Is that Dave Benson Phillips?

Or that happy chef, Ainsley Harriot

Lenny Henry and Dawn French

To be fair, it looks like a cracking punch - weight nicely on the front foot as he’s followed through - textbook.

    Goddamn that punch. lol.

    Had no clue this existed, but sounds like an absolute nightmare. When people on here say, “too dangerous”, “the area is shady”, this is all just a euphemism for “stay away from the blacks”, I’m assuming.

      BlainSA Some tracks he doesn’t mix because they shouldn’t. E.g. drops a dnb track after house or even some soul number.

      Right. So I could basically do that. And, when I saw him, he didn’t exactly play stuff that was blindingly original, he just played tons of records I already have (for example, Unfinished Sympathy as mentioned).

      So what’s the point of Norman Jay?

          The records I didn’t have were absolute dogshit as well, for example ‘No, No, No’ by Dawn Penn.

          At one of the carnivals I went to he played Dooms Night no less than 60 times in a one hour set. Arise Sir Jay of Ledgeland!

          Don’t think I’ve ever even listened to Norman J let alone been to see him.

          I have actually heard him play Dooms Night.

          On the old Space Terrace too.

          Same here. At the Cross. Obviously plays it in every set. His own remix

          To be fair to him, Dooms Night is obviously bass heavy so works well off a carny float to 1,000 idiots off their beans on Red Stripe and goat curry. Not several times in one set mind you.

            Pffft. Amateur observation

            Once the float is round the corner you can play what you like again.

            With the right road configuration you could rinse embracing the sunshine on repeat for hours

                Mad_Cyril it’s a static float but here’s a safety lol to cover sarcasm/poor bantz

                «Lol»

                    I saw Norman J at the Southport Weekender around 96, mates made it a big deal to go catch him and iirc he wore a red trilby. I honestly can’t remember if he was good or bad, which is actually worse than saying he was shite when you think of it.

                    bosstrabs True. He always seems to play “classics” and big chart bombs. An “eclectic mix” lol. Think it just makes him more accessible.

                      mono-stereo

                      Yep, tyrant at the bomb was absolutely corking. No such thing as a bad night there. The music was so fucking bang on trippy coolness. It was actually really hard tracking down or even finding out what he was playing. So ahead of the game then. Now look. Absolute tosh.

                        Still not sure why Much Better Man gets so much hate on here. Always sounded great in the club.

                          BlainSA Prob the bit in the break which sounds like it’s been stuck for a lifetime.
