Kiveton Park

It was the first night at Kiveton Park following the move from Ponds Forge. There was a birthday party a few miles away and Blackpool weekender so the numbers were down. It was still enjoyable as the music was good with many records which are not played too often and some that I hadn't heard before. I didn't have dance but looking forward to the next night Decemer 7th.

Barrow Hill!

Yet another great night at Barrow Hill with a good turn out. The music was good and the dance floor busy. Thanks to Neil for standing in for Keith and also to Guest DJ Kev Smedley, both did an execellent spot. Looking forward to the next one December 1st with Guest DJ Tony Wiggan from Sheffield.

I have made some changes in the record section. Thought I would add a couple of instumental's for a change. Hope you enjoy them.

Pilsley

Had an enjoyable night at Pilsley as usual. There were plenty in making a good atomosphere. The music was good and Guest DJ Keith Manlove from Barrow Hill played a nice across the board spot for an hour, keeping the dance floor full. Thanks to the Cooper family for yet another soulful night. Looking forward to the next one.

Annesley

I really enjoyed Annesley last night. The music was good and I had a few dances. It was the first time I had seen Chris Dalton in action and wasn't at all disappointed, especially as he started with one of my favourite records Lend A Hand - Bobby Hutton. Good night all round as Pete played my number 1 Looking Up To You - Michael Wycoff. Off to Pilsley next weekend.

Record List

I have cut the records down to six and made three changes. Has anyone listened to a favourite of theirs yet? I shall be keeping Michael Wycoff and Willie Hutch on the list indefinitely.

Short Quiz

Just thought I would end this week with a short quiz.

Which soul singer was killed in 1984, the day before his 45th birthday?
Which record company does Michael Wycoff record with?
Which year was Willie Hutch born?
Where was Bobby Hutton born?
Which soul singer died suddenly on April 2nd 2003?

Changes

Just to let you know that I have made a few record changes.

Skegness

Another weekender over, I can't believe how fast it goes. It was really enjoyable with a good mix of records downstairs where I spent most of my time as expeceted. Friday was more of a social night catching up with up with everyone. I had a few dances Saturday and thought Sean Chapman did a brilliant spot playing alot of crossover which I used to hear at the Hollingwood. Sunday afternoon was a bit disappointing as everyone seemed to drift upstairs leaving only a few downstairs. We left around 4pm, looking forward to the next one now.

Skegness Weekender!

I'm really looking forward to this weekend as I'm off to the Skegness weekender tomorrow. Hopefully we should arrive in Skegness around 5pm just in time to settle in and get ready for the off around 8pm. I think that I shall be spending alot of time downstairs as most of my favourite DJ's shall be appearing there, playing crossover and modern. Especially looking forward to Soul Sam, Mark Hopes, Rob Kay and Steve Austin. Don't think I shall be going for my dance record of 123 this time but I'll see how it goes.

The Victory Club

It was our first visit to the Victory Club in Sheffield last night. I didn't really know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. It was mainly oldies with a few R&B. The place wasn't very big but it had a decent dance floor. I will definitely go back at some stage.
