Guest gordon russell Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 We have all seen lookbacks where people have described a night as "Across the board,something for everyone". What does it mean?.....does it mean each dj plays 2 or 3 tunes that do it for YOU? and the rest of their sets are just not happening......so are you only getting 10% of your night? Or does it mean one dj,s spot did it for you and the rest of em,s spot did not.....so are you still only getting 10% of your night. My thought.....if there's only something for you and not the whole night.............then there's somethng wrong or are we only mean,t to enjoy a little bit of the night? as it would seem. atb Dave
ImberBoy Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Doesn't "Across the board, something for everyone". Mean "CD's played here"?
Steve G Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 We have all seen lookbacks where people have described a night as "something for everyone". What does it mean?..... Always thought "something for everyone" meant if you pitched up you'd get a free dodgy CD, or "soul patch" for your holdall, or even free food. Surely that's what it means?

The Spanish Inquistion of soul nights.
Chalky Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Too often it means one of the DJ's plays Angie Stone - Wish I Didn't Miss You, Drizabone and the rest of the night is oldies. I've challenged one or two so called ATB promoters who I now didn't play northern to the present day to post playlists so we could see for ourselves. Needless to say they never posted any. If they claim to play across the board it should be northern to the present day....
Rugby Soul Club Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 It's another way of saying, trying to please all the people, half of the time... bloody impossible even with two rooms...
ImberBoy Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Does it mean ................ If you turn up you will be led down some stairs and oiled up by three Turkish mud wrestlers with lisps, forced then to undress hurriedly and place on some sort of wet suit that is never ever going to cut the mustard if you ever swam in it, then ordered to eat three small melons and then told to dance for some Arab rich boy over her studying modern history and physics, then a quick shower and back to his place for open sandwiches and crisps, Coz that's what happened to me when I went to The 100 Club and what will happen to you if you fall for the "Across the board,something for everyone". Scam!

If they claim to play across the board it should be northern to the present day.... Yup agree with the sentiment of this. Though Angie Stone etc viewed as "oldies" amongst the modern crowd.... and as for Drizabone it's fooking ancient The acid test for me when doing one of these ATB nights is do they have CD players? If not, it's not ATB. Simple. As I am sure Imber knows most of the best new releases ain't on vinyl. (in fact many of them ain't even on CD either). Edited April 12, 2010 by Steve G
Guest Matt Male Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I think the term 'across the board' seems to have died a death. Every time i went to an across the board night, as Chalky said it was always oldies. There are only two kinds of event to my mind, good ones and bad ones
Davetay Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Yup agree with the sentiment of this. Though Angie Stone etc viewed as "oldies" amongst the modern crowd.... and as for Drizabone it's fooking ancient The acid test for me when doing one of these ATB nights is do they have CD players? If not, it's not ATB. Simple. As I am sure Imber knows most of the best new releases ain't on vinyl. (in fact many of them ain't even on CD either). Yes download only, keeping down the costs.

Steve G Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Yes download only, keeping down the costs. Heard reports that at a recent local do a well known northern oldies DJ turned up and played his set of popular oldies off of a laptop. Across the KEYboard there!
Steve G Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 BTW Steve what type of set have you got planned for this coming Sat. at Preston? Dave. Some new stuff and some good 80s/90s/00s. No northern for Preston
Davetay Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Heard reports that at a recent local do a well known northern oldies DJ turned up and played his set of popular oldies off of a laptop. Across the KEYboard there! Name and Shame. But than again why am I not surpriced.

Guest gordon russell Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Sorry folks...........not really getting a sensible answer....must be me!.......what l mean is .....we read it all the time in the lookbacks section....people commenting on nights/nighters saying that "the dj,s played something for everyone,a bit of everything......music down the MIDDLE.......but is this really "jack of all trades,master of none".....or "something for everyone" translates to trying to please everyone and suceeding in pleasing.....NO ONE.......Because everywhere we go that seems to be the view....dave
Rugby Soul Club Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 translates to trying to please everyone and suceeding in pleasing.....NO ONE.......Because everywhere we go that seems to be the view....dave I thought that was what I said... I'm usually pleased wherever I go coz I make the most of getting out and being alive, or maybe I'm too easily pleased... Only 2 genres for me... I like it, I don't like it and the later I use to rest from the first...
Chalky Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Yup agree with the sentiment of this. Though Angie Stone etc viewed as "oldies" amongst the modern crowd.... and as for Drizabone it's fooking ancient yes but these are modern to the oldies crowd, hence across the board, I'd love one of these across the board nights to book Robin and let him play what he played at Stafford t'other week, see how across the board they are then.....but then again that set could/should be now classed as oldies
Kevinkent Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Sorry folks...........not really getting a sensible answer....must be me!.......what l mean is .....we read it all the time in the lookbacks section....people commenting on nights/nighters saying that "the dj,s played something for everyone,a bit of everything......music down the MIDDLE.......but is this really "jack of all trades,master of none".....or "something for everyone" translates to trying to please everyone and suceeding in pleasing.....NO ONE.......Because everywhere we go that seems to be the view....dave I think you've answered your own question - and very well too. Usually put up by lack-lustre promoters who are just trying to attract anyone through the doors in order to boost the coffers. Lack of vinyl and unwillingness to put on decent dj's just adds to the monotony. Personally I like the expression as it tells me where to avoid.
Rob Wigley Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 yes but these are modern to the oldies crowd, hence across the board, I'd love one of these across the board nights to book Robin and let him play what he played at Stafford t'other week, see how across the board they are then.....but then again that set could/should be now classed as oldies Yes Chalky a solid Modern Oldies spot from Robin-so are the old Modern oldies newies because they are new to some people who didn't hear them when they were new ? or is everything old when it becomes released? what about new 60s ? or old 70s ? If its good play it-and if you yearn for something different search out those places! Rob
Guest Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Only 2 genres for me... I like it, I don't like it and the later I use to rest from the first... as long as its soul I lurv 60's.......... but then a lot of 70's does it for me also - and some of the stuff i hear from the 80' 90' 00's does it for me as well Jonny Herbert from the groovejunkies played a full set of what i suppose would be termed as 'modern' at an event I was at (i didnt know most of em) and in my opinion he played the best set of the night - i was on the dancefloor throughout his set. but... other dj's on that night played a mix of allsorts of eras and i thoroughly enjoyed that also 2 genres of soul for me i like it, i don't like and the later i use to rest from the first
Ian Parker Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 (edited) Darcyboy asked a sensible question and as usual the 'oldies v everything else' ' brigade have spoken. Those in doubt, get along to Bestwood, that is certainly across the board. It was'nt 99% oldies, in fact it was'nt even 60% oldies. it was a damned good mix of rare 60's, underplayed 60's, lots of 70's, a few classics and some very modern stuff. so yes, it was certainly 'ACROSS THE BOARD' Edited April 12, 2010 by parkash
Margo Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 hi dave, i think promotors should stick to one thing or t'other. i don't think atb nights/nighters work personally the tunes are all over the place, uptempo then midtempo followed by a bit of disco [modern] theres no real flow going on. places that seem to do ok are the ones that stick to one thing [stoke uptempo oldies, thorne crossover,modern, bidds r'n'b ] etc, etc.... then people know what to expect and will go the do's that are playing their kind of tunes. well thats my take on it anyway jeri

Yes without doubt Bestwood is a superb example of ''Across the board'' events , but a gain you don't have to travel to Bestwood for them l, they are all over the country. Anyway my idea of something for everybody means a well stocked bar

More often than not nothing past the 70's except Drizabone, Angie Stone etc are played and they are more northern in there appeal than modern. You rarely see a modern DJ at one of these Across the board venues for some strange reason

In fact the best spot for me would every type of music, mixed into the whole hour, I'm easily bored if more than 3 of one type of record gets played one after the other but then that's probably why I wouldn't make a DJ...

Steve G Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Who would you class as a modern DJ (in the east midlands area) Fish, Mark Randle, Colin Brown for starters. Three top modern DJs in the East Mids

Ian Parker Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Is that where the oldies brigade all stand to one side of the room and growl at anyone dancing to owt other than oldies, Been there, thought it was hilerious only 4 miles from where I live as well which was why the last time it was on I was at Stafford. KTF TTFN John now now John, the time we went, it was a good night all round, enjoyed it
Guest Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 You Barry , not bad for a modern oldie LoL Hi again Tony, no the question really was for Chalky, because in the last couple of months we have had SteveJ and Andy "Tats" Taylor on as guest at New Pilsley, and we are trying to operate ATB venue, which is not easy in these parts. Still interested in a spot? Barry Ps you refering to my age

Still interested in a spot? Barry Ps you refering to my age Don't really know SteveJ, but Tats is quality, one of my mentors when I was a nipper Steve G answered the question for you really, but why are you limited to DJ's from the Midlands? what is it with the Midlands and sticking only to Midlands DJ's? There are plenty not too far away. Sean Hampsey, Bully, two from just up the road in my old town who can do quality soul music from all eras.
julia123 Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Well all I can say is.....that I had a great time as always, at the venue & after. Yes numbers were down, but as for the music, a good and varied selection all night. A BIG UP MUST GO TO MRS SOUL......

All were played 25 years ago so considered oldies as such but I dare bet plenty of it would be considered too modern for many of the across the board promoters

Back to this thread at ATB venue in this area dammed if you play something new and dammed if you don't Barry

KTF TTFN John Who were the guest DJ's on this particular night? Just curious Growling oldies brigade ? Can't remember reading anything about growling oldies brigade standing on the sidelines in any Lookbacks :whistling:The growling would be the bar staff (one or two of them anyway) Those standing to one side growling would have just been served and are growling back at the bar staff, it's how we communicate in Bestwood No two Bestwoods are ever the same, all depends on the guest DJ, ...next time @ Bestwood ...Ted Massey...and Spiv....Ted can play all night long for all I care Like Debbie said earlier, it's not an oldies night, might vere more towards oldies if the guest DJ is known for oldies, if guest DJ's are known for modern, then the night veres more towards modern...simples....
Guest Mrs Simsy Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I think the term 'across the board' seems to have died a death.

I've never really known what across the board truly meant because as someone has already said, when i've been to a do thats said its atb its been oldies & a bit o' modern. Saying that i'm a 60's girl primarily & although i'm starting to listen to a it more 70's (it's being drip fed slowly!) i just can't get into 80's-Y2K stuff & wouldn't go to a do thats advertising thats what its playing...i probably wouldn't attend a do that said atb either though!
Steve G Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Back to this thread at ATB venue in this area dammed if you play something new and dammed if you don't Barry Same everywhere it seems Barry. You simply cannot please everyone because the scene and what constitutes soul / northern / modern is now so varied. Events write ups full of people bigging up their mates sets too. When did it all become so complicated? As others have said there is good music and bad music in all types / styles.
Guest gordon russell Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 shouldn,t of asked such a daft question...............seems to me everywhere is across the board wether they'll admit it or not/like it or not.........dj,s not singing from the same song sheet..........thats why it,s hard to get consistency nay impossible.....one minute it,s up the next it,s down,this way then that way. like l said oldies venues that are known as such have no identity problems therefore they have great nights......same for the modern venues..........the rest.... need to get sorted methinks
barney Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Same everywhere it seems Barry.

When did it all become so complicated? As others have said there is good music and bad music in all types / styles. it aint a bit complicated at all,people who go to events usually know what kind of music to expect, most people choose the genre or make up of the music played they like. and go to events/venues where they can here this. simples as to lookbacks , its not the done thing on here to be open about a write up and the maxim seems to be if you cant say anything nice then dont bother posting

But who would write the revues coz we all like something different and no one can say who is right...
phillyDaveG Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Since the music night I co-run is called "All Things Soulful", then I suppose this is one thread that I really should post a reply to. We run what could be termed an across the board night. 5 hours or so, once a month on a Saturday of tunes from the 6ts to new releases. The philosophy being that a lot of people either like soul from all eras, or are open minded enough to listen to them and then decide. Other attendees prefer their Northern/Modern/New tunes or whatever, and by mixing it up, they know that they don't have to wait long before hearing something that floats their boat. If you want a whole night of one particular genre, and hate others, then this isn't the gig for you, but then the title sort of tells you what to expect. Does it work? Well, we've been paid well to do it for over 5 years at the same venue, so we must be doing something right.
