Byker Groove!

[vibra]

Good grief, I do feel most unwell..

But what a great weekend! Wonderful to finally put some faces to some otherwise familiar vultures, and what a splendid bunch of righteous dudes you all are too.

Thanks to Sie, Sayers and all for organising yet another fine mess!

Oh, and some great music too! Might follow up with a tracklisting when I get my poor head back together..

[Campag Record]

Mr Sayers informs me it was very good. He's even been carbooting today with Towny (that's true dedication!)

[scriptfliper]

Had a great time, I can't believe I managed to play pool (and win )
the state i was in!

Great to put faces to names, even though I was introducing myself to
the locals as, Chris..... scriptfliper, much to their bemusement
How did you all do in the nightclub??

Great music! can't really remember peoples tunes but our james
has the CD's, looking forward to hearing them.
(not sure about mine, I was convinced i could here the record i was cueing
up through the monitor, I mentioned it to James this morning and
he said the crossfader didn't work! )

Cheers to everyone involved!
Chris.

[manzo]

I am shattered!

A cracking weekend, though I must apologise, once more, to anyone caught up in one of my rants! What can I say - it was a "zero tolerance" weekend. But Star Wars III *was*shit...

It was great meeting everyone, and I particularly enjoyed walking the streets of Newcastle even more so when we actually got the directions right...

Tracks I played:

Blackanized ft MC Mello - Ham n' Cheese
Jerry Beaks ft Sense Live - Hungry
Jungle Brothers - Jungle Brother (Stereo MC's Mix)
Rahzel - All I Know
Gunshot - Colour Code (Melanin Vocal Mix)
Gutter Snypes - Who Fell
Hero No.7 - Cut-up Party Tune 201

I have already forgotten virtually everything that everyone else played! Any chance I could get a copy of the CDs you burnt?

So, where and when's the next one?

[LDJB]

My heid hurts

What a top night - cool tunes, top geezers and waaay too much beer!

Cheers to Mr Sayers for sorting it all out. I'll post up a trackie once I'm better

The Vulture spun tunes on Sunday were exemplary, but I'd like to praise the residents sets on Saturday:
Davey
Gibby
James (I think? Lad with long hair & the van)
Mr Sayers
Sie Vulture

Some cracking stuff played. Plus, without their organisation and assistance, there wouldn't have been a meet in the first place.

WORD!!! Sorry we didn't manage to get down to The Tanners sooner (thanks to 'directions' for the scenic route from an elderly couple ). And you were indeed missed Mr. Campag - next time!

[Sie Vulture]

The only letdown was the absence of Campag Record. Where were you mate?!!!

...seconded.

[Colin Hero]

Many, many thanks from myself to everyone who organised the weekend. I had a great time apart from the meeting the world's most foul-mouthed man at the Northern do (no, not Manzo ) and hopefully I might even start to feel semi-normal sometime tomorrow.

My short 'fashionably late' set to kick things off consisted of the following :

Cold Crush Bros "Resurrected" [Front Page 12"]
Chubb Rock "Caught Up" [Select LP]
Kaos "Let The People Dance" [Bad Boy LP]
Kobalt 60 "Kaos From Order" [Music of Life 12"]

[Sie Vulture]

Cold Crush Bros "Resurrected" [Front Page 12"]

TUNE!!! Colin man, you gotta find me a copy of that twelve...

[Sie Vulture]

... who was that then...? ...was it one of us whilst stood in the freezing cold at 1.15am in the morning, enjoying the occasional waft of brewing yeast from just across the way...

[benjamin hatton]

TUNE!!! Colin man, you gotta find me a copy of that twelve...

i got one sie, pm me if you wanna trade....

[Colin Hero]

... who was that then...? ...was it one of us whilst stood in the freezing cold at 1.15am in the morning, enjoying the occasional waft of brewing yeast from just across the way...

It was one of the guys asking if we'd paid then before I could say anything came straight in with 'right you in the f***ing corridor, f***ing now' and many more less than polite turns of phrase.

Anyway enough about him, he was clearly an idiot, so to lighten the mood here by popular demand is a picture of Shut Up & Dance and DJ Hype (aka Scratchmaster Dr K) in their Private Party guise.

[scriptfliper]

Been great looking through the tracklists and thinking
Oh yeah, actually i do remember some of the songs that were played!!
Even if i was fairly pissed by about 8pm.

Ok, here's my tracky

Kinny & Horne - Why me (tru thoughts 7)
Foxy - Trouble (Double shot 7)
Sharon Jones - Genuine (Daptone 7)
King Floyd - groove me (chimneyville 7)

Stezo - To the max (fresh 12)
Edan - Fumbleing over words (lewis 12)
Quasimoto - Rapcats (Stones throw 12)
Jimmy Castor - King Kong pt. 1 (Atlantic 7)
African Music Machine (Soul power 7)

& Manzo, Star Wars ain't all that bad!!!

[Rich Hero]

& Manzo, Star Wars ain't all that bad!!!

Leave it!!! He's only just calmed down and you wouldn't want to wind him up again, would you?

[sermad]

Leave it!!! He's only just calmed down and you wouldn't want to wind him up again, would you?
