, find out what the date is".... and "Scott, FRO YAFCM" the Chingford boys fell for it hook line and sinker. So we wrapped Frost's leg up in a sheet and bandages and made a very theatrical half hopping, half carrying entrance to the Club to rapturous applause.......... cheesy or what!

Niki at 15:42:56 Monday April 2 2001
HB & TD, tonite DT @ JC dundelt!!

Trudie in London at 15:11:39 Monday April 2 2001
I have two tickets for Dennis Taylor tomorrow night at the Jazz Cafe is anyone interested?

HB in CID - SWAT TEAM HQ at 14:31:16 Monday April 2 2001
Deano - your quite right - unfotunately no-one has has balls to play any jazz these days (sorry guys !), Mick Farrer has promised me some on boat - but no-ones bringing any newer jazz funk vibes too the seen - when they do play some its very safe - to his credit Gary slips a little Tania Maria now and again or you might get a bit of Atmosfear - and at Caister you'll get Sosilito from Hilly (like Grover never recorded anything else ?)- pos some old skool Jap Jazz /funk but it's pretty rare these days - somebody play some PAZ for f**cksake ! sermon over.

Monk at 14:26:47 Monday April 2 2001
Bit quiet in here today, HELLO MAAATES!!!! lets se if that wakes everyone up!

Steve at 13:0:58 Monday April 2 2001

Kaya at 12:38:2 Monday April 2 2001
Niki, I might be up for Dennis Taylor later too. I don't finish work 'til 7 though. What time are you going to Camden?

Niki at 12:30:50 Monday April 2 2001
Afternoon maaates!!!

Doris at 11:1:22 Monday April 2 2001

Choon worth checking dept: Over You by Warren Clarke coming out on Defcted (so who knows when?). Soulful funky boogie in a back in the day sylee

Bribo at 15:20:20 Sunday April 1 2001
Kaya my O'l mucker !. apparently our Niki got involved in a fracus with Dawn and some othe local girl in Canvey Island. What do you know about it ?

Kaya at 15:19:22 Sunday April 1 2001
Bribo, get with the programme, m8!

Kaya & David in Islington Heights at 15:18:3 Sunday April 1 2001
Dish the dirt!!

Bribo at 15:16:26 Sunday April 1 2001
Wot, the sight of clothes being ripped off of a woman by another woman, bare breasts doesn't do it for you Steve?

Steve W at 15:12:4 Sunday April 1 2001
speak for yourself mate

Bribo at 15:10:45 Sunday April 1 2001
Steve... That's what I thought. The last girlie fight I saw was really violent. There was bra straps flying about, hair pulling clothes ripping. ....Sorry did I say violent. I was ment to say erotic !!

Bribo in a terrible mental place at 15:6:52 Sunday April 1 2001
I am slowly, ever so slowly going crazy with boredom over here in Blackfriers. The streets are deserted. Has the world ended without me knowing ?

Steve W at 15:6:29 Sunday April 1 2001
Nikki in a fight Nah!!

Bribo in @ work at 15:0:49 Sunday April 1 2001
Wow .. I missed a girlie fight. I can't imagine our Niki scrapping !! Now I know the world has gone mad !!

CD, Mickey, Frostie and QC in Drumstick Mansions at 14:55:16 Sunday April 1 2001
Allo maaates. Rough night in Canvey last nite - Dawn and Nikki got into a fight with a local Canvey slapper and got thrown out by the bouncers...... Spud fell down the steps to Astairs and had to be rushed to hospital and Tony's mate arrested trying to break into the next door caravan

Frostie in Drumstick Mansions at 14:51:21 Sunday April 1 2001
Allo maaaaaaates!! What a weekender! QoS for starters with Tom and Gary, followed by Chocolate Soul in the honorable company of Bob Jeffries, Terry Jones and the Webbos - a Southport Old Bastards reunion before the event! Bob and Terry provided the best two hours of tunes heard this side of London this year. Back to Arana Towers to enjoy Jim the Syrup's crate of lager. Such fun that West Ham and Arsenal were FRO'd in favour of beer drinking and talking b....x - well I was playing at Canvey Island that night and only a brave posse ventures into that territory after dusk. Chicken Drumstick agreed to ride shotgun and Dolly was there to give a helping hand - just one, the other was broken deliberately in order to gain a sympathy vote should the locals turn nasty. However, our fears were unfounded once Spud and Tony arrived and raised the roof with a storming set. The local boys did good if I may say so myself, and the floor was graced with a dance routine by Niki & Dawn, so much so that all handbags and shaggy perms were put to shame! Of the events that happened in Caravan B1......... well they would give Caravn 28 a run for it's money. Just don't mention East Ham....

Steve W away with the elephants at 14:41:20 Sunday April 1 2001

Hiya, Hope everyone is well. Thanks to everyone who came down to Chocolate Soul on Friday. It was an absolute pleasure to have Bob Jeffries down. Thanks very much, you were excellent! Well I delivered TJ the DJ safely back home this morning after the fantastic gig at The Howard. If you didn't ever manage to get there you really missed out. I now can't wait until May when we have Mike Stephens down. You are all in for a treat! Chris you should check out Queens of Soul in Grays on Good Friday. Terry Jones and the Sour Mash Collective are the guests and its free to get in. (Check the reviews page for info on the night)
