Fly(Er) Tipping

[Agentsmith]

bit of an ironic title as it refers to dumping stuff with no right to. promoters have overheads,...one of which is flyers, an integral part of the scene for many years now. its a method of spreading news about events. there's a good camaraderie between promoters/djs..i'll scratch your back, etc. we always see tables full of them and we get them at eye level, when they're blutacked on walls. not unusual to see this in toilets either. however they are, for no descernible reason, a target for petty jealousies...or so it would seem. LETS NOT FORGET, as i said, people are paying good money out of their own pockets to have them printed and removal and binning of such literature WITHOUT consent AT EVENTS, is downright dispicable, especially if its specific and all other product is left untouched. this IS happening so i have been informed, im not obliged to go into detail other than i am outlining this as an overview. whilst it may not be happening widescale and may only be sporadic, ITS STILL UNACCEPTABLE.

Yep we had plenty of this when middleton was running,some very odd hypocrites on this scene.Doubt it makes any difference what so ever,certainly never affected us.

Hasn't this just been covered.? Some people/promoters get along.Others don't. Lots of water has flowed under the bridge,so to speak.Event clashes,personality clashes........

OK Ok, call the dogs and search helicopters off, you've found me and I confess I DO THAT Terry, friends who are going to events take flyers for me to put out. Same as flyers come to Cream Cracker from people who dont attend.  Mr Hammond always turns up with a bag full of various flyers from all over and puts them out at my event. Not a problem with it. So if its a crime Im naming and shaming myself.

Certainly wouldnt go around throwing other peoples flyers away though, as I've been reliably informed that others do to mine, and its always the same people moaning who do it!!!!!!!

what im trying to put across here, is, to all intents and purposes,  an account of promoters flyers being removed from the actual promoters event whilst all "guest flyers" have been left alone. this has been relayed to me although i am unaware of who the perpetrators are at present...you always have to have conclusive proof before outing names and as im not the offended party, im not in the position to do that, but removing the promoters flyers from their actual venue is above cheek. if its about attempting to portray the gig as a "soul night" and not a northern soul night...in effect  a handbaggers job...the people concerned are very much mistaken. it is a very well known venue run by a very well known dj and though its just as easy to brush it off as petulence, its still about an investment being abused. at present another theme of disrepute is rearing its head...that of venues "not being on" when infact they ARE...mischief making that has the potential to lose people a large sum of money, not just the promoter, but the venue owners also. this particular venue, most of you know, i and my partner help to run as you see me post it up on here every month and everyone concerned with the venture would like to know who keeps attempting to stick the knife in. a similar type of abuse happened quite frequently at prestwich during the early millenium when the fire brigade were called to the venue on a number of occasions, halting the gig....very funny?..NOT!, and certainly not for the attendees being turfed out unceremoniously. jealousy is probably inbred with some folk who cant tolerate seeing someone or something being so successful and they're not theirselves...they certainly dont endear theirselves to anybody though, through their actions...they only have to pick on the wrong type of person though and they will get their backsides kicked good and proper...so why come to venues they dont like, to carry out this sort of act, right under the promoters nose?

why you even bothered kev ..... Unless?

Pretty much the soul scene all over this hints accusations,just grow a pair and if you know who it is ask them face to face.Its obvious your talking about lowton so why not just say it.Only a couple of weeks ago in look backs one of your regulars posted they had been told by someone at a new event in your area,your event was off why not ask em face to face.If i can work out who it is im sure kev and ginger can,never known kev to have a problem sortin this kind of stuff out.Wether or not this kind of activity effects attendences i doubt very much,to many venues is the problem.If its who i think it is and i attend all the venues round here,best of luck with the backside slapping.
