An Open Letter To Kev Roberts


Mattbolton

Recommended Posts

Great letter,very constructive.He can't be offended by that but I find that unlike any other mainstream entertainment,criticism isn't acceptable on this scene,not by mercenaries anyway.When Kev Roberts wants your opinion,he'll give it to you

At the end of the day this is a dance music culture that we are in. There are dancers And there are collectors and never the twain shall meet as far as events go in big circles. I doubt in reality that Kev or Richard would have booked anybody to play nothing but ovo. Chris king can be singled out at certain events but I doubt this one. Why the web cams, why make it that obvious. Surely this is an attempt to make a huge, potentially loss make as much as a gain from some one in the business, legitimate. C'mon what's the problem. Slators slate every venue up and down the nAtion and see what response you get. If this scene is to Stay alive it needs big events like the tower nd from an ovo player i'l back it up. Is it just case of "I fancy an argument"?

Kev Roberts....gives you all what you want.......the fact that it,s packaged rather like a circus....is what you want.......why do they have em at these big victorian ballrooms?....because you all wanna relive your wigin days......it,s what you want........why worry about bootlegs being played.......just like back in the day......you don,t care,why should you........it,s what you want. Kev just gives you what you want......so stop moaning.

Don't the "heritage" deejays feel embarrassed following a "non heritage" dj with a box load of originals.I followed Ginger Taylor on a few weeks ago at The Dome...he stayed on stage chatting etc while I was pulling out tracks.I would have felt a right twat pulling out Soul Fox boots...I love Stoke btw and have only seen a dodgy copy of Jackie Edwards I Feel So Bad being played by Chris King...maybe Kev should have a matrix camera.

Only 0.01% really care, only 0.01% ever did but then it's that 0.01% that went out there, searched for it, brought it back & gave it to the people who don't give a shit what format it's on & only want to dance.

anyone who is knowledgeable about rare soul and buys or collects originals do give a shit what format its on.

there are loads of cheap originals that are as good as the thousand stuff.

from your thread it sounds like your not interested what format its on as long as you can dance ' you and your buddies have poor taste.

The biggest shock to me ,is that someone who actually seems to know a bit about the soul scene and dj's ,other venues etc ,actually

went to Blackpool weekender and did'nt know what to expect :ohmy:

Nev is right. Same discussion/argument every year. I think I started one the second year the Tower was running. The same answers were provide by Kev Roberts. I've never been since and never will. Things won't change with Goldsoul's policy and I accept it.

End of.
