The Way Forward In Soul Clubs

[Guest Byrney]

That's a very strong argument - and having seen regular returnees to the clubs in question - believable, though I think promoters of those events should perhaps indicate that approach when advertising where it goes significantly against the norm (eg. here). Some of us would go along anyway out of curiosity, and return (as I have) due to them often being Byrney's 'cracking alternative'.

Perhaps my interpretation of the 'norm' is too proscriptive or a minority opinion though, I don't know.

Brixton was different from the norm but mainly for one reason - it was a mix of punters (which worked for me) but the Djs, OVO policy, style of Djing and general feel was pure Northern. How would you advertise this other than the music policy and Dj line up?

[Guest Byrney]

agree and great value with a bit of internet searching.

got a nordi, telemark II and oban myself.

The Uk distributor live about 15 miles from me but I haven't managed to get in there yet.

Got a Greenland Parker and a CP-ish style jacket by em. Also just picked up 2 jackets off t'internet in a similar style: Clerk & Teller / Berghaus collaborations - 75% off.

Might start a thread in Freebasing to discuss clobber.

Sorry off topic; won't do it again guv

there's a label starting up that is resurrecting some old osti designs. Saw a few pics of that not to long ago and prices were very reasonable.

yes a clobber thread would be good....

I dont think I am missing the point and Im far from narrow minded, BUT when I go to a NORTHERN SOUL all-nighter then I expect NORTHERN SOUL not funk, ska, acid, etc etc. When I got to Burnley I expect uptempo 60s/unknowns and even latin or Middleton now Maximes I expect to be going from room to room for the R & B etc but in the main room I expect NORTHRN SOUL and thats what I get. Now I have always loved Crewe and the last one a few weeks ago had 2 rooms with Modern etc etc upstairs and oldies downstairs. I spent 90% of the night in the oldies room and danced my nuts off. If it had been 1 room and ska and funk had been also played I would have never have gone again. It should never ever be mixed on the same dancefloor EVER.

I was talkin about the angle that Stevie seems to be coming from, rather than any particular venue. Which is what people appeared to think he was on about. If that comes out right?
