TURNTABLE
DJ Joe Deacon was very obliging in giving us this top ten at such short 1 notice, i.e. when we collared him about two minutes before he was due on the decks last Wednesday! Joe’s , been pumping up the tunes since late ; 1989 in the famous Metropolis at Saltcoats (Best New Club of the Year l 1990- before the Tunnel). Although I technically outside List territory, let's 1 face it, hordes of you bus down there 1 every weekend from Glasgow and Edinburgh anyway. Joe stressesthat l the records he mentions here are l what's going down bestwith the l punters right now on his regular nights: Fridays at Club Metro (some relation . perhaps?) in Coatbridge, Saturdays at l THE Metro and Sundays atthe Buzz in I Hamilton. It you want a good work-out to all these tunes and more, see Joe ; and the rest of the excellent line-up at 1 Technotrance (Barrowlands, 5 July). For a completely ditterent approach and, we think, some at Mr Deacon’s real all-time Iaves, catch his Love Train at Cafe Cini on Bentield Street,
every Wednesday evening. (Donny Allen)
