jamesmurphy 0 Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Last time I played any Black Lace was last september - The Music Man - a request. Don't know why I should remember that...lol Link to post Share on other sites
Norfolk DJ 0 Posted July 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 I have their 'great hits' album and find that at 'family parties' where there are a lot of children or old people, the tracks go down very well. They are a tool for the function DJ to use if needed. I build them into a 'party set'. I would say that the music man gets played about 6 times a year and the okey cokey as well. Maybe superman as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Westcott 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Black Lace - creators of songs that no-one will admit to liking. I rarely play anything like this unless asked, but don't have a problem with them as they usually go down fairly well - rather like the Birdie Song by the Tweets. You put that one on and hear the groans, but the floor fills with silly people looking idiotic and thorouglly enjoying themselves! :Thumbup: Link to post Share on other sites
Bolan-Boogie 0 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 The lead singer of Black Lace (Alan Barton) before his untimely death lived less than a mile away from me In Wales (His parents still do) even though they arent from this neck of the woods originally. Alan Fronted Black Lace through the years of their success (Agadoo etc) before leaving to replace Chris Norman as the lead singer of 70's / 80's band 'Smokie'. Alan was on tour with Smokie in Switzerland (I believe) when the tour bus left the road and Alan was Tragically Killed ! Lovely people his mum & dad and are now quite elderly and have never gotten over Alan's Death. For all you pop pickers !!! lol ........Black Lace Actually represented the UK in the Eurovision song contest with a song called 'Mary Anne' which was quite good, this was before their renowned 'Silly / Novelty period !

exbutlinred82 0 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Think they are awesome. Northern Folk love Penny Arcade..you shud give it a whirl................ Link to post Share on other sites
Cheezy 0 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Play Black Lace from time to time, 99% of the time it is requested. While on Holiday in the Costa's, I heard a newer version of the Music Man, or Mimic man with references to Little Britain, Becks etc. Does anyone know what this version is?

Revelationroadshow 0 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I rememeber there being some X-rated Black Lace around back in the late 80's / early 90's. I think the only one I can safely mention on here and in public was "Having a Gang Bang". Are these still available anywhere. Seem to remember then going down very well in the clubs of Bolton back then. Maybe not particularly suitable for the wedding market.... <a href="http://www.djassociates.org"><img src="http://www.djassociates.org/anims/compres_banner.gif" alt="Join the DJ Associates Disc Jockey Association" border="0" width="468" height="60"></a> Link to post Share on other sites
