this was our 4th special guest night and we were hoping dj matt from trowbridge would follow sean chapman,des parker and pete tebbutt in making another night to remember and he certainly did.Our average crowd is normally about 80 people but on saturday we had 130+ breaking our record by 30!
After a few teething problems with one of the decks changing to 33 half way through records,we made a quick change with a technics in the venues cupboard...phew!...ian mccree did an hours set from 930 till 10 30 mainly mid tempo soul and popcorn,the other three residents myself ,john stapleton and sean parry did little 20 minutes sets of more uptempo northern,rnb and some lp only motown killers before matt did his hour set at 11 30...i came back on for half an hour after matt finishing with backslop for sean to do half an hour of RARE killer skinhead reggae.John finshed with half an hour of a little bit more reggae/ska and rnb and soul and at the end at 2am we still had a full floor of people wanting more.
Matt always plays a great set(check him out at hip hug her this saturday!)...an awesome set of big classics you dont get bored with and current soul and latin in demanders.The crowd loved it and remember we have a crowd of all ages and half of them are hearing tunes like 'im a big man' for the first time so they were giving cheers and woops at lines like 'take you to the wood shed and drop a couple of planks on you !' aswell as the applause after every track.
So a massive thanx to all who turned out especially the travellers from taunton,thornbury,wales and wilts and ofcourse our friend and guest dj matt.
Roll on dec when we have another guest,bristol rockabilly and top bloke ed trueman will be giving us a very special rnb set,i for one cant wait.
