Keithw Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 been offered a fantastic club but they can only let it out on a SUNDAY 2 rooms /one ideal for record sales cheap beer 2-00 a pint of bitter / dark room dancefloor ANYONE THINK IT WOULD BE A GO-ER IN CREWE say 6 till 10 fourth sunday in month would need 100 in to be a success
Jumpinjoan Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 You need to ask yourself are there 100 local people that would go. It would have to be locals as I can't see people travelling on a Sunday for a 6-10 session. Lets face it you can't get a 100 people to go to some all nighters!

Tony O Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Keith, yep I agree with Joan it would have to be 2 till 9 or 10pm to attract travellers aswell. May be it should be based on the Taste of Honey conscept timings, quality music with top Dj's. Dont think it will work with just locals ie Crown at Nantwich. Any way wot ever you decide to do I'll be there to support it.
Jez Jones Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 mmmm difficult one that Keith There does seem one or two about 'locally'. Me and Geese do one in Congleton on the first Sunday of the month, I believe there's also one started in Winsford and of course Kev does a very popular one at Queens in Basford----oh and the Wheel which you dont need telling is rammed everytime. As Joan says you're probably 'pitching' at a more local market at least initially., taking note of your times We count ourselves very lucky in that our 'Pavillion' do is supported by both locals and folks from further afield. I know Kev's sessions also attract a mixture of both. As you know a fair few from Crewe also attend the Wheel. I'm no expert on this, and this is only opinion, but perhaps a chat locally to folks to gauge demand. As has been mentioned it can sometimes be difficult to 'fill' allnighters and thats with 9-10 hours of choons. ....perhaps if numbers expected through the door wasn't a driving force in determining its success--then maybe you could persevere over a few months and see what happened
Chris Anderton Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Keith, never gonna get 100 on a Sunday in Crewe. They are all at home listening to me on www.thisisthecat.com every Sunday 17.00-19.00! Seriously, Dave and I work our tits off promoting "Dab" on a Saturday night and get between 50 and 80, mostly travellers...some of the oldies crowd will come, but if you aint playing oldies they wont come again..... I always thought some kind of Sunday night sesion might work but I always thought it would be more of a collectors event....few like minded guys in a bar, nice tunes, few beers...but never 100 people in on a Sunday. Go out there and prove me wrong mate! Chris.
dthedrug Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 HI KEITH ..I THINK IT WOULD BE EXCELLENT AS A RARE SOUL MEET-UP / FAIR A BIT LIKE JOHN PUGH DID YEARS AGO IN HEATH TOWN WOLVES, AND FITS IN WITH A WAY FOREWORD AS WE NEAR 40 YEARS SINCE UP THE JUNCTION, I HAVE PLENTY OF EVENT IDEAS, THAT I AM SURE IF PITCHED CORRECTLY WOULD ATTRACT YOUNG AS WELL AS US, YOU COULD PUT ON A 100 CLUB EVENT IN THE NORTH A BIT LIKE WHEN ADY MICK AND BUTCH DID NOW AND AGAIN AT KEELE, I RECKON IF YOU SAY IT'S GOT THE VIBES THEN IT.S WORTH A PUNT, ANY ASSISTANCE I CAN GIVE PM ME DAVE KILWORTH DtheDRUG, I AM CHEAP AS CHIPS..GOOD LUCK,
