Lifeline June 30th Allnighter Cancelled

Lifeline June 30th Allnighter Cancelled magazine cover

I'm sorry to say but this night has been cancelled. There is an abundance of major soul events on during June and in our opinion the scene cannot sustain the amount of events being promoted so Lifeline has decided with missing April we will take an extended break and miss June as well.

We will return in August.

It is absolutely crazy the current situation, how long it can carry on we don't know.

There is Cleethorpes this month which has been going for nearly 20 years (a weekend I wouldn't miss). Manchester decided last year to put on a weekend and are doing the same again. Besides this there is Bridlington.

There is also an extended Bank Holiday with added nighters and dayers, your regular all-nighters and your usual monthly events. It all adds up to much IMO, not enough punters to go round, many who are feeling the pinch with the recession as it is.

I'm not sure how much money promoters think ordinary people have but the situation is getting ridiculous.

As I said rest assured Lifeline will be back in August. One guest is finalised, another to be confirmed. As soon as all is confirmed i will post details.

HI CHALKY,

Thats a shame but understandable given the circumstances. Not an all nighter person myself but i know Lifeline has been going some time and for this to be cancelled due to the plethora of other one of nights/dayers and "jubilee" events just stinks. The likes of Cleethorpes and Brid have now been established for some time but i agree the add hoc nights put on by wannabee promotors who could not care less about established nights needs to be addressed in some way.

Good luck with your next Lifeline, although i am sure you wont need it!!!!!!!!!

regards ROY

HI CHALKY & HI TO ALL THOSE BROTHERS & SISTERS, WHO ATTENDED THE LAST LIFELINE ALL-NIGHTER, THANKS FOR SUCH A GREAT NIGHT,

The LIFELINE EVENT was the best night out for years, and I was realy looking foreward to this event. The descision not to go ahead or as you stated being cancelled, is understandable if those who promote other events understand your logic? Doubt it very much.

They have failed to understand the real fraternal spirit that you make this gesture, it is quite clear to me, such an admorable attitude, goes one way only their way? As a indervidual I have attended All-Nighters from 1969 or as I like to say, From the WHEEL to KEELE. Before moveing to Wolves 32 years ago, I would travel 300 miles at a weekend to be at the best All-Nighters, and I can state that this is up with the best, so I hope that the gesture made is in the interest of it's patrons, and future nights go ahead,

Personally I think it is a bad move, but by doing this I hope the message get's through to to all, that the MIDLANDS can run and atract a top quality ALL-NIGHTER, I HOPE THE NEXT NIGHT IS A SELL OUT, and history does not repeat it self.

RIGHT ON KEEP THE FAITH

I really am not being antagonistic but your event has a good reputation so why not put it on, you get your followers and surely the other events that you're bemoaning will suffer not you?

I've no wish to get involved in any politics but we simply felt with the current economical climate and with the summer months in general being a little slower for all-nighters that we would take a summer break and return in August. Most will probably choose the weekenders for their entertainment and they are not cheap.

As I said WE WILL BE BACK IN AUGUST. Hopefully the guest DJ's will be confirmed this week and I will post the details as soon as they are.

See you in Cleethorpes if you are going.

august is probably even tougher than june IMO thats when most go away for summer holiday. School holidays etc etc.

anyway sorry to hear this i'm sure the next one will be as good as ever and well attended after the extended break.

All I can say is we have never really suffered in August to be honest.

the soul scene is full of old farts whose kids are probably not at school anymore so they don't have to pay through the nose for expensive summer holidays in august :lol:

:hatsoff2: HI CHALKY

Thanks for the reply, and I fully understand were you are coming from, and I for one hold yourself as a great ambassador for the RARE SOUL SCENE, and have benefited from your generous understanding of the meaning of SOULFULNES, and it is because of this I made my comments about the event being cancelled,

Politics is not your BAG that's cool, but it would be a good thing if the Promoters of the events, that are still being run on that night, show some respect by acknowledging your actions, Also a few top DJs offering their services to ensure the event is packed out,

As we all no UNITY is STRENGTH, I really hope that this event in 1 years time will be as popular as the 100 CLUB, It has every thing in place to get there?

CHALKY YOU ARE A GOOD MAN, SO KEEP ON KEEPING ON :) DAVE K
