Seen a young lad dancing at groves or rooms Sutton

Think he was one of the organisers kids?

Don't go there

Got a few hours for a read ....

My reply in the above thread (with a couple of alterations), ok that was mainly about niters but..

I hear what you're saying and in a way I can imagine it's nice trying to introduce your kids into Dad's music and night life, there's far worse things for kids to do or get in to. Personally don't mind seeing well behaved young 'uns at local friendly soul nights but would get annoyed with kids, and I mean kids under 10 running around all over the place, in peoples way, running in and out the bogs and mum & dad not seeming to give a fook about what the kids are up to or how much they're annoying others. Nighters, then for me it's a no no.

Having said the above about youngsters at local soul nights there is the other side of the coin. How would you feel if your 9 or 12 year old just happened to be near a group of blokes (and/or lasses) recalling the old days " I was fucking smashed mate, green & clears, bombers, we rolled a bloke, kicked the shit outta him and nicked the c-nt's motor, screwed a fookin' chemists in Uttoxeter blah, blah, blah". As a responsible parent you wouldn't be too chuffed about it, would you? However why should those same blokes have to huddle in a corner out of earshot at what in effect is an adult night, quite free and easy but have to be mindful of little ears listening.

I'd feel the same as if I'd overheard that conversation and there were no kids present - what a bunch of w*nkers.

As for the kids thing, if it's an adult venue (eg. club, bar etc.) then I wouldn't expect them to be present. If it were a releaxed all dayer in a pub garden then I don't see why not, providing they behaved, not much in the way of soulful youth clubs now I'm guessing?

Obviously mate that's just an example, it could be less than that but similar kinda things said are a fact.

Surprised you've never heard folks talking about gear, car thievery and other naughty goings on.

The thing is you've got the choice of deciding they're w*nkers, telling 'em they're w*nkers, moving to the other side of the room or leaving alltogether. Apart from moving to the other side of the room kids don't have that choice.

Take Them To Macdonald,s.

Many moons ago, I rang Sylvia Croasdell and asked if she thought it was a good idea to bring my kids (My 1^st litter) to Cleethorpes, she politely said "No, I think it best they stay at home really" I took her advice and didn't think too much about it......Until after I'd been to Cleethorpes.....Nuff said! Lol

Pretty sure you would be ok to take them very early doors at an All-dayer though; I always take my two kids (2^nd litter) to the first couple of hours at The Wellingborough All-dayer as its spitting distance from my house.

I personally wouldn't take them to an evening event as I think it would be irritating to other people...In saying that I used to hate kids in Restaurants until I had em!

All the best,

Len.

I was more thinking of "friendly" venues i.e. working mens clubs etc. with laid back nites like they had at Woodseats , but maybe I'm making the mistake of putting friendly and soul source in the same sentence.

I wouldn't take them to a niter or full blown soul night anyway and after reading the other thread I'm sure they would get burnt at the stake!

Oh well , sorry for asking , have a nice day

all the venues i attend are "friendly" however , i dont want other peoples kids there, its a adult environment, you could always do what i did, if i couldnt get a baby sitter i didnt go out, thats the sacrifices that most responsible parents make, regards your comment of making the mistake of putting soul source and friendly in the same sentence, its a discussion forum, you asked a question and i gave my opinion, thats how it works

Whilst not in the Sheffield or Chesterfield area, one of my mates bought his little daughter to the Stute in Melton Mobray, she wasn't any sort of problem, and looked like she was enjoying herself. Yes the northern scene is an adult environment, but I'd like to think most of us can allow for the odd kid, we're pretty much big kids anyway

Of course it`s wrong-kids shouldn`t have mobile phones!

Do they have to be 'original' children?

No second issues.

That would narrow it down a bit.....

Doh! As stated above, these are my '2nd litter' so, god they're not the originals! ....In my defence, it didn't say 'O.C.O' (Original Children Only) on the flyer......

.....and I thought I was purest....Gutted....

There was a guy at Boogaloo Soul the other week with two children, both dancing with him and enjoying the music - didnt bother me (I thought it was quite nice that they where happy to join in with thier Dad's hobby, rather than look at a load of negative's) and didnt seem to bother anyone else in there either.

Dave

They were there last time I went to Boogaloo last summer - all dressed in purple Harringtons and sta press - had no problem with it and made me smile. Took my own daughter there too - mind you she is 21.

On a serious note, personally, I wouldn't want kids at an event I attended (No offence like) - It's bad enough dealing with all you Muppets! lol

All the best,

Len

This view may seem miserable to some of you but even at me and Nina's wedding we had a rule - No kids.....That didn't cause us any family problems at all! ...
