TRIP EXTRA DEC 2014

THE TRIP WITH VINTAGE VINYL AT MILK READING, THE LAST SATURDAY EACH MONTH, PLAYLIST FOR AN EXTRA SESSION ON 27/12/14. LISTEN TO THE EVENING ON MIXCLOUD IN TWO PARTS, TYPE IN JIM B. DONOVAN.

  WELL THEY SAY EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED! THIS EXTRA SESSION WAS ADDED WITHOUT TOO MUCH WARNING TO COMPLEMENT THE PARTY NIGHT THE PREVIOUS SATURDAY. MOSTLY THE EARLY PART OF THE EVENING IS MADE UP OF A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE GREAT JOE COCKER, WITH A SECTION OF BRITISH BEAT ETC. ADDED.  THE LAST 6 TUNES OF JOES ARE FROM HIS AMAZING "MAD DOGS AND ENGLISH MEN" 2 LP. I EXPECTED TO KEEP IT MELLO ALL NIGHT AS WE DID NOT THINK THE BAR WOULD BE CROWDED. WRONG. SOON WE WERE IN FULL PARTY MODE, WITH THE PLACE PACKED TO THE RAFTERS. I TRIED NOT TO SPEAK TOO MUCH, AND AS USUAL DURING THE LAST  HOUR THE WHOLE THING FELL APART. WILL I NEVER LEARN! QUITE A LOT OF REQUESTS WERE PULLED FROM THE BOXES, AND I HAD A LITTLE HELP FROM A "HELPER" SO WE MOVE ON TO 2015, AND THE 10 th ANNIVERSARY OF THE NIGHT IN FEBRUARY. WHERE WILL IT ALL END? ENJOY-Jim.

THE SECOND SESSION AT THE FOX, AND ALTHOUGH NOT QUITE AS BUSY AS THE FIRST, SEEMED TO GO DOWN VERY WELL. I HAD A FEW RECORDING PROBLEMS WITH ONE CHANNEL, SO I HAVE MIXED THIS UPLOAD DOWN TO MONO (MOST OF THE TUNES ARE RTHAT FORMAT ANYWAY) I ALSO AM NOT RECORDING MY CHAT SO THIS SHOULD RUN AS A CONTINUOUS MUSIC MIX, WITH THE ODD GAP, WHERE I DID NOT TALK OVER THE TUNE. ANDREW AND PETER GAVE ME A HAND, AND A BREAK, BY DROPPING SOME TUNES, HAVING TO GET USED TO THE STATE OF MY "FILING" SYSTEM. I TRIED TO DROP THE VOLUME TOWARDS THE END OF THE NIGHT, SO SOMETIMES THE LEVELS THERE VARY. ALSO AS USUAL I HAVE NOT LISTENED BACK TO IT YET, SO UPLOADED IT GOES WARTS AND ALL. BACK AGAIN ON JANUARY 2 nd, WITH A RATHER DIFFERENT NEW YEARS EVE SESSION IN BETWEEN.

THE TRIP WITH VINTAGE VINYL. SESSION 118, 20/12/14, AT MILK, READING.

LISTEN TO THE RECORDING ON MIXCLOUD-JIM B. DONOVAN.

THIS SESSION STARTS WITH AN HOUR OR SO OF SOUL AROUND SEVEN (PLEASE EXCUSE THE "GAP" AFTER STEVIE WONDER, GREMLINS IN THE MIXER! VIRTUALLY NO CHAT FROM ME, SO A CONTINUOUS MIX, MOSTLY 70'S TUNES, AND NEARLY ALL PLAYED OFF SEVENS, WITH A BIT OF A MIXTURE OF WELL KNOWN TUNES WITH A FEW FUNK OBSCURITIES DROPPED IN).. THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT! FOR ONCE I CHOSE NOT TO PLAY ANYTHING THAT WAS "TOO CHRISMASSY", AS THE TUNES DATE SO QUICKLY. I JUST WENT FOR PARTY TUNES, WITH A FEW (DYLAN, SPRINGSTEEN, WILBURYS etc) PLAYED FOR THE HARD WORKING BAR STAFF, BECAUSE THEY REALLY WORKED THEIR SOCKS OFF. FORTUNATELY NOT MUCH CHAT FROM ME, APART FROM ANNOUNCING THAT THE BAR WAS OPEN LATER THAN USUAL, WITH TIM PLAYING AFTER ME.

NO ROOM FOR SQUARES-JAZZORIZIT-WITH VINTAGE VINYL, SESSION 79 AT MILK, READING. LISTEN TO THE SESSION ON MIXCLOUD-JIM B. DONOVAN WELL AFTER A VERY HECTIC SATURDAY AT MILK, IT’S ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO RETURN A FEW DAYS LATER AND TO DO A SESSION THAT ALLOWS ME TO THINK, PLAY SOME VERY DIFFERENT TUNES (AND GET TO THE LOO!) THE NIGHT WAS NOT TERRIBLY BUSY, BUT PERHAPS THAT IS BECAUSE SOME OF OUR REGULARS ARE SAVING THEMSELVES UP FOR THE EXTRA SESSION NEXT WEEK, FEATURING SOME LIVE JAZZ. THE REAL THING. THANKS TO PETER FOR FINISHING OFF THE EVENING FOR ME BY PLAYING A FEW TUNES HE HAD WITH HIM, AND SELECTING SOME OF MINE. IT GIVES ME CHANCE TO HAVE A CHAT WITH THOSE WHO WERE THERE. IT ALSO SATISFIES PETERS CANNONBALL/RAMSEY FETISH! THE FINAL TUNES TITLE ALSO IS INTERESTING! I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS MIX, WHERE I MANAGED TO AVOID JINGLE BELL JAZZ! SOME OF THAT WILL COME NEXT WEEK HOWEVER WHEN I PLAY A FEW SETS BETWEEN THE BAND.

TRIP 29/11/14

THE TRIP WITH VINTAGE VINYL-SESSION 117 playlist (29/11/14). LISTEN TO THE SESSION ON MIXCLOUD IN 2 PARTS-JIM B. DONOVAN. 
THE NEXT SESSION IS DECEMBER 20th. BCNU, Hopefully/Jim
Well they say expect the unexpected, and the night was “almost” that. It is some time since a group turned up at MILK, that remembered me from the 80’s/90’s dj ‘ing at their own children’s birthday parties around Twyford, but the night was just that. I started the evening with an extended Soul Around Seven set, then at 8.00 moved into TRIP mixed up mode. It was fairly quiet for an hour, then slowly after 9.00, it began to fill, to the extent that by 11.00, the door staff were holding customers back! At just after 10.30, the Twyford connection was made, and I therefore “slipped”, into 80’s kids disco mode, with my fave 80’s tune Mickey getting on. Then it just went bananas, with singing along /dancing/requests etc. Lots of tunes were pulled from boxes with one lovely group spending some time doing “head photos” with record sleeves. And at the end an enormous singalong to Bonnie Tyler (my trying to clear the place tune), all being recorded. If you listen to the recording when I post it, avoid the last hour as it was chaotic, but the audio obviously will not capture the vibe which was brilliant. Someone said to me if another dj played these tune elsewhere he/she would be booed off, but apparently I am allowed to get away with it! I lost track of the amount of bookings (and there is me trying to cut back on the mobile), I was asked to do! The only problem was getting to the loo. I had to ask several customers to go for me. I am going to have it put into my contract, that I have my own loo!
   I do not wish to sound complacent, but evenings like this, where you are not playing niche, and have to be ready to suit occasionally a non regular crowd, are the most gratifying, when they work, and last night certainly proved that. Getting customers to dance often is not difficult, but to conjure up a vibe that goes beyond that is not easy. Also, I am in the thick of the crowd, and really have to connect with them, unlike some dj’s who just have their heads down, and knob twiddle. This also means however that my “mixing” gets very confused as each tune does not “beat match” the previous. On the night with crowd noise it is not so apparent, but on the recording it obviously does show up.
   Finally it makes me think that I did all those years, pre computer, without the need to report on gigs, record them, or share experiences, and yet I am still remembered in certain quarters. 
Thanks again to all of you for the session- Jim of JIMZDISCO

SOUL TIME WITH VINTAGE VINYL AT THE FOX AND HOUNDS, CAVERSHAM. PLAYLIST FOR THE SESSION ON 7/11/14. LISTEN TO THE RECORDING ON MIXCLOUD-JIM B. DONOVAN. THE NEXT SESSION IS ON DECEMBER 5th, ALWAYS ON THE FIRST FRIDAY, 8.00 TO MIDNIGHT.


WELL SOUL TIME RETURNED AND AT A NEW GREAT VENUE WITH A GREAT VIBE, THANKS TO LANDLORD KEV., AND CHRIS GALE. THIS EVENING STARTED MANY YEARS AGO AND HAS MOVED TO SEVERAL LOCATIONS, BUT LET US HOPE THAT THIS ONE WITH THE FIRST FRIDAY AS THE DATE BECOMES A PERMANENT FIXTURE. IT SURE SEEMS LIKE IT FROM THIS FIRST VERY BUSY ONE, AND WE JUST HAD ENOUGH ROOM FOR A LITTLE DANCE ACTION TO GET GOING. I HAVE HAD NO TIME TO CHECK THE RECORDING, BUT DO REMEMBER GLITCHES AROUND ZOOT MONEY/SYMARIP, JUST PROVING HOW LIVE THIS IS. I ALSO CHATTED A LITTLE, BUT HOPEFULLY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECORDED. QUITE A LOT OF REQUESTS WERE PLAYED AND PETER HELPED ME OUT AGAIN BY PLAYING A DOZEN OR SO TUNES TO ALLOW ME TO SOCIALISE. SO IF YOU HAVE MISSED YOUR DOSE OF SOUL FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS HERE IT IS AGAIN, AND LONG MAY IT PROSPER.ENJOY-Jim.

NO ROOM FOR SQUARES SESSION 78, JAZZORIZIT? WITH VINTAGE VINYL AT MILK, READING, 4/11/14. 
LISTEN TO THE SESSION ON MIXCLOUD-JIM B. DONOVAN.

WELL THE ATTENDANCE RETURNED TO "NORMAL" AFTER LAST MONTHS VERY QUIET SESSION, 
WITH PLENTY OF TUNES SELECTED BY THOSE IN THE BAR. I PLAYED A SHORT TRIBUTE TO ACKER, PROVING HE COULD GO A LITTLE BEYOND "TRAD", AND I ALSO TURNTABLED A FEW "LEFTOVERS" FROM HALLOWEEN. APOLOGIES FOR THE SLIGHT PROBLEM ON THE SARAH VAUGHAN TRACK, BUT AT LEAST IT SHOWS THIS SESSION IS VERY LIVE. I AM ALSO HAVING TO "EDUCATE" MYSELF TO FIND TIME TO HAVE A QUIET CHAT WITH EVERYONE INDIVIDUALLY, AS WELL AS PUTTING TUNES ON! 

THE NEXT SESSION ON DEC 2 nd., FEATURES SOME JINGLE BELL JAZZ, WITH AN EXTRA SESSION FEATURING SOME LIVE JAZZ NEARER CHRISTMAS. THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO SUPPORT THIS FAIRLY UNIQUE EVENING, AND ALSO THOSE WHO LISTEN ON MIXCLOUD. WHERE WOULD I BE

THE TRIP SESSION 116- THE NORTHERNMIDLANDSOUTHERNEASTERNWESTERN SOUL SPECIAL, WITH VINTAGE VINYL AT MILK, READING-25/10/14. LISTEN TO THE SESSION IN TWO PARTS ON MIXCLOUD-JIM B. DONOVAN

Well I had a few hesitations about doing a session like this at MILK, due to the nature of the 
music being very dance related, and the venue not really having a “dance floor”. I need not 
have worried, the dancers managed to create one! The whole idea was to celebrate the legacy 
of Roger Eagle the first dj at the TWISTED WHEEL, off the back of the NORT*ERN SOUL 
film. The first set was made up of the sort of music that Roger and myself any many others 
were playing at the time, with Sonny Boy Williamson’s Help Me being the first ever tune 
played at the Wheel. Peter Baker who was in for the night took over for an hour or so, and 
made a cracking job, managing to play out of my very disorganised boxes. In some ways this 
night was possibly a turning point for the many sessions I undertake at MILK, it certainly 
had that little bit of fairy dust! I am however starting up again my SOUL TIME night shortly 
at another venue playing similar music, with hopefully recordings popping up again on 
MIXCLOUD. This one was a little “unbalanced” sound wise, due to me trying out a new 
recording system. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this, it could be the start of something small-

NO ROOM FOR SQUARES-JAZZORIZIT ?-SESSION 77 WITH VINTAGE VINYL AT MILK, READING, 14/10/14. LISTEN TO THE RECORDED SESSION ON MIXCLOUD-JIM B. DONOVAN
Well a very quiet evening I am afraid, due to the night being put back for this month only by one week. Back to the normal first tuesday next month however. A little like last month not too much "proper jazz", but some great tunes that fitted with the lovely sound system in MILKS very old building. I started with a few sampled /classic tunes for a hour or so, then a short blues segment, with quite a lot of vocal tunes following. A short tribute to Joe Sample, and Carmen Mc Rae's current biggie followed, with Grant taking us out with Another Day In the Life.So ok you may not have been there but you can now listen back at your leisure. Enjoy, and I only spoke once!-Jim
