The following scenario..... :thumbsup:

Promoters one and two promote a venue on the same night, one an all-nighter and the other a soul night.

Promoter one threatens to "bury" promoter two for having the audacity to promote on the same night. Promoter two is HIGHLY respected throughout the soul world and has been for many years :angry:

To muddy the waters a tad more, promoter one and promoter two both book the same highly respected DJ of many years standing. DJ says, wishing to upset no one and ensure everyone is happy,no problem, will do one and travel to the other after his set. Promoter one not happy :rolleyes: threatens to finish said DJ :angry:

Personally I don't know what the scene is coming to, some promoters just not happy with what they have and want it all and will do what it takes to achieve this. IMHO there's no place for this kind of behaviour. Don''t know what fellow soul sourcerers thoughts are :thumbsup:

Promoter one sounds like a right Charlie Big Potatoes if he thinks he can finish a dj's career and put another promoter out of business. What a shame we don't know who it is :D because he makes Kev Roberts seem like a pussycat.

I and others would be interested to see who these people are..If these are facts then let us all know...Like i have always said " these people need to know that good folk will not stand for all the backstabbing bollocks..I like to know what kind of person i am dealing with and would stay well clear of these people..We should not let these people dictate to us,ever...

Chalks,

these stories always interest me, but they always seem to be soooooo hypothetical? Is promoter 1 so big that he/she can't be named and if the DJ is well known, would his/her career as a DJ really be threatened?

Cos you haven't named and shamed it would appear that promoter 1 really is that powerful??

Is it about the money at the end of the day as i would rather go to a promotion where the real focus was on the music and not the power and profit.

NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME :thumbsup:

Chalky, having people associated with the scene with such attitudes is unhealthy and therefore, for the good of those that may be affected by such actions, promoter number one should be named and punters can then vote with their feet, if they feel inclined to do so.

The fact that this is not new shows how little we have progressed in this regard, as farr as venues are concrned,the scene is about the music and the inter action between the DJ's and the punters, not the over inflated egos of certain promoters."Publish the truth and damn the consequences!", if thats the qoute, such be the situation here.

If it's fact and not hear say Chalky... then why doesn't the said 'highly respected DJ of many years standing' just come on and name who it is.

Too much 'he said' and 'she said' on the scene.... no one can hide from the truth... so come on out and say it .. thats what i think anyway. :thumbsup:

I have my thoughts as to who you are referring to... not from anything i've heard... just from looking in 'events'.

BUT i could be wrong... so i think it's only fair to promoters of other unconnected venues that the name of said promoter be known.. if only to stop rumour and wrong guessing.

Hello Chalky,

Some dictators think they control "the scene" in certain areas (or all areas) of the country. It's an insecurity thing.

Just do what you believe is the right thing and don't let anyone push you around ...or I'll make sure that you never work in this town again!

:thumbsup:

had enough of this shite in 2006, felt like was living in a johnny vegas sit com at times

if its wrong or misunderstanding then give them a chance to clear it up

if its true then all are aware

Agree with you Mike. This sort of stuff just gets boring, all these posts about backstabbing, rumour spreading, saying other events are cancelled, etc., :thumbsup:

everyone knows who you are talking about, you ought to put up or shut up otherwise it's pointless making the post.

Might be an idea to mention when this hypothetical soul night finishes

in reference to the allnight event and if promoter one didnt want his resident dj to double up for that reason

and if promoter two then rang promoter one on the subject

Hypothetically of course i'm going to both :D

See you at both

Well I would go to both, but nobody will tell me who they are, so by default I'm boycotting the piggin pair of 'em.

Promotor 2 here.

Keep this simple, rang Sam gave him dates for Soul shakers @ Solihull. He said, that clashed with Middleton, I said fine we will have to do without you on this date. He said he could do an early set before Middleton, I said you sure, he said yes. So we agreed on 10-11pm. I have also rung Ady McCabe and promised him that we will get him out the door at 11, so that he has a good 3 hours to get there and not rush. We are really looking forward to Sam's set with us, as last time he did a blinder, pulling alot of things he doesn't always play elsewhere.

We are aware that many people going to Middleton are also looking forward to hearing Sam play, and feel we have a responsibilty to make sure he gets there in time and fresh to do a blinder there as well.
