JANE
in Manchester at 19:45:32 Thursday May 31 2001
Hello to Niki & Kaya - I last saw you both at Dennis Taylor @ the Jazz cafe & Niki @ Southport. So how was Caister? I must say that the quality of Soul music I think is much better up North now that I am up here. For example every wednesday The Temple of Convenience does a soul nighr=t does a soul nite called The Do in the Loo The venue of course used to be a public toilet!! But I still miss london a bit especially Terry;s do's @ Catch 22 although i believe the one with Mike Stephens was kicking ( a local lad up here!) He's lovely!! bump into u sometime - Jane

Niki at 10:41:31 Thursday May 31 2001
Carl, no! It's only a four track album, and only that one is any good really. You may be thinking of Love Symphony Orchestra "Let Me Be Your Fantasy", which I often played along with the Frisky and Michele.
Carl D at 10:31:20 Thursday May 31 2001
Frisky - of course. I knew it was some kind of pet food! ;o) There was a second decent track on there though, wasn't there?
Niki at 10:16:45 Thursday May 31 2001
.... the other side of the album is a bit ropey though, especially "Tutty Frutty Booty"
Steve W at 10:14:49 Thursday May 31 2001
Mike Mc please get in touch as I need to pick your brian.
Niki at 10:14:49 Thursday May 31 2001
Morning!!! Carl D, "You've Got Me Dancing In My Sleep" is by Frisky, 1979 Vanguard, 128bpm :o)) Definitely one of my top 5 cheesy disco classics.

Help support Soul24-7.com by coming along to a FREE night. You are all aware of the financial difficulties of running this wonderful station and the lengths that Alex has gone to keep it going. The DJ's have responded by putting on a SOUL 24-7 night every Saturday from 6 pm until midnight at S*M*E*R*S*H Bar, 5 Ravey Street, Hoxton, London E1. Admission to the bar is free, and the management has agreed to make a regular donation to the station which will also be used towards its broadband costs. This Saturday's guest DJs (June 2nd) will be The Sour Mash Collective. We will be spinning Leroy Burgess inspired Boogie, MAW inspired Soulful Garage along with the best and latest RnB. We're really looking forward to Saturday and would love to see you. Its an alternative to the Lacy Lady with much cheaper drink prices. S*M*E*R*S*H is just around the corner from our usual monthly night at Chocolate Soul. (Off Gt Eastern St. - the one way bit round the corner from the Norfolk Village). Sorry for the blatent plug but we're doing it for nothing and its for a good cause.
Drumstix at 16:6:56 Wednesday May 30 2001
"Keep the fire burning"
Niki at 16:5:31 Wednesday May 30 2001

I think Richie C might be organising a group booking when he gets back from New York.. It's Andy Ten Pints 40th birthday around that time.
Niki at 14:9:43 Wednesday May 30 2001
Oi!!! Wot've you lot been doing to my poor dog??? Scoutmaster, Ollie is a bit of a wimp and suffers from car-sickness, so he may have to stay at home....

Akela at 12:29:49 Wednesday May 30 2001
ATTENTION SCOUTMASTER & SCOUTS!!!!! Yes, we are going camping! This year's Midsummer Party (aka The Soulstice Sesh 2 aka Soulboys Carry On Camping) takes place on Saturday 16th June at the Stone Circle, Avebury, Wiltshire. The Scoutmaster has procured a large frame tent and a smaller one, so we can 'sleep' about 10 so far. The plan is to set up in a campsite near Avebury, go to Avebury pub, sit around by stones, commune with druids etc, late-night campfire shenanigans, back to pub for Sunday Lunch before drive home..... get your tents, sleeping bags and camping gaz stoves out and away we go. ALL WELCOME. Contact Monk or Niki for further details.
Bev in making the most of the Internet at work today! at 12:24:58 Wednesday May 30 2001

Gary.M. in Whiter Than White Whites at 22:13:22 Tuesday May 29 2001
Spot on Scouser, Ultra High Frequency - We're On The right Track, thats the one, thats been bugging me all weekend. The original was a bit of a Goldmine fav with Mr Hilly I seem to remember, lets hope someone reserects the original in the not too distant future. Evening Niki and Kaya howa doin. The answer to your problem is simple. Spray the said garment with Ace Bleach then straight into the machine on 40 degrees. God I'm getting so domesticated.
Kaya & Niki hang in g round for Phil Levene at 22:12:33 Tuesday May 29 2001

Allo "Scouse in the House" maaate! Did you have a good birthday weekend then? We sure enjoyed it.
scouserpaul - not always the first cab off the rank at 21:19:19 Tuesday May 29 2001
Gary - I've just re-read your entry re the Michelle track. I think we're talking about the same tune.
Kaya in Lymeahrse at 21:0:38 Tuesday May 29 2001
Andy, you're most welcome, maaate. :O))
scouserpaul at 20:58:2 Tuesday May 29 2001
Well done Andy - sterling work!
scouserpaul at 20:57:11 Tuesday May 29 2001
Gary, the original was by Ultra High Frequency & was titled "We're On The Right Track" from 1973. Is it about time I got myself a flask & notebook, then?
Mark in wishing he could do it all again at 20:54:43 Tuesday May 29 2001
Niki - Many thanks for the E-Mails.. Blimey ;o))))
Niki & Kaya at 20:37:1 Tuesday May 29 2001
Evening Gary, do you know anything that's good for snakebite stains??
Gary.M. at 20:21:51 Tuesday May 29 2001
That should of course read "Hats off to both of you Gents". Right where's me Persil?
Gary.M. at 20:18:58 Tuesday May 29 2001
Scouser re the Soul Heaven choon, who did the original back in the year dot. I know we had a massive debate about it on Friday at Bar Bed but I cant for the life of me remember what the outcome was, must have been the copious amounts of Pimms that was consumed. Talking of Bar Bed, no ones mentioned the blinding sets that were played by Webbo and Shep there on Friday pre Choc Soul, so I will now. Hats off for both of you Gents. Right off now to finish me washing and ironing. Will be back on-line later for your answer Scouser.
Lisa-Jane at 20:15:2 Tuesday May 29 2001
You all sound like your weekend was as hot as mine... lots of rum punch in the Boatyard - no point going in the ship inn unless its Thursday! - hit Oistin's on Friday with the Dover crew and macaroni pie from the Chefette - me got the job done and did me liming on Dover.... off to bed... thanks Bev for the lift home

Someone get Frostie to say cheese.......no,I said say cheese,not play cheese....
Tenerife Dave in Tenerife at 13:47:18 Tuesday May 29 2001
Hi everyone and a special hello to Frostie, glad you're still alive maaate ! I wasn't going to join in the recent debates and was staying on the fence, but.... this talk of lists of what one may expect to hear from certain djs at certain times in certain rooms etc, surely would take away the spontaneity and the art of the dj "reading the crowd" ? Anyway hope you're all OK and Frostie hope you're arm's on the mend, laters, TD. ps Nikki did you get my email.
Niki at 13:6:19 Tuesday May 29 2001
I'm gonna be shuffling some files about over the next few days, so please report any broken links you come across on this forum. Also the music page has got to go for now...... hopefully we'll still have a site on Friday!!!!!

Maz at 11:0:35 Tuesday May 29 2001
A great big THANK YOU to everyone who helped me (and all the birthday people) celebrate over the weekend!! It all started Friday at Chocolate Soul which was FANTASTIC, Top people and the best tunes, what more can you ask for to celebrate your birthday?! Thanks to the SourMash boys for the cake and Niki for the 'Soulboys' cards - and thanks to everyone for signing them, although I did notice a certain man from the Monastery had failed to make his mark?? :o) Also, thanks to Big Stu and Stav and all the djs at Maulden Sunday, another great day / evening of great people and great music! (I say great alot don't I?!) Well done Paul, you did bloomin' marvellous mate!! More thanks for more cake to Jo - you are a darlin' and will always be my best buddy!! In all - THANKS MATES!!!! and a special thanks to Carl - I had a fantastic weekend!!
Steve W at 10:27:4 Tuesday May 29 2001
Frostie You are right Caister is a different beast than it was and thats not a bad thing, the problem as far as I can see is that those who are at the top forget that there'll always be those who want that little bit extra. If things don't progress then the scene will die again and then what... I'm not saying we have to go back to playing obscure Japenese records found in texan warehouses however we never talk about the "big" caister records (apart from Magic) New tackle is sadly being neglected OK James Ingram got played but why aren't records such as Romina Johnson getting spun at peaktimes in the mainroom. These are "boom" times for the first time in a longtime there are actually records that are of a decent quality. lets not aquander this oppotunity.
Drumstix at 10:19:53 Tuesday May 29 2001

Getting worried now coz when I pick me phone up the caller hangs up. Very weird and I need to get some sleep! Oi Craig - perhaps Edna's come back to haunt me! ;o>

Had a thought over the balmy weekend whilst listening to some old toons . Enough of us work in and around the city to maybe resurrect a 'Crackers type ' Friday lunchtime regular get together .Any comments !!??....
Gary.M. at 9:17:17 Tuesday May 29 2001
Sorry, me again. Thanx also for everbody making Choc Soul on Friday such a superb night. Extra special thanx to Niki, Drunstix, Monk, Lee, Steve W and Kaya for the afters session back at Arana Towers, most enjoyable.
Gary.M. at 9:10:45 Tuesday May 29 2001
Morning Maates. Oi Scouser Paul, managed to bag the Soul Heaven track by Deep Sensation, havn't stopped playing it all weekend, top choon. Big thanx to Chi and Neill for the Queens of Soul on Tour Brentwood do, a nice short 8 hour session, with just about every music genre you could think of. Highlights had to be Neills soulful House session, the man just gets better and better, Chi's cheesy last hour set, more cheese than a lump of cheddar, and Neills last half hour "Goldmine" set, complete with Hilly style echo box!!. For those who are interested the venue holds about 150 punters split into a stylish front bar, and a blinding sun terrace, complete with retractable roof, which is closed at about 9 ish (due I suspect to the boring council bods rules on noise). The sounds are situated in the terrace, with the music also pipped through to the bar as well. Quite a mixed bag of punters in terms of age, from mid twenties up to old farts like us, although all seemed to be up for the cup, and by the last 3 hours the place was rocking. Drink prices were reasonable, but beware of the draught lager, some unheard of German name and pretty potent!!!. The bar staff are on the ball so beer queing kept to a minimum. The venue is totally free to get in, so all in all a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday Afternnon/Evening/Night listening to music that we all love. The Queens of Soul Tour Bus makes its next stop in Brentwood some time in June, so keep an eye and ear out for the next date.
Agent mAb at 9:2:59 Tuesday May 29 2001
Morning Maaaates Have a nice day.. Cheryl - I agree with you 100% - its always a fresher option ??? ;o)))

Nick P in swaying at 22:25:52 Monday May 28 2001
Frostie's taken the bait....but, he's absolutely right, there is no such thing as a bad Caister. If it was so bad, why would we go back??? You all know the answer to that one....

Agent MaB in Rose coloured glasses at 14:32:0 Monday May 28 2001
Frostie Maaaate .. Is that the 4 till 9 set that I did from 12 til' 8 and handed over to you!! Mind you..i can vouch for you being sober ;o)) Bribo - Get the tapes out !!
Frostie at 13:15:28 Monday May 28 2001
Hello MAAAAAAAAAATES! Blimey - I haven't crashed out in a chalet like that before! A very special thanks maaaates, to all the people who showed concern and contacted me and the Soulboys website to see how I was shaping up. For those of you who have asked/insisted, sorry to disappoint but I wasn't intoxicated/out of it. The truth of the matter was I was sober having just finished a 5 hour (4 to 9am) Radio set and was invited to Chalet 121 for a well deserved snakebite breakfast. A friend who I have not seen for 3 years heard on the radio where I was going and decided to surprise me by knocking on the door and overdoing the "Hello Maaaaate!" embrace - so much so that his 15 stone body weight fell into me sending me through the window. A natural reaction was to protect my head from going through the glass, which meant that the flesh on my arm ripped open to such an extent that the elbow joint was visible. In fact my first thought was "whatever happened to those Down to the Bone nights?" Having spent the last few hours round Arana Towers catching on what's been said over the last few weeks, I will try to set the record straight on a few matters. First of all to my knowledge none of the DJs at Caister are told what to play. Common sense should prevail - if I'm following Chris Brown for example in the early hours of the morning in the Alternative Room, and Hilly/Froggy is on in the main room, I would take a box of Modern Soul classics, knowing that a load of fellow maaaaaates go to Caister specifically to hear that kind of stuff - they've done the Main Room thing for years and prefer to wait for the Finale. Not that I'm in any way knocking the Main Room. I've said it before, Chris (and yes Froggy) are absolutely brilliant at working the room and I couldn't see Caister surviving without Hilly. For those of us that remember back to the late 70s/early 80s when the Main Room provided a broad selection of jazz-fusion, rare soul and funky stuff, times have changed. Isn't the whole point in having a second room to provide an alternative to the established Main Room gems? I also realise that on a Saturday night after the Appalling Talent Show finishes and the Main Room shuts, the majority of Caister maaaates are 'Up for the Cup' and it's time for a box of anthems that I feel relatively sure will not be played later. Now... Tell me what makes a good/bad Caister? I'm sorry, but I've heard the lot. Some bloke saying it's the best Caister ever 'cos he shagged some good-looking bird, another saying it was bad 'cos he got pissed on the first night and was so hungover he couldn't get into it. I'll tell you there's no such thing as a bad Caister - it's what you make it. The thing that sets Caister aside from other weekenders is that it's a soul weekender not a dance weekender, and if I need to explain that, then you wouldn't understand. With regards to 'Circles'. I would add that it is one of a handful of Caister anthems that you know will set the Main Room buzzing. It's up there with 'Magic', 'Runaway', 'Shout', 'Love Town' etc. However during a Connoisseurs Soul Set at Caister last year, I was repeatedly asked to play 'Circles' by a group of four people, which is rather like Froggy being asked to play 'something jazzy' during his Mega-mix session. When I suggested that the group concerned were perhaps in the wrong room, I was informed that it had been played 20 minutes earlier in the Main Room, so they thought it could be played in a different room during another set. The following day I played the Willie Hutch classic 'In and Out' (which inspired a dance involving rotating your fingers in a circle), and was thanked by one of the group for not forgetting to play 'Circles' much to the amusement of Kaya & Niki. Finally, Brian's epic reply last week suggested that maaaates should go to HQ with feedback. So now it's up to yourselves to log into the Caister Guestbook and tell him what you want - another afternoon Connoisseurs session in the pub, abolishment of the Pool Party, info in the programme giving an indication of the music to be played during each set, an inclusion of a box of candles in the caravans (just in case) and most of all the purchase of a xylophone similar to the one used by Gladys in Hi-De-Hi to compliment the loudspeaker PA system when Brian delivers a newsflash! Only joking Brian! You could even suggest that I could be given a late(ish) set in the Main Room and I'll play Kid Creole especially for Nick P. In fact, thinking about it, I'm up for a set of daring 80s 12"s, you know, Lionel Richie 'All Night Long', Galaxy 'Dancing Tight', Imagination 'Just an Illusion' and Fat Larry's Band 'Zoom'... but I'll draw the line at Sister Sledge 'Frankie' or Ottowan 'D.I.S.C.O'!! Any more suggestions maaates?

Hello to Niki & Kaya - I last saw you both at Dennis Taylor @ the Jazz cafe & Niki @ Southport. So how was Caister? I must say that the quality of Soul music I think is much better up North now that I am up here. For example every wednesday The Temple of Convenience does a soul nighr=t does a soul nite called The Do in the Loo The venue of course used to be a public toilet!! But I still miss london a bit especially Terry;s do's @ Catch 22 although i believe the one with Mike Stephens was kicking ( a local lad up here!) He's lovely!! bump into u sometime - Jane

SteveW my work no is 0207 357 1943 await your call .
Niki at 10:41:31 Thursday May 31 2001
Carl, no! It's only a four track album, and only that one is any good really. You may be thinking of Love Symphony Orchestra "Let Me Be Your Fantasy", which I often played along with the Frisky and Michele.
Carl D at 10:31:20 Thursday May 31 2001
Frisky - of course. I knew it was some kind of pet food! ;o) There was a second decent track on there though, wasn't there?
Niki at 10:16:45 Thursday May 31 2001
.... the other side of the album is a bit ropey though, especially "Tutty Frutty Booty"
Steve W at 10:14:49 Thursday May 31 2001
Mike Mc please get in touch as I need to pick your brian.
Niki at 10:14:49 Thursday May 31 2001
Morning!!! Carl D, "You've Got Me Dancing In My Sleep" is by Frisky, 1979 Vanguard, 128bpm :o)) Definitely one of my top 5 cheesy disco classics.

Help support Soul24-7.com by coming along to a FREE night. You are all aware of the financial difficulties of running this wonderful station and the lengths that Alex has gone to keep it going. The DJ's have responded by putting on a SOUL 24-7 night every Saturday from 6 pm until midnight at S*M*E*R*S*H Bar, 5 Ravey Street, Hoxton, London E1. Admission to the bar is free, and the management has agreed to make a regular donation to the station which will also be used towards its broadband costs. This Saturday's guest DJs (June 2nd) will be The Sour Mash Collective. We will be spinning Leroy Burgess inspired Boogie, MAW inspired Soulful Garage along with the best and latest RnB. We're really looking forward to Saturday and would love to see you. Its an alternative to the Lacy Lady with much cheaper drink prices. S*M*E*R*S*H is just around the corner from our usual monthly night at Chocolate Soul. (Off Gt Eastern St. - the one way bit round the corner from the Norfolk Village). Sorry for the blatent plug but we're doing it for nothing and its for a good cause.
Drumstix at 16:6:56 Wednesday May 30 2001

I think Richie C might be organising a group booking when he gets back from New York.. It's Andy Ten Pints 40th birthday around that time.
Niki at 14:9:43 Wednesday May 30 2001
Oi!!! Wot've you lot been doing to my poor dog??? Scoutmaster, Ollie is a bit of a wimp and suffers from car-sickness, so he may have to stay at home....

Allo Lee. Have you recovered from your kidnapping ordeal yet?
Akela at 12:29:49 Wednesday May 30 2001
ATTENTION SCOUTMASTER & SCOUTS!!!!! Yes, we are going camping! This year's Midsummer Party (aka The Soulstice Sesh 2 aka Soulboys Carry On Camping) takes place on Saturday 16th June at the Stone Circle, Avebury, Wiltshire. The Scoutmaster has procured a large frame tent and a smaller one, so we can 'sleep' about 10 so far. The plan is to set up in a campsite near Avebury, go to Avebury pub, sit around by stones, commune with druids etc, late-night campfire shenanigans, back to pub for Sunday Lunch before drive home..... get your tents, sleeping bags and camping gaz stoves out and away we go. ALL WELCOME. Contact Monk or Niki for further details.
Bev in making the most of the Internet at work today! at 12:24:58 Wednesday May 30 2001

Gary.M. in Whiter Than White Whites at 22:13:22 Tuesday May 29 2001
Spot on Scouser, Ultra High Frequency - We're On The right Track, thats the one, thats been bugging me all weekend. The original was a bit of a Goldmine fav with Mr Hilly I seem to remember, lets hope someone reserects the original in the not too distant future. Evening Niki and Kaya howa doin. The answer to your problem is simple. Spray the said garment with Ace Bleach then straight into the machine on 40 degrees. God I'm getting so domesticated.

Mark in wishing he could do it all again at 20:54:43 Tuesday May 29 2001
Niki - Many thanks for the E-Mails.. Blimey ;o))))
Niki & Kaya at 20:37:1 Tuesday May 29 2001
Evening Gary, do you know anything that's good for snakebite stains??
Gary.M. at 20:21:51 Tuesday May 29 2001
That should of course read "Hats off to both of you Gents". Right where's me Persil?
Gary.M. at 20:18:58 Tuesday May 29 2001
Scouser re the Soul Heaven choon, who did the original back in the year dot. I know we had a massive debate about it on Friday at Bar Bed but I cant for the life of me remember what the outcome was, must have been the copious amounts of Pimms that was consumed. Talking of Bar Bed, no ones mentioned the blinding sets that were played by Webbo and Shep there on Friday pre Choc Soul, so I will now. Hats off for both of you Gents. Right off now to finish me washing and ironing. Will be back on-line later for your answer Scouser.
Lisa-Jane at 20:15:2 Tuesday May 29 2001
You all sound like your weekend was as hot as mine... lots of rum punch in the Boatyard - no point going in the ship inn unless its Thursday! - hit Oistin's on Friday with the Dover crew and macaroni pie from the Chefette - me got the job done and did me liming on Dover.... off to bed... thanks Bev for the lift home

A special thanks to Mark (not MaB)for playing "Circles" for everyone @ Soulboys, did you miss the point or was that irony? :)) Excellent sets by all the DJ's concerned, especially Andy (from Noo Joisey) for the best set of the day/night!! (sorry Scouse, Stav, Mark, Ian & Mark - and anyone else who played!). Excellent company too, cheers Niki, Doris, Frostie, Chezza & MaB, Scouse, Tracy, Bev, Craig, Tony, fern, Suzanne, Dog, D'arcy, Dave, Juliette, Maz, Carl and a load of others too numerous to mention!

Tenerife Dave in Tenerife at 13:47:18 Tuesday May 29 2001
Hi everyone and a special hello to Frostie, glad you're still alive maaate ! I wasn't going to join in the recent debates and was staying on the fence, but.... this talk of lists of what one may expect to hear from certain djs at certain times in certain rooms etc, surely would take away the spontaneity and the art of the dj "reading the crowd" ? Anyway hope you're all OK and Frostie hope you're arm's on the mend, laters, TD. ps Nikki did you get my email.
Niki at 13:6:19 Tuesday May 29 2001

A great big THANK YOU to everyone who helped me (and all the birthday people) celebrate over the weekend!! It all started Friday at Chocolate Soul which was FANTASTIC, Top people and the best tunes, what more can you ask for to celebrate your birthday?! Thanks to the SourMash boys for the cake and Niki for the 'Soulboys' cards - and thanks to everyone for signing them, although I did notice a certain man from the Monastery had failed to make his mark?? :o) Also, thanks to Big Stu and Stav and all the djs at Maulden Sunday, another great day / evening of great people and great music! (I say great alot don't I?!) Well done Paul, you did bloomin' marvellous mate!! More thanks for more cake to Jo - you are a darlin' and will always be my best buddy!! In all - THANKS MATES!!!! and a special thanks to Carl - I had a fantastic weekend!!
Steve W at 10:27:4 Tuesday May 29 2001
Frostie You are right Caister is a different beast than it was and thats not a bad thing, the problem as far as I can see is that those who are at the top forget that there'll always be those who want that little bit extra. If things don't progress then the scene will die again and then what... I'm not saying we have to go back to playing obscure Japenese records found in texan warehouses however we never talk about the "big" caister records (apart from Magic) New tackle is sadly being neglected OK James Ingram got played but why aren't records such as Romina Johnson getting spun at peaktimes in the mainroom. These are "boom" times for the first time in a longtime there are actually records that are of a decent quality. lets not aquander this oppotunity.

Getting worried now coz when I pick me phone up the caller hangs up. Very weird and I need to get some sleep! Oi Craig - perhaps Edna's come back to haunt me! ;o>

Gary.M. at 9:17:17 Tuesday May 29 2001
Sorry, me again. Thanx also for everbody making Choc Soul on Friday such a superb night. Extra special thanx to Niki, Drunstix, Monk, Lee, Steve W and Kaya for the afters session back at Arana Towers, most enjoyable.
Gary.M. at 9:10:45 Tuesday May 29 2001
Morning Maates. Oi Scouser Paul, managed to bag the Soul Heaven track by Deep Sensation, havn't stopped playing it all weekend, top choon. Big thanx to Chi and Neill for the Queens of Soul on Tour Brentwood do, a nice short 8 hour session, with just about every music genre you could think of. Highlights had to be Neills soulful House session, the man just gets better and better, Chi's cheesy last hour set, more cheese than a lump of cheddar, and Neills last half hour "Goldmine" set, complete with Hilly style echo box!!. For those who are interested the venue holds about 150 punters split into a stylish front bar, and a blinding sun terrace, complete with retractable roof, which is closed at about 9 ish (due I suspect to the boring council bods rules on noise). The sounds are situated in the terrace, with the music also pipped through to the bar as well. Quite a mixed bag of punters in terms of age, from mid twenties up to old farts like us, although all seemed to be up for the cup, and by the last 3 hours the place was rocking. Drink prices were reasonable, but beware of the draught lager, some unheard of German name and pretty potent!!!. The bar staff are on the ball so beer queing kept to a minimum. The venue is totally free to get in, so all in all a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday Afternnon/Evening/Night listening to music that we all love. The Queens of Soul Tour Bus makes its next stop in Brentwood some time in June, so keep an eye and ear out for the next date.

Nick P in swaying at 22:25:52 Monday May 28 2001
Frostie's taken the bait....but, he's absolutely right, there is no such thing as a bad Caister. If it was so bad, why would we go back??? You all know the answer to that one....

Agent MaB in Rose coloured glasses at 14:32:0 Monday May 28 2001
Frostie Maaaate .. Is that the 4 till 9 set that I did from 12 til' 8 and handed over to you!! Mind you..i can vouch for you being sober ;o)) Bribo - Get the tapes out !!
Frostie at 13:15:28 Monday May 28 2001
Hello MAAAAAAAAAATES! Blimey - I haven't crashed out in a chalet like that before! A very special thanks maaaates, to all the people who showed concern and contacted me and the Soulboys website to see how I was shaping up. For those of you who have asked/insisted, sorry to disappoint but I wasn't intoxicated/out of it. The truth of the matter was I was sober having just finished a 5 hour (4 to 9am) Radio set and was invited to Chalet 121 for a well deserved snakebite breakfast. A friend who I have not seen for 3 years heard on the radio where I was going and decided to surprise me by knocking on the door and overdoing the "Hello Maaaaate!" embrace - so much so that his 15 stone body weight fell into me sending me through the window. A natural reaction was to protect my head from going through the glass, which meant that the flesh on my arm ripped open to such an extent that the elbow joint was visible. In fact my first thought was "whatever happened to those Down to the Bone nights?" Having spent the last few hours round Arana Towers catching on what's been said over the last few weeks, I will try to set the record straight on a few matters. First of all to my knowledge none of the DJs at Caister are told what to play. Common sense should prevail - if I'm following Chris Brown for example in the early hours of the morning in the Alternative Room, and Hilly/Froggy is on in the main room, I would take a box of Modern Soul classics, knowing that a load of fellow maaaaaates go to Caister specifically to hear that kind of stuff - they've done the Main Room thing for years and prefer to wait for the Finale. Not that I'm in any way knocking the Main Room. I've said it before, Chris (and yes Froggy) are absolutely brilliant at working the room and I couldn't see Caister surviving without Hilly. For those of us that remember back to the late 70s/early 80s when the Main Room provided a broad selection of jazz-fusion, rare soul and funky stuff, times have changed. Isn't the whole point in having a second room to provide an alternative to the established Main Room gems? I also realise that on a Saturday night after the Appalling Talent Show finishes and the Main Room shuts, the majority of Caister maaaates are 'Up for the Cup' and it's time for a box of anthems that I feel relatively sure will not be played later. Now... Tell me what makes a good/bad Caister? I'm sorry, but I've heard the lot. Some bloke saying it's the best Caister ever 'cos he shagged some good-looking bird, another saying it was bad 'cos he got pissed on the first night and was so hungover he couldn't get into it. I'll tell you there's no such thing as a bad Caister - it's what you make it. The thing that sets Caister aside from other weekenders is that it's a soul weekender not a dance weekender, and if I need to explain that, then you wouldn't understand. With regards to 'Circles'. I would add that it is one of a handful of Caister anthems that you know will set the Main Room buzzing. It's up there with 'Magic', 'Runaway', 'Shout', 'Love Town' etc. However during a Connoisseurs Soul Set at Caister last year, I was repeatedly asked to play 'Circles' by a group of four people, which is rather like Froggy being asked to play 'something jazzy' during his Mega-mix session. When I suggested that the group concerned were perhaps in the wrong room, I was informed that it had been played 20 minutes earlier in the Main Room, so they thought it could be played in a different room during another set. The following day I played the Willie Hutch classic 'In and Out' (which inspired a dance involving rotating your fingers in a circle), and was thanked by one of the group for not forgetting to play 'Circles' much to the amusement of Kaya & Niki. Finally, Brian's epic reply last week suggested that maaaates should go to HQ with feedback. So now it's up to yourselves to log into the Caister Guestbook and tell him what you want - another afternoon Connoisseurs session in the pub, abolishment of the Pool Party, info in the programme giving an indication of the music to be played during each set, an inclusion of a box of candles in the caravans (just in case) and most of all the purchase of a xylophone similar to the one used by Gladys in Hi-De-Hi to compliment the loudspeaker PA system when Brian delivers a newsflash! Only joking Brian! You could even suggest that I could be given a late(ish) set in the Main Room and I'll play Kid Creole especially for Nick P. In fact, thinking about it, I'm up for a set of daring 80s 12"s, you know, Lionel Richie 'All Night Long', Galaxy 'Dancing Tight', Imagination 'Just an Illusion' and Fat Larry's Band 'Zoom'... but I'll draw the line at Sister Sledge 'Frankie' or Ottowan 'D.I.S.C.O'!! Any more suggestions maaates?

Evening all. I had to put a message up to say thank you all for a top night at Chocolate Soul. I had a great night and I shall be back. I'd like to say a special thanks to Niki, Kaya, Drumstix, Gary, Monk & Steve for making feel so welcome. Niki cheers for letting me crash out @ Arana Towers. TJ, top sounds mate. It's so good to hear some real soul sounds again, the problem is my record collection now sounds very naff!!!!! It's a shame I can't make tomorrow as I have other plans, but I'll keep in touch and hopefully I can make the next doo.

Looking forward to seeing you again tomorrow!!!!!

Panic over, the pics are already safely downloaded to the PC (good one of you and Pete there, and what am I doing kissing all those men!?!) Right, time for a quick nap on a sun-lounger before the Arana Towers BBQ tonite.....

I'm in need of a few jokes so here's the starter. After a day at the races a few horses were discussing how many races each had one in his career. " I've won 8 out of 15 of my races, " said one horse. " I've won 16 out of 23 of mine, " said another. A third one said, " I've won 28 out of 36 of the races I've been in. " Suddenly, in the stall next to them, a greyhound who had been listening in said, " I don't mean to boast, but I' ve won 88 out of 90 races." Then after an odd moment of silence one of the horses blurts out, " Holy cow! A talking dog! "

Straight over traffic lights nearest Catch Bar (junction of Kingsland Road/Old Street/Hackney Road), straight through next traffic lights (Bethnal Green Road), left into Commercial Street. Bottom of Commercial Street turn left, but get in right hand lane and go right round the Aldgate Roundabout (it's got a big building in the middle) - Leman Street is second left and Bar-Bed is about 100yards down on the right.

Mark, straight down the A1 - Archway Road/Holloway Road until you get to Highbury & Islington Station. Turn left onto St. Paul Road/Balls Pond Road and turn right (3 or 4 sets of traffic lights later) onto Kingsland Road. Problem is I don't know if you can turn right at Ball Pond/Kingsland Road junction... but anyway Catch is at the southernmost end of Kingsland Road, just before you get to the Shoreditch one-way system....

Mornin all. I poped over to Aldgate last night to check out the footie chances. I don't think theres a screen in the Bed Bar but what do I know. There is one in the boozer diagonally opposite (think it's the "Dispensary") and it,s also on at the "Seven Stars" by Aldgate East Stn. P.S. Has anyone seen the 25 pint of lager that seems to be coming my way ? I'd hate to lose them. Roll on 5.30

To soulboys over east london (and anywhere) A new soul spot is starting on Sunday 3rd June at Hobs Nobs bar in Gants Hill, Ilford. Playing weekender anthems and new and old tunes, this could become a regular spot if we get enough people supporting it. What better way to finish off the week! Here's to bringing a little bit of Caister to Ilford!

Niki, cfm-resources.com are quite good(and free). One suggestion I'd make is to archive the forum page more frequently (like daily/weekly). Just for May it's 460K. I assume that's 460K+ downloaded for every user and every visit/entry. Let me know, and I could do you an ASP version of the forum that lists only 1 day or 1 week at a time (possibly with a 'More' button to read older entries)

Someone asked a while back about another version of Watching Life i think. There is a version by Side Effects prouduced by Augie Johnson Can't rember the name of the album off hand but its got a white cover & i think it was the last one they did for Fantasy. Anyone know what the track that Lydsey Wesker & the Zoo boys used to trash off the '82 on Elektra was.

That little so & so had a collection to die for too, then sold the lot. Could've killed him!! Do you remember Richie Ryan?? He's still around and in some of the piccies on here. Seems that Hornchurch, and Sanders have made a fair old contribution to the scene. There are some others who still go to Caister etc from Sanders, but, they are 5 years or so below you, so you wouldn't know them. Anyway, good to know you're about. Catch ya soon.

Both Stevie & Marvin started life as drummers for Motown, in fact almost all of Stevie's first album was instrumental. If that is the correct answer, I don't want the CD, but here is another question.......start with Stevie, and get back to Stevie via, Aretha, Hil St Soul, Darwin Hobbs, Patti Labelle, Aretha again, Burt Bacharach, Dionne Warwick, Isaac Hayes, Jackson 5, Jermaine Jackson, Berry Gordy, Marvin Gaye, use the answer to the original question, and you are back to Stevie.....easy but a bit of fun.......good to have you along last night Niki, nothing like sharing a choon or 10 with yer mates, and people who appreciate them...........x

Cheers Gary, the only things for tonight I can think of are down the West-end. Point 101 always has something soulful - the night is called "Bite your Granny" & the point 101 web-site describes it as: Bite Your Granny features DJs Nik Weston and Alan Brown. Taking their name from the 'Morning, Noon And Night' soul/funk classic, Nik and Alan select anything from the 60s to the 90s with their feet firmly in the soul arena. Expect to hear: Linda Clifford, The Underwolves, 4 Hero. ; I you're into more of a US Garage and RnB thing there is Spin @ Propaganda, 201 Wardour St with Ronnie Herol and Micky Nicholas among others. Contact nos: Ronnie 020 7434 3639 / Michael 07956 414 090. Last Thursday I went to a bar called Fluid for a Jazz-Funk night which is at 40 Charterhouse St (near Smithfields Mkt) Not sure whats on tonghit maybe call them. Finally, The Pool Bar in Curtain Road, Shoreditch has DJs every night - its a great looking bar downstairs - Funky furniture, massive bean-bags etc. Again suggest you get their number from directory enquiries and see whats up. Hope this helps

Taking time out from catagorising my records by vinyl thickness (remember the 70's oil crisis? played havoc with my order, I can tell you), I've just been made aware that Expansion Records have just re-released Leon Ware's Musical Massage LP. Of course it's well documented in the sad, lonely world of the record collector that Mr Marvin Gaye nicked Leon's songs to make the I Want You LP and those nice chaps at Expansion have included unreleased tracks on the re-issue including the amazing 6 minute long original of Come Live Me Angel which is a duet with none other than Minnie Ripperton! And if that isn't enough to get you excited, you can always leg it to the bathroom with the cover. Fascinating.

Hi all, having just got back from holiday (literally---the jetlag hasn't even kicked in yet), I can see that all had a good time at Caister. Glad to hear it. I can also see there is a lot of debate on the music content. I would like to say that yes, there have been good and not so good Caister's. In some cases this has been down to the music. But, what is good and what is bad?? All of us have tunes we'd die for. In my early days of Caister, over 20 years ago, Young hearts run free was the business, still is in my view. Why?? It brings the whole Caister family together. it's what it's all about. The truth is we also had Kid Creole's "Annie, I'm not your daddy" as the tune of the weekend at an 80's Caister. Would we play that now?? I doubt it, not even Frostie, brave as he is would play that now. Who, like me, adores Gloria Gaynor's "This Love Affair"??? Would most of us have bothered to listen to it, had we known it was by her?? Probably not. OK, this track is relatively new to me, but I'm glad, it shows I am still learning about the music, even after 20 years. As I see it, Caister is a place to meet old friends, have a great party and listen to good music. the basic format has worked for the last twenty years, why not the next twenty?? Yes it has to evolve, through the DJ's and the music, not through radical change. At the end of the day, they are the people who should know what we want. That's why Gary Dennis is so good, he knows what music we are looking for and knows how to put a set together. OK, I'm not as knowledgable on the music as maybe I should be. But, that's why Caister is for me, perfect. A tune I haven't heard before comes along and it makes the weekend for me (Garfield Fleming, "Don't send me away" was one). But, I know that however good or bad the weekend has been, I'll be back. That's what makes Caister special. The combination of the music and US. Don't ever change it.

If you are aware of the picture concerned, you will know that it could be extremely damaging to both your careers.... I am open to bribes of rare vinyl to prevent this image from going global. Please start the bidding.

Ash, thanks so much for inviting us down to Soul Shack on Saturday for the occasion of Radio Horizon & Crackers jock George Power being rescued from (far too early) retirement. You promised us a special one, and it sure was. That's what I call an Old Skool sesh!!! Think it was David Benoit "Life is like a Samba" that first had us charging onto the dancefloor, and we were treated to a musical extravaganza which took us through jazz-funk to soul and back again. If I say Lonnie Liston Smith "Space Princess" and Chi-lites "Living in the Footsteps of Another Man" it might give you an idea of the quality and variety on offer. Throw in Kleer, Slick, Rahni Harris, Roy Ayres, Teena Marie, O'Jays and what was that L.A. Boppers track (it wasn't Watching Life or Give Me Some)? My favourite bit of the night though had to be three in a row from Stevie Wonder - Pastime Paradise, Boogie on Reggae Woman and Another Star. Class....... Get yer bums down to Soul Shack, every Saturday. See Event Calendar for details. Next week Shaft Reunion and Ash's Birthday Bash with special guest Steve Wren.

Many happy returns to Mark T and Dave Cee for Saturday. Two, all-round top geezers! Hope you both had good ones! Morning all, I trust the Soul Music and snake bites were flowing! Went to the Pool Bar in Curtain Road on Friday. Loads of funk - from James Brown to the usual minute-and-a-half long tunes with weird titles that no one knows. Good night though. Thought I'd let you know about news of yet another celebration at Chocolate Soul this Friday. Gavin Page is holding his "wetting the baby's head" party after the birth of his daughter Alice! I've told Ben (Catch's owner) to ensure that the bar is well stocked!

I've been on the soul scene for the past twenty years, but Sid's appearance was simply STORMING - probably the best live appearance I've ever witnessed. This musical genre is definitely on the way up !

Following last week's foray into downtown Newark where I caught the wonderful Dramatics still complete with the incomparable L.J Reynolds and Ron Banks (still can't stop playing "Hey You! Get Off My Mountain"), I am pleased to report more successful sightings this time of a Jeffrey Osborne, Ashford & Simpson and Roberta Flack nature. J.O still posses an awesome voice and his performances last night on "Holdin' On" and "Love Ballad were awesome. Roberta Flack, an excellent "Closer I Get To You" aside was technically brilliant but minus that spark for a truly memorable show but Ashford & Simpson were simply wonderful. Your scribe felt a little tingle up the spine for a great rendition of "It Seems To Hang On" (that goes into the fav 5's again) and "Is It Still Good To Ya" and the depth of their catalogue ensured they could have stayed on stage all night as they rolled off one hit after the other, either one that they recorded themselves or wrote for someone else. Marvellous voices, greeat stage presence and thoroughly entertaining and Valerie Simpson is surely right up there with the very best. I'm trying to catch just about every act that we can this summer as a return to the UK looks likely next year. In the meantime, if anyone is out this way for hols, please drop me a line and I'll be happy to let you know what is happening gig-wise. Peace and Love....

D'Arcy, I have no objections to the '5 tunes' thingy at all. Wear your anorak with pride! Anything that can put you in touch with your jazzy-side has got to be worth mention. If suggesting stuff on here can inspire us to bring some top tunes out of retirement that's great. Even B sides!!! I was just referring to the thing about sending in your requests for Caister playlists. We could request a thousand good tunes, but I doubt it would add any value to the weekend! I couldn't agree more about there being loads of underplayed tunes while the same old cheese gets done to death.... that's pretty much what I've been saying all along. Think I've only got that Terry Callier song on a boot-leg with Jimmy Mesina or something.....
D'Arcy, I have no objections to the '5 tunes' thingy at all. Wear your anorak with pride! Anything that can put you in touch with your jazzy-side has got to be worth mention.

Ello, Steve - & all, of course. Next weekend I shall be @ Catch on Friday, my mate Russell's 40th on Saturday (BBQ & choice choonz) & Big Stew's doo on Sunday. In between I shall be mostly watching drag racing with the kids at Santa Pod. It's probably better that I don't do Soul Heaven 'cos I might feature on the video recorded at Caister. Apparently, we were caught on camera for what must have been Brownie's superb Main Room set. ( Don't ask me which night) This weekend I will be oop North to see the family & gaze upon the splendour that will be the Lads parading the cups through my home town.

(where the bar is big enough), and wouldn't that just leave somewhere else to be empty till 11? if a DJ needs to know what to play by gauging the crowd, must be impossible for those on "earlies" Coming Soon "I Know Lukio" Annoraks (Joke)

Niki, must agree with you about playlisting,D.J's should be free to play want they want, that's were diversity comes from. As to the sugestions people were listing, (for want of a better world), they were only doing so, firstly as a bit of fun as stated on the post that started it, and secondly to prove that there are other older records, that were in thier time, big tracks, but unfortunatly aren't now played because the same old "Cheesy Tunes" are played to death. I don't think people were trying to be anaraks at all, merely having fun with long forgotten tunes. As to them being unheard of by most people, they were mostly all played on the scene in past times and received well by the crowd ( hate the term punters). Kaya is dead right when he says that a broad spectrum of genres was played alongside each other, if that was still the case these records would be more widely known and appreciated by soul fans today. Remember varietey is the spice of life. Anyway todays unheard of record is tommorows favorite tune, be that record old or new. Does it matter whether that record was played to you or suggested by a fellow fan on a forum like this. Maybe that Gene Chandler track would have crossed your path earlier if it had been suggested on a forum like this. P.S. Hope your still my friend :) P.P.S. Flip the 12" of Terry Callier's "I don't want to see my self" over, a pleasant suprise awaits, I assure you.

Well, it's been quite a few days on here hasn't it? For the most part constructive and proof, if need be, that once the soul scene gets into your blood, you are hooked for life! Thanks also to brian rix for contributing to the debate - the only thing I would add is there really are an awful lot of so-called anoraks at Caister who attend almost every event, have a wonderful time but I'm sure would welcome the introduction of another venue. The club room kinda fills that role at times, depending on who is deejaying, but I think a REAL SOUL room would be welcomed by many who regularly frequent these pages. I for one would love to see its introduction and who knows, even get to play a tune or too! Before I sign off i will say that as a (former) deejay of 20 years, the idea of being given a playlist from which to select tunes would have seen me (and did at times when I was told to play more commercial stuff by management!)heading for the door without a second thought. Bit like the chairman telling the manager which XI to choose for a football match on the saturday afternoon.The commercial radio approach I'm afraid simply doesn't work and kills any creativity and originality whatsoever. Finally, have a nice weekend all, look forward to seeing many of you at Chocolate Soul (first time for me) next week and hopefully some of you will drop by The George next Sunday when you will be given ample opportunity to pick holes in one of my sets!!!! also be grateful if someone can e-mail me Terry Jones phone number or TJ if you around, drop me a line. Off to see Jeffrey Osborne, Roberta Flack and Ashford and Simpson tonight. Have fun...Peace & Love

"Sweetbeats" was a good night. Quite a funky little bar with the DJs and dancefloor in the basement. As I walked in I did not know the first 3 tunes - That alone made it worthwhile! Some really wicked Jazz-Funk was being dropped, interspersed (spelling?) with Soulful Garage, Boogie & Salsoul classics. Tracks from Logg, Finis Henderson, Roy Ayers, James Ingram & MAW etc. The sign of a good night is when you get to the end and it seems like you've only just got there. Thanks for the recommendation Chrispy. The next one is 7th June.

May I say that some of the comments regarding Caister have been shall we say constructive, Playlists I feel would be the wrong road to travel down, however I feel that playlists should be made available to the events taking place outside the main hall. it also seems to me that there are many people who are given the chance to work at caister and feel it gives them a ticket to promote and entertain their own!!! caister was born again due to team work and lots of dedication, so much so that the Caister family was born and continues to grow from year to year, and it is so wrong when people bite the hand that feeds them!! input from the punters and friends of caister is very important its feedback that helps to create a better venue. many people who have spoken their views on this site in the last few days have come up with some great opinions, but its very sad that they have been promted into doing so. caister is the daddy of all soul weekenders and one thing we all have in common is SOUL, we are led by a very experienced team who between them have many years of promoting behind them and I might say are not afraid to say what they think, that has been proven, so lets carry on with this debate and make caister even bigger, the family must work together or it will break down, ps Niki give me a mail I need to talk to you regarding your server I have a few questions you may be able to answer for me regarding my own! 7 of 9 must be invited to the next gig as a VIP B R.

Chrispy, bet that was the only one he did miss, we normally have to carry a video recorder in with us so as the radio can be taped in 8 hour sessions! admittedly there does tend to be some "down time" between 6 am and midday when we are too mashed to remember to change the tape whilst getting our beauty sleep!

Sorry for the back to back hit.......but praise must be given where it is due. DJ Aikim @ Fluid (Charterhouse Street EC1)last night for educating me in jazz funk @ a night called Sweetbeats (free all night & cheap drinks) - billed as soul from the roots up - TRULY AMAZING. I hope to be djing there in July for my birfday session, also ta very much to Carl of SMC for showing some support, I know you enjoyed the beats dunno about the Gloria Estefan though!!!

Good point Monk, I thought Brownie played a blinding set down Queens last Friday. And his stint down the Belvedere in Ascot on a Sunday lunchtimes was legendary, well for me anyway. Can't believe we used to travel all that way from Essex on a Sunday for a 2 and a half hour Sunday lunchtime session. Pre M25 days as well. Happy days indeed.

Bod -------- obviously you did not catch my radio show @ Caister- I played Steve Arrington's Way Out, second tune in I believe. Ah well maybe next time! Ali - (et al) if you are in South London Saturday night, try Bar Cohiba at 58a Camberwell High Street SE5, it's the monthly Soul Network party, 9pm-3am, £5 admission, I'll be there from 10.30, funk, rare grooves, soul and disco...... recommended. It will be rammed by 11.30 so try and get there early.

Afternoon Maaaaaaaates!!!! Can I just say that when I made my comment yesterday ( about playlists ) I was not really suggesting that we have them, I was in fact trying (not very well) to support What Chrispy was saying in a humourous way! I.E. If A playlist really did exist, Which it Doesn't, then howcome Chris Brown carries (or perhaps that should be I carry on his behalf) so many records to each set with him! It may be worth noting that Chris was my Resident DJ for about 5 years, mainly because he along with many of the DJ's, has such a wide choice to play from, However having taken and passed on several requests whilst he was playing at the last Caister, he was maily asked to play "cheesy classics" so what several of you have said is true, If you really want to hear a track contact the DJ concerned, and as Chrispy said If he's got it then he (and most of the other guys) will play it!

Afternoon all!! What a response!! Brian, i did try to ring you this week to discuss the issues with the intention of feedback to this site. As you were busy i decided to whack the nest with a four by two. You have answered my questions to a point. As for the free pass. This was given to me because i put out flyers in Norwich & G.Y. for Seduction over a 3 week period. The caravan i was in was holding a party at the time. As for comparing Caister with Essence, i agree, for me to have SAID that, i would need to be on drugs, i was talking about the music. If Caister isn't an educational experiance what is it, i knew a few of the virgins and they heard toons old and new they'd never heard before. Dj's being told what to play, thankyou i only wanted an answer, along with a few other people! I am a punter, always have been, always will be, who happens to collect records. I dabble in djing, that's why when you asked me last year if i would like to do the main room, i said no, because there are hundreds of dj's who can do it better. Djing in the radio room for a record collecter is the ultimate!!! By the way, for the record, "Circles" was played at Essence!! Brian, don't take anything personally, maybe when i come to Soul Heaven in June we could discuss this further over a pint, 'Cos some of the points you made were very educational!!! As for the playlists, why don't you put a flyer in your mailing list when you send out booking forms and ask ALL the punters their musical preferences, sometimes the minority can be quite big!! Oh well back to work.

I think everyone's comments are truly valid and clearly heartfelt, which is how it should be, but I have to ask WHAT'S EVERYONE DOING AT THE WEEKEND???!!! You noticed that the regular 'soulboys' seem to be keeping their distance with comments and good old cheesy Hellos?!! Where IS everybody?!! Hope you all have a good one. ta-da. xx.

Brad (?), I think you are missing the point slightly. I think we are all agreed that Ian & Rob are excellent DJs, you don't need to preach to the converted. See my comment about a 3 hour Jazz Dance sesh below. We are just using them as an example of how the music style can change radically from set to set. Remember some of us are really old, and our tickers can't stand the shock!!

A message for Andy in NJ to whom I agree with a lot of your comments ----but , as you do I have and I know many concerning Clubbers and Caister Goers have the ultimate RESPECT for Ian & Rob and what the stand for and do. These are today's Club DJs that are exciting varied crowds wherever they play (London and Brighton mainly) and are respected by even the most educated Muso's and Premier DJs alike. I can't believe for a minute the comments concerning them following a Gary Dennis Soul set for the following reasons: 1. The Club Room at Caister is about breaking new ground and being different music from the Main Room. If it empties slightly when DJs crossover then it is natural . With Ian & Rob you can more or less guarentee that new tracks are being laid down or a DJ such has Chris Hill is going on in the Main Room - so it will reduce in numbers. 2. Ian & Rob follow and go with Gary Dennis like Strawberries go with Cream . I'm sure that Gary has a lot of time for them because he educates then musically and they always seem to be very close indeed. He is teaching them what he knows about Soul, Jazz, Funk if ya like and I bet he is 100% behind what they do. Just listen to Gary on the mic when they go off or on after eachother , quote " Prepare to be educated with Real Music was a quote from last time". 3. I have never seen any roadies / groupies with them at Caister . They come across as the type of guys that carry their own records because they don't need people that way . 4. As for the 7s - Well these guys will know & respect how rare Gary's records are. Gary probably had a few too many beers and jogged the decks or something( everyone at Caister is the same as well as the jocks - all the great DJs make mistakes and they are only human). 5. You make it sound as if Ian & Rob can only play Jazz - listen to them , they play right across a certain spectrum - it is quality all the way down . Things in the Club Room are great as they are . Brownie, Webbo, Gary, Frenchie, Tom and Ian and Rob compliment eachother whenever they play - I tip Ian & Rob very highly . Have patience with their tunz and remember where you heard some of them 1st, they are playing the hardest material (with regards to floorfilling) at Caister .If they started playing Soul/RnB then it would be our loss - you would see a rammed room and still moan, because how many times do you hear the same tunes in both rooms when other DJs play - the answer is a lot because it is the easy way out and looks impressive at the time but not with regards to breaking tunz. Please be diplomatic with your comments in this open forum or my concern is that Southport will benefit from our comments about these two - we are a family and want it to stay that way. PEACE & LOVE.

Phew - I've got sore eyes reading all this. Niki, I must say I agree with you re playlists. Many djs change their mind about what they're going to play during their set based on dancefloor reaction, requests or just impulse. Just on point re Brian's message earlier this morning. If 40% are "virgins", why are the 40% not coming back? I think you should concentrate on retaining them rather than trying to please the newcomers and then you'll have a better chance of pleasing the vast majority. Not that I don't think we should encourage newcomers but we really needn't try so hard. It's a great scene - they'll love it anyway and don't have to get used to the cheesy stuff first.

Besides, there's a very fine line between 'great' soul and out-and-out cheese. Gene Chandler for example. Hands up all those who only discovered "Let Me Make Love To You" was on the b-side of "Does She Have A Friend" after it was put out on the Togetherness comp!!!! Price of 12" goes up from 50p to £12. Great tune, but a whisker away from cheddar wouldn't you say? What do you say Kaya "I used to play that side when it came out....." and Brownie "I remember that song when it came out in 1923, and blow me if later they only went and re-released it on the b-side of Does She Have A Friend" ?!??

Great tune, but a whisker away from cheddar wouldn't you say? What do you say Kaya "I used to play that side when it came out....." and Brownie "I remember that song when it came out in 1923, and blow me if later they only went and re-released it on the b-side of Does She Have A Friend" ?!??

For what it's worth, I think playlisting is a terrible idea. Everyone here is proving that they can be an anorak and come up with 5 tunes they would like to hear played, but most people have never even heard of them. Requesting individual tunes defeats the object - apart from the odd 'special requst' I think DJs should be free to play what they want and it's up to them to gauge how the audience reacts and what it wants to hear. Fair play to Chrispy for making a real effort to gain feedback about Soul Heaven and try to move the gig onwards and upwards. That's how it should be. I actually think the quality and variety of the music at Caister has improved over the last year. I'd like to think that a small part of that's due to this site and the sort of feedback the jocks are getting. NOT criticisms of what they're playing, but generally knowing that people like us are listening and appreciating their choice of music. Apart from the 'continuity' in the club room thing I mentioned previously, I had no issues with the music at Caister. We got to indulge ourselves at the Sunday afternoon session and it was a step in the right direction towards our dream of hearing 'Connoisseurs' Soul at the Caister Soul Weekend. For me anyway, it's not about change it's about enhancement. This is what I'd like to see (my own personal opinion, please feel free to disagree and discuss): Main Room: no change whatsoever - its glorious cheesy self. I hope it never changes. Club Room: introduction of 3 hour specialist 'sessions' e.g. Jazz Dance sesh, Soulful Garage sesh, Funk sesh.... Introduction of an Anoraks Room - please, please, please - just a little corner of the Vauxhall camp for us old funkers to listen to dusty grooves!!!

Morning maates. Can you all slow down a bit? There were 6 new entries by the time I finished reading Brians response. Good points made by everyone, and it's especially good the organisers join in and listen to people. That's very rare nowadays. Brian, how about a "top 5" rqueusts page on weekenders.co.uk? Anyway, regarding popularity, I heard there were over 3,200 peeps at last Caister, with 400 of em staying outside Vauxhalls. That's impressive! I'd suggest just one thing to improve the weekends. Emply some "Sleep Police". They'd knock everyone up and get-em outta the caravan if they've been asleep for more than 2 hours! :)

Hello one and all. I have read all the comments below and it's good to see that my post about not being told what to play @ Caister was confirmed by Brian. A couple of things I would like to add, please take Brian up on his invitation on playlists etc, the way I see it, if it adds to making the experience and atmosphere of the weekender even better (is that possible!!!??) then go for it. I am not blessed with every soul/funk/jazz-funk/rnb ever record made but if enough of you guys want to hear certain tunes and I have them (and they are not scratched) then I have no problem in playing them. Secondly, I try and make Soul Heaven musically better every month by asking your opinions about what is played and what you would like to hear, so please support it as best you can and let me know what you think of the night,the muisc and the atmosphere.........and buy me a drink!

Kaya, Please do, it's great to hear these tracks coming up, I've just realised how much I've lost touch with my Jazz side. Grant Green / Sookie Sookie ; Billy Cobam / The Pleasant Pheasant ; Sonny Stitt / Slick Eddie ; / Blue Steel / Rinder & Lewis ; Sade / Wired. P.S. Do you think that maybe there's room for more jazz to be played alongside soul at venues today, as it was in the past? I'm not refering to any particular event or weekender, just a generalisation!

Morning ALL.. Just my pennys worth on the debating thats been going on. I am evidence of Brians comment about letting new DJ's have their turn @ Caister. I was given the chance, without question, to play 'several' hours at the last weekender. That, for me, is an ambition and a pleasure. I was also fortunate to meet up with Caravan 28 crew - TOP company - TOP time. All these elements made up a memorable weekend for me. One I will NEVER forget. Most of the points raised over the last few days have been relative, but must be used constructively. I believe Ian M's comment about being in a caravan at 11'oclcok was not a slur at the venues but more of a compliment to the company provided by the soul scene. Whether its Hilly playing 'Shackles' in the main room, Frostie playing 'Heaven in the afternoon' in the small room - we all have the choice. Without each other we would be nothing !! PEACE

Morning all, firstly may I say my initial entry was in no way a slight against caister, if anything it was against the "holier than thou" attitute which seems to raise it's ugly head upon this site quite often. I can remember starting a similar debate about a year ago. Secondly the reason for being "anonamous" was that as previously mentioned even if I were to "come out" many, if not most would not know me, I am just one of the "faceless" majority, hence the Lurker tag. If you think it would help I will happly announce who I am! I have posted entries on this site before under my real name, and like many others have found myself being "talked around" and then ignored, again please see my original entry. Kaya & Niki please don't take this as a dig about the site, I think it is great, just some of the entries can be a bit patronising, but hey you have no control over that I know. Like your self I have been a regular at Caister on and off for 20 so years, and obviously still enjoy it otherwise wouldn't keep going, and think it is great that Brian took the time to answer issues that had been initiated from my original message, once it had been misconstrude. One thing you can maybe all answer for me is why the main venue never gets busy until 11 o'clock on the second night? I can remember being turned away at 9 o'clock in the old days as the venue was full of "day passes" (thank god they don't happen anymore), perhaps that is when we miss all the tunes we keep harping on about?

Brian, thanks for taking the time to address some of the comments made. I hope it will give all of us some food for thought and fuel the debate some more. I think that most of us are simply saying that we love everything about Caister, and we're passionate about the music. I think it's great that Soul music can invoke such an emotive response from so many people, and should give us hope that the 'Scene' will go from strength to strength.

What a passionate statement from Brian - and that is what our music is about passion. You may recall that that other famous Brian (of Nazareth) said 'You are all different, you are all individuals'. We all have our own favourites and unfortunately we can't hear them at every doo. Every tune has its merits and if it gets people interested in more obscure stuff then its done its job.

Thank you for your comments, Brian, this is what a soul forum should be about - inviting differing opinions into a debate which cannot (truthfully) be resolved. Music is a very personal thing, the only common denominator that we have is that 95% of the stuff we 'choose' to listen to is MOBO. There is one point, however, that I'd like to clarify, if I may. You said that Caister was and always has been a party - agreed! You also said that it's a case of supply and demand - not necessarily so. At Caister, like at the Lacy Lady, Soul Heaven etc, the people are good-time, party animals (this is not a bad thing!). They would dance to whatever was played AND enjoy it. The DJ/Promoter has no way of telling what is good or bad just by watching the crowd. You can't judge demand by how many people cheer at the intro of Joy & Pain, they're cheering because they recognise it, simple as that. I would disagree with anyone who said that the format of Caister needs changing, (If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it) but I would say that there is a definite need to make additions to what is already a winning formula. It is definitely the 'newer' fellas who keep the weekender alive, (there's more of them!) but the newer fellas would join in with whatever was played, it's only us oldies who make a fuss! This debate is just that - healthy discussion/discourse on a subject about which we all feel passionate. Caister has been a way of life for me for about 20 years and as much as I like to gripe, I love the weekend and will continue to attend until I'm as old as Hilly. As for music, D'arcy has already mentioned Francine McGee "Delerium", how about Paulinho DaCosta "I'm Going To Rio", Pacific Jam "Pao De Acucar", Beverly Skeet "If THe Feeling Is Right", Janet Lawson "Sunday Afternoon", John Klemmer "Brasilia"...is that 5 yet...

HQ (Brian) at 5:6:27 Friday May 18 2001
I hope you all appreciate that someone has had to wake me up to join in the debate that has occurred below, I feel that Lucy in our office has already answered some of the points but as I am not known for shying away from anything I will now comment on some of the more "topical" issues that people have raised. Firstly I agree very much with Niki below that anyone without the guts to leave their true name and e-mail when posting a comment don’t deserve to have them on this site. They are simply wankers that have no regard for the music or the scene. In answer to the point about removal from the Caister Guestbook from the “Anon” we have never allowed advertising on the Caister Guestbook because if we did it would become swamped with plugs for gigs. Alisons message contained a URL imbedded in her message which was automatically removed and then replaced, in full, without the URL. There have been hundreds of references to Soulboys, and many people leave the Soulboys site as their website in the space provided for this, which is where URLs go. I can only therefore assume that Anon is a mispelling for Moron as they obviously did not even bother to check out their facts before posting their comment. We welcome all criticism at Caister HQ, whether it is about ourselves or the DJs, but at least make it constructive, not simply destructive. It is easy to tell people what you don’t like, much better to say what you would prefer instead, or how you feel improvements could be made. I point to the above case as a prime example. I can think of no other promoter who has been involved in this scene as long as I have been, so I hope that you will accept my comments as at the very least "informed". Chris Hill, Froggy and I were working together 30 years ago, Browny and Frenchie joined us at the Woodvilles, Gravesend, as did a 16 year old Pete Tong (then known as Kickstart Roadshow) in the mid seventies; Mark Webster and I ran events when Mark had just left school, in fact he came out to work straight after his wedding to help run a gig and I didn’t get him home til dawn on his wedding night (probably why all these years later his wife Debs still sticks pins in an effigy of me) So I have seen many changes, and many other promoters and events, come and go. Neither Chris Hill nor I are involved with Caister purely for the money, as has been suggested. In fact the first few since the rebirth were financial disasters. I came back from living in the US, where I was undergoing treatment for spinal cancer, to join Chris and Robbie in resurrecting what had once been an institution, but had simply faded into obscurity and disappeared. I would rather have stayed round my pool, as I had already been forced by cancer into semi-retirement, but I had been at the first and many of the original Caisters, so Chris turned the chance to resurrect Caister into a challenge that we eventually took up. It is probably no secret as well that both of our wives have very serious illnesses and if it was not for the love of the event and the music, we would have retired Caister, and ourselves, some time ago. When we brought Caister back from the dead our main intention was never to make it a trainspotters event, nor to make the bottom line the only factor. If it was we would have moved to a bigger site years ago. In response to "Rayleigh Boy" below, who said that he had a "conversation" with a nameless DJ. Total Bollocks! Rayleigh Boy was either on drugs and talking to a tree, or whoever said they were a DJ was actually a shapeshifter from the gamma quadrant. No DJ to my knowledge has ever been told what records to play in the venues or on radio at Caister, nor has there ever been a playlist. Certain records have been accepted as being finale tracks and there has been an overall policy on what gets played in the club room, etc. But other than this overall general policy, there has never been any kind of record selection. Some DJs have suggested to us that they would like to do certain sets, as did Mark Webster and Scott James at the recent Caister, and we have always supported this. We like Monks idea of a selection of more varied oldies on a playlist and we will introduce this if Monk is willing to help organise it. So please send us lists of what you would like included. Also importantly many people don’t always get to hear everything that does get played as you can never be everywhere at once. We are lucky as we get to watch the ceiling cam footage and listen to the set DATs afterwards and I can tell you that many of the tracks people have listed below did get played, just not when everyone was in the Main Room. Chris Hill for example played Celi Bee. I think it was Gary Dennis that played Mass Production and I could probably find quite a few more. It is important to remember that almost 40% of the people at this Caister were virgins(and a similar percentage at every Caister) and therefore certain tracks will always APPEAR to be more prominently positioned in a night than others. Like many of the contributors below, I would love to hear tracks like Porcupine, Far Out, Cathedrals, Snowblower, Westchester Lady, etc, etc, receive more airtime, after all I am from that era, but..... This brings me on to the debate regarding Circles. If certain DJs play Circles at every Caister, then take it up with them! Don’t harp on about it behind Anon names like a bunch of five-year-olds and imply that it is the fault of the promoters. Send us your criticisms to Caister HQ and we will forward them directly to the DJs concerned...either put up or shut up. The DJs play the records and Hilly does the set times so address your criticisms to the people concerned. We will make sure they get them. Now I come on to Ian Mortimers comments, a man who gets a free place and did not stay on site as he lives locally. He can’t remember sitting in a caravan? Well does that surprise me! He didn’t have a caravan. He harps on about a specialist weekend that at best attracts a handful of anoraks and tries to compare it with Caister. Someone else on drugs! Caister hasn’t "become" a party weekend Ian, where have you been for twenty years, it was ALWAYS a party weekend. As promoters and DJs we reflect demand, we don’t create it. Every theme night that has taken place was suggested by punters themselves. And why suggest that Caister should be an educational experience, do you want it to attract the same sort of numbers as a pub gig in Port Talbot? There have always been big tunes from each Caister, many become classics, remember the Lighthouse Family? Not always new ones get remembered but there is certainly enough new stuff played and broken at each event given the fact that apart from garage, there is nowhere near the amount of new releases that there were a few years ago. Strangely enough it was Tower Of Power that probably ended up as the punters choice from the last event. Although I thought the Eric Benet remix deserved it personally (which shows that it is ALWAYS a personal choice and if you put thirty soul fans in a room you will getseventy two opinions!) Finally Ian I reckon the Essence you are on about was up your nose if you thought that in your "old days" resident club DJs were brought in from all over the country to play at weekenders. I can tell you that in those old days it was the same few DJs, no new talent ever hardly got the chance (unlike your sets at Caister) and you could cut the atmosphere with a knife! Nowadays more that forty DJs appear at different times and places at Caister and hopefully there is a much nicer team atmosphere and drunken togetherness than there ever was before. We also try out new ideas, they may not always be successful, but we have had Funfairs, Bungy Jumps, BBQs, Sports Days, etc. At least we try out ideas and we are willing to take chances despite the type of factional critiscism we receive. We will continue to seek out strange new DJs, explore uncharted territory and new civilisations, it just doesn’t occur after midnight in the Main Arena (unless we get another power cut). In response to Richard from Great Yarmouth, why would I want to read comments about the Nothern Soul Scene from a twenty year old edition of Blues and Soul, why would anyone come to that? Scouserpaul sums it up perfectly with his comment “I for one would never sneer at a 'beginner'(we all were once) just because he or she may be into a tune some of us regard as obvious - I'm just happy that new punters are coming along to replace those who must, inevitably, 'retire', again keeping the vibe alive. I have found the people in the scene amongst the most welcoming, open - minded, laid back & generous folk you could wish to meet” People come to Caister for many different reasons, the music is the important one, but not the only one. The main lesson we have learnt is that most events die because of an "Us and Them" attitude, especially where music is concerned. DJ`s, Rooms, Ideals, at Caister should not be in conflict, once people start to encourage an "attitude" and start “factions” then we respectfully suggest that they are not truly our sort of people, and probably never were. Caister is about escaping twice a year to a world and lifestyle that we would like to have all year round. We simply try to do our best and hope that the majority enjoy it. It might not be perfect, but it is as close as you could hope for. Brian (not an anon) Caister HQ

mystic mog - i think caister HQ would much rather know what people are thinking and saying in preference to scratching their heads wondering why the vibe ain't the same or the punters aren't the same etc. so long as everyone treats each other opinions with respect, and i'm pleased that they do - then i don't think anyone has a problem. Niki - think you are right about the anons. we probably are too serious about this, but despite being old enough to know better, it is our life and we love it!!!

Micheal Mc D Mr Gravesend was a true inspration (I sorted his records in my Paddington Days & him & his riddim pal were the only too the "london boys" had any geniune respect for) Ok he ain't playing "black" related records now but why does deny your past & feel guilty about it too). Lets be honest there are certain elements that people will never acknondlege.

As another comment on what has been said below, this time by Ian Monk, we will introduce playlists at caister for the next event. All DJs will be invited to submit a selection for inclusion which will hopefully prevent some repetiton as well as providing a more varied selection of oldies. All of the DJs will be advised that this is Ian Monks suggestion and idea so that he can explain the virtues to any that perhaps fail to see the benefits. I am sure Ian will not mind taking the credit for this and responsibility for it`s introduction. Finally everyone below should e-mail us at Caister HQ over the coming weeks with a list of tracks that they would like to have included. Those with the most "requests" will definately get listed and hopefully most of the others will be included, even if not in peak main room times.

i have alot of respect for ian & rob too, on occasions though they are just on at the wrong time. i recall a caister or two back when they were given the task of following gary dennis in a heaving club room. gary had been wowing the assembled throng with a modern soul & garage set. ian & rob's assoerted hangers on and box carriers clumsily arrived and accidentally almost succeeded in putting irrepairable dinks in some of gary's hallowed 45's, and taking a shine off a vibe created by tunes like teddy's "close the door". they then managed to clear the place in world record time with their uncompromising selections - now i am not blaming them as such, just a little careful programing by the powers that be wouldn't go amiss sometimes. but you are right, they have some wicked, wicked jazz in those boxes and with the righ crowd and setting, i think they are great - especially those afternoon jazz sets - an old casier tradition that goes back to messrs.clark, tong, jones etc at the early caisters. speaking of jazz, why did al jarreau's "tomorrow today" track from his CD last year not become the monster that it truly deserved..."mama loves a mambo, mama papa sway.." CHOOOON!!!! those who can, look it up on napster - if you loved stuff like "easy" and mcfreein's "dance with me" and all things latin, you'll love this.

Paul, you're right about Ian & Rob. It's a pleasure to watch them as well as listen because they clearly enjoy playing.

Hey gang, reading through the comments I would just like to agree with the guy who bigs up IAN & ROBS Jazz Set on the Sunday afternoon at the best Caister for a few- they absolutely showed their class . I have witnessed them playing at the Jazz Cafe , Point 101,Phoenix, Blue Note and Jazz Rooms in Brighton and must say that their style and knowledge is of the highest pedigree. I know they have DJed for many artists at the Phoenix Festivals and Jazz Cafe,and also alongside some of the best jocks on the circuit ie Russ Dewbury , Snowboy , Kevin Beadle , Gilles P, Phil Levene and on and on. I loved this Caister and I don't want to sound like the biggest fan , but their sets on radio and whenever i caught them in the Club Room were all different/of the highest order - they dropped rare latin , tough funk next to new releases -we are very lucky to have them in the family and next time at Caister boys I will buy you both a beer ---RESPECT and keep up the good work , you are the difference between the Clubroom and the Main Room .ps I love all the other jocks too.

Exellent suggestions coming in, some long forgotten others new to my ears. Interesting how this forum is making these suggestions, yet we never hear them played at venues. Give the people what they want I say. P.S. If an old record hasn't been heard by an old set of ears, it probably won't have been heard by a young set of ears will it ? Thus fresh tunes for young and old alike. Throw in some good new records and everyones a winner. Promoters listening ?

Perhaps I should get a T shirt done for the next LL, QoS, Or caister? Top 5 seldom heard and sourly missed, there's so many, how about these from the 80's to be getting on with, in no particular order. DAVID JOESPH "You Can't Hide Your Love" GILBERTO GIL "Palco" MORRISEY MULLEN "Slipstream" SIVUCA "Ain't No Sunshine" SKIPWORTH & TURNER "Thinking About Your Love". Or are they plated and I'm to mashed to remember?

William de vaughn "I've never found a girl (to love me like you do)". Buddy Miles "I'm just a kiss away". Miami "Kill that roach". Marlena Shaw "Pictures & memories". Tommy Tate "What gives you the right". By no means my faves, to many to choose from. Just haven't heard them for a long time.

Those of you who like family favorites, funk, modern, northern, garage, gospel and disco as the accompanying soundtrack for the imbimbing of copeus amounts of beer will, i am sure, have sunday may 27 at THE GEORGE inked into your diaries. Back in UK on biz at end of next week so will also make Chocolate Soul too. This weekend in NY, me and the missus will take in Ashford & Simpson (really looking forward to hearing some of their huge reportoire though doubt we'll get "Top Of The Stairs" somehow), Roberta Flack (not altogether fussed) and Jeffrey Osborne (still a great voice). Summer vacationers to NY this summer will have a choice of great gigs to take in - Dells, Phil Perry, Patti Austin, Gerald Alston, Maze and Regina Belle all on in next month. Happy to provide info if anyone needs it, just e-mail me. Peace, Love, etc.etc.

Just a bit of fun to lighten things up, anyone care to list five records of times gone past, that they would like to hear at venues again. Anthing from 1970 to say 1995. It would be interesting to be reminded of records that you once danced to but have maybe now forgotten or indeed have never even heard of. Here's 5 from me to get the ball rolling; Touchdown/Ease your mind ; RoseRoyce/ Still In Love ; Temptations / Aiming at your heart ; Ray Barretto / The Old Castle ; and Delerium / Francine M'Gee

Allo maates! Interesting discussion. I for one always enjoy caister, as much as i love the music, it wouldn't be the same without all you great people. There's nothing better than walking into the main room and meeting so many maates again. Where else can you go and meet so many friendly people, all there for the same reason, no trouble, no bad attitudes! I can rely on when i go to the Lacy, Queens etc, (should go to more different places I know!) I know i'm going to have a good, trouble free night, and hear some great music along the way! Agreed, the music may need freshening up a little but it would be a shame to lose that atmosphere!

Gary M, I've spoken to Frostie today. He finished his course of medication, but started having problems with his arm so is back on a new course - which is making him feel a bit crappy. He's definitely not doing Bar Bed tonight, but thinks Richie C or Shep may be doing it in his stead.

No raging arguments, how about a line from a Blaze song? "Everybody's doing their own thing, your thing may not be my thing. The world needs versatility, that's why we must show individuality..." or even Sine (produced by Patrick adams, you know) "Just let me do my thing, you don't have to like it, it's my thing..."

The soul scene we have now is better than any of its predecessors. the DJ's are not quite as aloof as they once were, the punters are (generally) more knowledgeable, the venues are more grown up (unfortunately so are the beer prices!!) and I LOVE SOUL MUSIC and Jazz and Funk and Disco and Garage (But when I was a kid we used to call it ALL soul music - reggae/funk/jazz/soul/disco - no boundaries, a nice crossover, an eclectic mix, variation, originality). Renaissance is a nice word isn't it? A lonnie Liston Smith album, I believe...

Dear Steve.W., I think everybody on this site loves the music, I don't think theres an issue there at all. your comment about the need for "new blood" is very interesting. Ever since I've been on the "SCENE" (whatever that actually means!!) since 1978 there has always been a call for new blood. But what do you actuall mean by that? Ita all very well saying to a jock to play "new stuff" and to be more adventurious and play more varied tunes. But when they do they generally get critiscised left right and centre by the majority of the punters. a great example of this happened down the Queens a few months ago when Mark Webster (in my opion a vastly underated jock) played a blinding "varied" set. A certain contributor to this site actually told me that they thought Webbo's set was sh*t "because he didn't play the same tunes as the majority of the other jock who play here". Now unfortunately this is the type of reaction thats been happening in the last 20 odd years, and it will probably happen in the next 20 as well. My point here is that we generally know what to expect from any of the jock that are playing at the moment. From TJ through to Hilly. I know that if I go to catch and see TJ and the Sourmash Boys its going to be different from when I go to the Lacy and see Hilly. My personnal choice would be to go to Shoreditch, but hey thats my personnal choice. If we are still around in the next 20 years, and knowing us lot we probably will, I think the same argument/debate will be raging on. And Steve.W., there is alot of choice and new blood out there, you've got to go and find it though mate.

Steve W, that's the point I was making mate, the soul scene is now very vibrant and alive. We are now enjoying a renaissance in the scene, but some of us can't see the wood for the trees ( no offence to anyone inparticular). We will all probably look back at this time with fond memories and wish that we had indulged ourselves even more than we did.Lets hope that this summer is long and hot and filled with many doo's, Infact a celebration of SOUL. Enjoy!

Steve, Valid comments about moving on. See earlier post about souls renaissance (@11.47). Todays new un-accepted tune is tomorows hard to find, must have tune.We've seen that on the Modern scene time and time again. The Constellations "I don't know about you" couln't be given away in soul packs at one time, strange but true, ask John Anderson @ Soul Bowl. The ideal mix must surely be the best of the new and some of the less played older tunes, (much as most of us play at home), thus still keeping the scene fresh and catering for Young and Old, New and Seasoned campaigners alike. I think that the soul scene has a great future, but needs unity not different factions, after all we are all still in THE FAMILY. P.S."We're on the right track" by Blue Magic taken from the 1975 album 13 Blue Magic Lane on ATCO. Same album features Margie Joseph on "What's come over me". Off out in the rain now better put my annorak on eh! Thinking about it Blue Magic did a version of "In The Rain" didn't they ?

To Scouserpaul - ta very much, I'll be seeing TJ next week and having a chat. Carl D, (a kilt, blimey!) my old mate John Oudot is playing @ Fluid, he is also club manager at WKD in Camden, a great venue for small bands playing live gigs and great soul/funk/jazz-funk club nights, I've played there many a time. With him is a guy who John tells me has an incredible jazz funk collection and will be playing exactly that tonight. As I'm always trying to support mates, and learn more about the music, I'll be there around 11 for a couple of hours. If you come down I 'll introduce you to John, a useful contact to have. To the Dentist I think you will find that some of the tracks you mention in your previous posting will be played by me @ Soul Heaven next week. Re Caiter Although I am still relatively speaking the new kid on the block, I have never had Brian Rix tell me what to play @ Caister, I took a conscious decision to shy away from the anthems/classics and decided to play rnb (May) garage (September)and mix that with the tunes we sometimes forget and want to hear again - by the way top tunes for my weekend were Kenny Latimore (rnb) and Barbar Acklin (soul). As far as I know the people who come to the weekender don't bend my ear for not playing the classics and actually look forward to the stuff I play..........or are they lying??????

Nikki you right about pacing the night, in the "good ole days" you knew that if you went to the mine and arrived between 8.30 & 10.30ish then you hear" boy wonder" play new "new" records along with a few tried & trusted which were basically midtempo until 9.45 when the pace would be stepped up. Nowadays its lets bang out the biggies and give whoevers next to room to manoveur.

Afternoon maates! Cripes - it's got hot in here over the last couple of days innit?! I can't resist just one little comment (and I've told Mr Rix to take a dekko at your comments - what a snitch I am!) - My philosophy is - most punters will dance to anything most of the time - so there's no excuse to play poor music. I really rated Caister this time, but quite honestly the biggest reason I continue to go is because THE PEOPLE ARE SO NICE!!! I've never had a bad Caister (or other weekender come to that) and the common denominator is NICE PEOPLE who respect one another's views and opinions and whose company we all enjoy - warts and all. That's what being an adult is all about! Every time, I come away with more new really lovely friends, and even greater memories - and if that's what it's all about - Suits me Sir! LyndaNick&Chop - water emergency over - am home again this weekend, so will pop up for a gossip. Hi Niki, Kaya, CD, Legs, Gary M, Monk and everyone else. Ian in GY - no I'm not that Ali! I'm the Ali that rode in the boot on the way home from Big Stew's Do a couple of months ago! Sucker!!! ta-da for now. xx.

Caister has become a party weekend, as promoted. The party atmosphere comes 1st & the music 2nd. In the past you were educated concerning old & new toons. Nowadays dj's are told to a certain extent what to play, so if the majority of punters are happy with what is being played this will continue. At the last Essence a NEW toon was THE toon of the weekend, the toon being Romina Jhonsons "Never Do". If you ask people who have never been to Essence what the music polcy is, they will say, Northern and old stuff. The point is that in the old days resident club dj's were brought together from all over the UK to play at weekenders. They had their fingers on the button and knew what the punters wanted. I don't think this happens anymore at Caister because of the need for a party atmosphere. The last Caister was superb, but i can't remember sitting in a caravan (albeit having a great time) and not being in one of the venues at 1am. Gone is the time when you looked at the programme on Friday and mapped out the weekend because of the music, i didn't realise this 'till last night and felt something was missing, that something being THE MUSIC!!! Bit like "Distant Lover"!!!! So "Lets get it on" & Let the promoters know!!!

Kaya, You certainly can borrow anything I've got. I'll search in the loft for them and give them to you at Catch on Friday or Maulden on Sunday. I've just realised what that rare Japanese avant garde jazz pressing found in a dusty warehouse in Texas that Steve W was on about, wasn't it " Get out of my way ugly women" can't remember who it was by though. It got played alot at the Mambo Madness doo's though.

I did have a conversation with one of the jocks at Caister, I wont name names to protect him from a certain promoter, and he told me that Mr Rix does dictate what is played at Caister (has he got a playlist!!!??)and will not allow the jocks to deviate too far away from it.

Gary M, I'm not knocking Ian & Rob's sets, which are great, but I thought they broke up the 'continuity' of the Club Room. The music styles changed so drastically from set to set that the room would be full one minute and empty the next. I'd like to see more complimentary DJ rostas, so that the night doesn't seem to stop and start.

Chrispy, who Djs at Fluid and what time are you going down there? Re: Colors - you can always check with TJ next Friday. I know that Colors has a second, smaller room but I'm not sure what the score is. You know from the March Choc Soul that it'll be a top night whatever happens. You should be scared though as wearing a kilt will give Doris easy access to your bum!! Some interesting comments and points of view on here today. Long may it continue!

Steve W, who's 'a certain Gravesend DJ'?? Individuals are never bigger than the music. Paul made a good point about jocks, promoters & punters being dependant on each other. I think the mistake some people make/have made is to get involved in the politics and competition wars instead of concentrating on uniting a small and sadly fragmented scene. The jocks and promoters sorely underestimate punter power. The customer is king. It isn't that hard to provide something for everyone!

Kaya don't get me wrong I loved "Inner Circles" & I loved alot of those "fusion flavours" but apart from a few gems that sort stuff stopped being revelant. Blakey & Miles are way outta of the league they are/were Gods. I agree it would be good to hear a few "real" jazz records slipped into sets whatever their genre (there's only so many times you can play Salsulito)

Dear Dentist. I think you'll find that a certain Gravesend Dj was the mainstay behind the L.A.D.S. There were some great records being played down the mine at the time along with some "hippie shit" from the likes of Parfic Eardrum. Its true there was some really dire commerical stuff around at the time but rememvber the likes of Melba Moore/Howard Johnson/Jeffrey osbourne/Aretha might well be deemed as commerical but who cares if they are good. I'd rather hear them than some rare japenes avant gade jazz pressing that somebloke found in a dusty warehouse in the middle of texas and when is all said & done a very smelly piece of poo.

The only 'timeless' thing about the Soul scene is the music itself. Soul is the only deity to be worshipped. The biggest downfall is when people lose sight of that!

Kaya, Certainly do remember the LADS, started at tht "Mine" by Chris.If I remember rightly this was started as a backlash against more and more commercial disco music, being played at Jazz/Funk/Soul venues. Chris started playing more obscure jazz tracks, not normally associated with the scene at that time. Stan Getz from the Forrest Eyes period being a particular vien and also Art Blakey. Personally I think that this was a great time at the "Mine" with the dance floor full of some exellent floor technicians. My memories somewhat blured, but I seem to recall that a second Swing revival also took place around the same time. Although not as big as the one from circa 76'. Speaking of Chris Hill, way back in the early 80's, Blues & Soul, run an editorial on Chris entitled "Chris Hill Thespian of Soul" apart from being an informative article, Chris, in reply to a question of (when did he think the best time was on the soul scene) stated something along the lines of "The best times, will always seem to be when you and your friends are having a ball, but you only realise that in retrospect" Could it be that we are now enjoying a renaissance of the scene and hearing more great sounds and genres than ever before all at the same venue, but we will only come to realise this at some juncture in the future? SOUL food for thought eh!

Hello one and all, can anyone give me more details about the Kilmarnock thing, I will check the colors website. But what I want to know is whose playing and what are they playing, fares, places to stay etc. I know Bob Jeffries did a garage rnb soul set at Catch a while back,is TJ going up to do a full on 'soul' set? Cheers. Also if you like jazz-funk and old school, are free this evening and looking for a place to go try Fluid @ 40 Charterhouse Street EC1 very near Farringdon tube (10-2). It's free to get in and is the second of a monthly affair. I will be there with my notebook looking for inspiration for what to play at Soul Heaven at the dn of this month.

I loved Caister up until the big split, The problem was/is most punters are up for a good time first & the music second. There are alot of people who never move on from the big choonz/totp syndrome and thats fine. The really big problem was what happened in '88 and to a lesser extent '86. Acid swept all before it away those who were looked to for direction just couldn't or wouldn't give a lead or jumped onto the band bandwagon. Djs got lazy & apart from the few. I'm as gulity as most but also the scene shrank due to people getting married/patners/morage ect.Due to the orginal caister elites attitude (only this is "soul" and you don't fit so fuck off) there wasn't really the influx of new punters to take the place of those who dropped out. Anyway who cared if you could go to a club, take a pill and dance to what the so called "establishmnt" said was a subvervise & dangerous cult (see Teddy boys/mods/hippies/punks. Another problem was the old guard Dj's were fearful of anyone who wanted to break into the scene and really did have the talent (ok the likes of Holloway, Oakenfold did get a "break" but what do they have to do soul & black music. Soul music Dj's are & will be a cartel, those who push the enevlope are destined to stay "undiscovered". The fact that up until '86 & the coming of def jam you could hear the likes of "Circles"/Fela Kuti/Eddie Jedfferson/Special Devlivery all in one night in one room (and ok you might not like everything but the chances of hearing something you did & might not know of is a damm sight more appealing than rushing from room to room in the vain hope that you might just catch a good tune). I'll admit that during the late 80's/early 90's black america wasn't producing records of the quality that we in the scene demanded but there were the records were there the trouble was too few were willing to dig a little bit deeper. The L.A.D.s was a a great concept but its hero worship of a Dj (who was past his prime) and then blew the scene out as soon as it didn't look cred anyone must tell you how sad the scene was. Don't get me wrong there were great nights but the coming of the two room mentality was the start of the downfall of the scene as we know it.

Morning all. Once again sorry if anyone was offended by my original comments, caister blues take a long while to wear off. Seems that we all want the same thing. I like many others stopped going to caister towards the end of the eighties, to return from camber sands onwards. Last caister we managed to recriut some more "old boys" to return, their comments were "what happened to all the classic tunes?" be it in the main room or the club room. The sports bar was a great idea,long may it continue. Surely there are enough "classic's" that are unplayed for the cirles of this world not to be done to death? I for one tend to avoid finalle as it is just a rehash of what has already been spun the weekend, perhaps "changing rooms" needs to be called in to give caister a makeover, or DJ's need to look further than the one record box they take with them? P.S. Niki hope the photo of Kaya and your first snakebite of the Friday came out okay? the photographer does not have the steadiest of hands!

Ok, while we're at it: Being a relative newcomer to the scene, I can vividly remember my first Caister in May 94. (When I still had a memory) I spent most of the weekend in the main room as I found the music more accessible. The club room atmosphere & it's music policy grew on me with each subsequent Caister to the point where that's where you'll usually find me when the bar is open. I feel that those people who left 'those' entries on the Weekender guest book also find that the main room suits them better and I would applaud them for just coming to Caister & getting off on the unique vibe. As they, like I did, discover a whole new realm of music not usually heard via mainstream media, they may well go on to enjoy jazz, modern soul, northern, etc. Some of what we're into could be described as an acquired taste & if the more obvious tunes provide a link to the rarer stuff then that surely must be good for the scene. By the 'scene', I mean jocks, promoters & punters, who are all equally dependant on each other in keeping it going. So, Lurkio, I for one would never sneer at a 'beginner'(we all were once) just because he or she may be into a tune some of us regard as obvious - I'm just happy that new punters are coming along to replace those who must, inevitably, 'retire', again keeping the vibe alive. I have found the people in the scene amongst the most welcoming, open - minded, laid back & generous folk you could wish to meet.

Niki & Kaya, excellent arguments, wish I'd have said that! I first started attending the weekenders by the cold North Sea way back in the early 1980's and after a brief time 'away' I returned in 1994 to the All New version. Things have not changed at all especially not at finale and that's not a good thing. As Snowboy said ", it's also living, breathing and growing and interactive" How can you dance to music if it's standing still?

Mornin'! Lurkio, if you scroll right down to the bottom of this page you can see a link to the guestbook archives. I refer you to Saturday January 13 2001 - Kaya's entry at 14:25:7, Lynda & Chop's entry at 17:27:39 and my entry at 18:32:9. You can read the whole debate from 8th to 14th January. The 'Circles' thing is an in-joke. It's a great tune, and we do appreciate that it's lots of people's fave, honestly! I'm sure it was my fave too for a few weeks back in 1986 (by then it was already a soul 'classic' and quite possibly the Soulboys who bought it in 1982 were already naffed off with it!?!!). I bought my 12" in a Charity Shop for 10p way back when. We love Caister, we love the Main Room classics - Please visit the Cheesy Caister Party Special on the music page for proof that we acknowledge the Weekender Anthems for being just that. The point is there are some of us that have been listening to Soul Music for many years, and have spent more days and nights partying in the Main Room than we'd care to mention (with many more to come no doubt). We love Soul Music in all it's guises, and know there's so much more to it than the Anthems. There are hundreds of great tunes gathering dust in DJs collections that are crying out to be played to an appreciative, knowledgeable Soul crowd. At the moment we have to rely on specialist gigs, and weekenders like Soul Essence and Togetherness to hear the kind of soul music we're into, and we'd love to be able to do that at our first love, the Caister Soul Weekend, too. It's not radical change we're on about just a little musical enhancement here and there!!
Mornin'! Lurkio, if you scroll right down to the bottom of this page you can see a link to the guestbook archives. I refer you to Saturday January 13 2001 - Kaya's entry at 14:25:7, Lynda & Chop's entry at 17:27:39 and my entry at 18:32:9. You can read the whole debate from 8th to 14th January. The 'Circles' thing is an in-joke. It's a great tune, and we do appreciate that it's lots of people's fave, honestly! I'm sure it was my fave too for a few weeks back in 1986 (by then it was already a soul 'classic' and quite possibly the Soulboys who bought it in 1982 were already naffed off with it!?!!). I bought my 12" in a Charity Shop for 10p way back when. We love Caister, we love the Main Room classics - Please visit the Cheesy Caister Party Special on the music page for proof that we acknowledge the Weekender Anthems for being just that. The point is there are some of us that have been listening to Soul Music for many years, and have spent more days and nights partying in the Main Room than we'd care to mention (with many more to come no doubt). We love Soul Music in all it's guises, and know there's so much more to it than the Anthems.

Mornin' Maaates!! Does anyone remember the L.A.D.S from the early 1980's? The League Against Disco Sh*t? There has always been a certain amount of snobbery on the soul scene, even before its fragmentation in the mid 1980's. The Jazz fans looked down on the soul fans, the soul fans looked down on the disco fans, eventually the disco fans looked down on the electro fans etc etc through house, garage, techno, trance yada yada. Music, especially MOBO, is a fluid animal. It's never the same thing from year to year. We need to keep sight of the steps that we have taken to get to this musical plateau and keep a certain amount of respect for it. Circles, Act Like You Know, All This Love, Somebody Else's Guy - in their time each one of those was the biggest toon of their respective Caisters, in the days when each weekender had an outstanding 'anthem'. When Alex Lowes started the Blackpool Weekenders (now Southport) it was just what we needed and soul fans en masse made an exodus up North to sample the delights of REAL soul. Of course, the weekender has now moved on but many of us have moved in a different direction and there appears to be a new soul scene developing as a sort of sub-cultural spin-off from the bigger scene. Essence, Togetherness, Chocolate Soul, Queens Of Soul - Like in the 1980's there is a distinct and separate 'soul' scene but this time it is inhabited by as many southerners as northerners. Maybe soul music will eventually do what the trade unions, Labour government, decentralisation and the strong £ never did - bridge the North/South divide and (sorry) BRING THE FAMILY BACK! We have got to embrace each others' differing opinions and keep in mind that there are fewer and fewer of us about. #Come on Family, help me sing...my brother don't give up, you just keep on hanging on....STRONG. Oh my sister don't give up you just keep the faith that love will bring - DON'T GIVE UP# ...(lecture over)

Gary M - I'm agreeing with you totally re Bob Jones, he's a deejaying hero to me too and that's why I singled him out amongst others as being a DJ who stays true to his various roots while remaining original and fresh. A great latin house set, jazz set or soul set is nothing less than what I would expect fom him. He's still doing it now because for the most part, his attitide and determination have been unwavering. That's why he is playing such uncompromising and entertaining sets to an appreciative crowd in any kind of room at Southport and not, dare I say, "Circles" or "Jump Around". The same applies to TJ the DJ too - the only overnight sensation I know to take 20 years to get there, Gary Dennis, Chris Brown, Richard Searling, Frenchie and others too. So far as Brian Rix is concerned, you are right in that he won't advocate any change so long as it's raking in the mullah. I'm sure he realises this but the crowd (me included) who starting going back to Caister in the mid 90's were happy to go along with the early 80's vibe for a while but you can only serve up the same dish for so long before people start losing their appetite for same ole, same ole and start wanting to sample other things. The success of Caister going forward alas won't purely be beacuse the 30 & 40 somethings who frequent this website turn up but largely because of the generation behind us. There's only so many times you can hear "Act Like You Know" and "All This Love That I'm Givin" on a revival tip and still get the same feeling that you did 5-6 years ago when you hadn't heard it for 5-6 years before that. Lurkio, I don't think we're all blinkered at all, we all know it has to change but adopting a Top Of The Pops or suburban radio dance music policy is not the way this event survives - or maybe it is, but it won't be for most of the people who truly love the scene now and have done now for many years. These exact same debates took place in the early 80's too at the original Caister weekenders and what happened then is probably happening again - only to resurface a few years later with a more soulful, smaller and intimate clublike Caister weekender, the emergence of Berwick and the original Blackpool weekenders and modern soul.

Hi Dawn, im fine. Richard, you,ve got a good point about Caister mate, but I seem to recall we were all moaning about The music policy there in the early eighties. While Mr Rix gets 2000 bodies through the door every 6 months, he's never going change it is he? And who can blame him.

This is more like it, a bit of a debate going on.Brandon Block did not always play house,When i did my own weekenders in the late eighties,he played some good sets when he was sober.I agree caister does need something to put that zing back into the proceedings. It's no good moaning about the music policy if we don't tell Brian Rix. Caister is stil good it just needs retooning!!!!!! IAN we must talk, I'll ring you tomorrow!

Evening Maates. A bit heavy in here tonight re our definition of soul music. Andy me old mucker I hear wot your saying, and as you know from years of old Bob Jones is somewhat of a hero to me with regard to Soul Music. However maate, one of the highlights of Southport for me this year was Bob's Latin House Set in the alternative room. Kaya and Niki, sorry I didn't make it to Islington Heights tonight, got stuck on the Circle line and went round and round, out of me head, tried so hard to make that choice, ball of confusion, so took the District to Mile End instead.

sorry for any offence caused earlier, I am note a "blocko" fan but feel that "cirles", like many other tunes you may all consider to cheesy,is a great song. sure it gets played to death, but so do many other more "respectable" tunes. The reference I was making was to an entry soon after caister (it's taken me THAT long to come out)which made fun of three "caister virgins" who noted on the weekender site that "circles" was their tune of the weekend, or did I miss something, and it was someone taking the preverbial? If not surely "new blood", like this guys is what caister needs? Those of you I have meet, and no doubt those I haven't are genuinely nice people, I just think you need to take your blinkers off now and again

Thought the Brandon Block thing had passed by a little too quietly - so now the can of worms is truly open here's my twopenneth - soul dj he is not, never was, never will be. House and Dance DJ he is, and a good one too by all accounts. Caister is not and should not be about that - there are a million other venues week-in week-out to go to if that is your chosen bag. And please don't get the idea that I'm a total modern soul anorak because I'm not - I enjoy varied soulful uptempo dance sets from the likes of MAW, Bob Jones, Bobbi & Steve and many others as much as the next soulboy. Southport (in my opinion) made a big mistake in sidelining real soul in the mid 90's in favor of Y2K Dance and despite better reports of late, I've not been back - that coincided with a reborn Caister and I've gone to most of them ever since. That said, there is no doubt that the Caister format is looking a little tired and in need of something new - Brandon Block ain't it I'm afraid. The blue touch paper is lit, I shall now get off my soap box and take the inevitable flak!!!

Allo peeps!! gotta join in!! I think it's splendid that there are so many conflicting opinions and if people can't handle a bit of criticsm tough!! As for speeding toons up i think (personally) that it's ok if it's an insrumental, sometimes. I've known a few dj's to speed a toon up AND down whether it be funk, soul, and especially insrumental latin jazz, 33 played at 45!! Anyway that's MY opinion. That said, i must agree that "Twilight" was being played a tad to fast. Oi Maz, thanks but i've got a contact no for Addel (i think that's what here name is) in Lowestoft. Thanks also to Scouserpaul & Andy. Spoke to Stew while he was at the 19th hole.

Mr. Lurkio, I don't think anyone gets ignored, either on the forum, or when we meet up and get mashed up. The Blandon Brock thing was just a joke response regarding an overplayed choon(well, overplayed if you go to a lot of the doos, like most of us do) . True, there are some anoraks here, but that only means they're passionate about the music/era etc. That's not to mean that they're ignorant or pompous. Hell, most of em are patient enough to even talk to me! Sorry if the idiot(!) going under the alias of 'Blandon Brock' offended you, or anyone else. I've nothing against the bloke; I even enjoyed his set at Seduction last year. Remember, we're all maaates here.

He looked at me in amazment. Don't these punters get the plot.

You don't have to wear an anorak to be let in to Caister..just be like me...know all the words so you can sing along to every soul song they play but not score very high on the soul "Trivial Pursuit"!

Oi Niki Snowboys news letter "Check out www.soulboys.co.uk You'll find excellent (and very funny) photos both new and archive, great reviews, DJ profiles and some entertaining goss in the forum section. The site is the work of Niki, a (very young looking) stalwart of the soul scene and all credit must go to her for her creation. I thought I'd mention 'soulboys' as it gives a great flavour of what the scene was and still is. I was very interested to read in last month's issue that Bob Jones is going to write a book on the UK Black music scene and I agree with Snowboythat there's probably no-one better placed to do the job as him - a cutting edge DJ for over 30 years. I very much look forward to its publication. However, something like the Soulboys website is perhaps even better than any book could hope to be - not only does it have great first hand anecdotal history and photographs, it's also living, breathing and growing and interactive. the site also makes you realise a very important fact that people such as the London-media friendly authors of "Last night a DJ saved my life" (which I enjoyed depite it's flaws) would not like to promote: that the Soul and Black Music Scene in this country is very much of the suburbs and never really was much of a london thing at all, London, as always, was for Fads. And talking of Suburbs..................See you soon Stevie Cee "

Yours contained one to soulboys. We don`t mind what you say about the DJs, or us come to that! The process of automated removal is to stop anyone from using the Caister guestbook to advertise anything either for commercial purposes (gigs that are not ours) it ignores words like Caister, Soul Heaven, etc. Or to publicise something not "recognised", which includes non-caister URL`s. Unfortunately your message fell into this category. I will have it replaced without the URL straight away. Sorry about that But I hope this explains it fully. Brian So there you go mates! I suppose it's fair as any old site could advertise on every other site - but I think Soulboys should be an exception, don't you.....?? ta-da. xx.

Bit of a let down really AND came home sober. Bum. I went on the Caister site last night to tell them how good I thought it was and to ask when Andy Unique Rythym is playing at Soul Heaven (seeing as he used to play all the time when it was at the Berwick) and, guess what - IT'S BEEN DELETED!! Funny that. Whenever anyone says something just a teensy weeensy bit contraversial - you get put in the big recycle bin in the sky... No sense of adventure that lot.... oh hum. ta-da for now. xx.

Afternoon, soulheads! Nice early finish today so I can start on that mountain of paperwork. Can't wait. At least the cable is back online so Tj's 7's will sound authentically crackly tonight. Which brings me neatly on to Kilmarnock: Bev has blown out, Tony & Jo can only travel Saturday (siuts me too). Virgin Trains do not have any tickets for that weekend from London to Glasgow, if their website is to be believed, so that means we're flying. Just checked Ryanair & we can get a return for £11 quid plus taxes. Yes £11 quid! Loads of flights from Stanstead on the Saturday & loads coming back. If you travel back after the 10.15, however, it's £30. I think I'll book up tonight. Niki & Kaya - ok with you?

Monk I am not sure that you realy want to pursue this strategy of Tuskers defense, I would seem to guareentee a Queen Sacrifice by you for a pawn exchange.Dont forget I havnt been drunk since 1985 you on ther other hand Monk proberbly think that if your last drink was at 1935 (24 hr clock) youve set a record. I say let the pics fall where they may, Bring on the photos. Unbearded one.

So if any of you are forced to visit Boston drop me a line and visit my place. EXCHANGE. LOVE TO YOU AND YOURS. MARK

My mode of transport to Mauldon will not allow me any space for my toons and i need to contact her to see if she could be of any assistance in taking them for me. Dukes is ok for August bank holiday Sunday, although a venue by the river could be an option, i'll keep everyone posted. Oh well back to work!!

www.astrocenter.com: Your Weekly
Horoscope at 7:57:52 Monday May 14 2001
Dear Soulboy, here is your Weekly Horoscope for May 14 to May 20 You should find this week quite a bit easier emotionally than last week. Don't be surprised if you feel a greater need to be alone. This will be in part because of the need to regenerate after Mars going retrograde, but also due to the Moon sextiling with Neptune this week on Friday. While the latter alone isn't a major influence for you, the combination and timing of its influence is sure to have an impact. The only people you may wish to spend any time with will be those you are closest to, or those who have asked for your support with something. Engaging in some sort of helping activity can be more regenerating than anything else, as it brings great satisfaction. Don't be too hard on yourself if you find that you just aren't as much into work as usual. You may even notice that you tend to daydream. Go easy, as your body will let you know its limitations and you would be wise to take heed. If you get as much rest as you need, you'll be back in the groove in no time.

Are you all listening, I shall say this only once (or else I'll start blubbering again!)! - THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH! I had such a good brithday (or at least I've been told I did!)! Thank you for all the wishes from those who couldn't be there (never though I'd have TJ wiching me a happy birthday!)! For all those that were there...what can I say? If one was judged on what they achieved on this mortal coil by their calibre of friends then I wold be a real saint! But not that boring! A special thanks to all who attended the tea party, but especially CD and Craig for stressing the organising, Kaya and QC for the pictures (lovely!) C28 for having it there and all the Soulboys posse for keeping it a secret! Also KSK security for making me paranoid (not that I needed much help!) Frostie for being Frostie, Brownie for buying me a drink (yes its true!)!, Monk for being Monk, Mrs Webbo for the badge, Chezza and Marco et all for waving those lovely piccies at me in the Sports bar, Dog for being my Daddy, Mr Rix for C28k, Charlie for sorting Ali out, the Strapless wonder for tghe vodka jellies, Tenerife Dave for Sunday morning, and my Dave for letting me slip for 2 days! And anyone else (P Pixie, Auntie Jo, Bev, SPaul, Rushden Lot, Sourmash crew, Sarah and the Basingstoke Nutters) Thanks!

real soul fans fear not, our hero l.j reynolds is alive and well and still the bomb! went to see the dramatics in newark, nj last night on a bill that also contained the delfonics, intruders and stylistics (minus lead falsetto russell tompkins unfortunately). the dramatics stole the show with favorites such as "whatcha see is whatcha get" and "in the rain"....highlights for me though were "hey you, get off my mountain" (really needs to be played again) and "fell for you". alas no "key to the world" but you can't have it all!!! gary m - hope to see you end of month for late may holiday as i expect to be back in london.

What a great bunch of peeps, brilliant dancin' (i've never seen so many stockings & sussies) and the music was very infectious. Checked out the record stall and bought a 7" of The Imperials "Who's gonna love me" for 20 of your English pence. Who wants it 'cos i've already got one. It was crying out for a lovin' home so i had to buy it, on sale for 20p, 1st come 1st served!!! Cya!

Bob J, I keep all the original photos, but they are only in digital format. You can save pictures from the site by right clicking on them with your mouse and selecting "save picture as". The original images are slightly larger and better in quality (640x480), which helps if you want to print them out - but that's still very low res so they won't print out brilliantly..... I managed to lose all the flyers I had for "I luv NY @ Colours" so my moment of glory is gone :O))... are we all still up for a Scottish away-day on 23rd June ????
