Poll: Events - Are you going to an event...?

[Mike]

With possible upcoming changes in the real world coming into play

What's the members take on attending soul music related events in the near future

1. As soon as possible/already have

2. Wait and see what happens

3. No plans/wishes

I would have been at the 100 Club on Saturday had it not been cancelled. I will be there in August and that will be my first event post lockdown.

No doubt there are events before then, but presumably they will run on reduced numbers. I have no intention of attending any if there's a possibility of depriving a regular of entry. The first events will be about getting back the familiarity and meeting up with old mates as much as they are about the music, and that's the way it should be.

Personally going to wait and see what happens, no immediate plans to go anywhere - still just wanting to catch up with family and friends as a priority at the moment

[Mike]

any more takes/views?

[Winsford Soul]

I will be attending the Kings Hall in Stoke on the 24th as its the  first available nighter. Not been for about 15 years but heard good things about the 2nd room . Mixture of Rare, crossover and modern  will do for me. Then it's just see what's on 

[Chalky]

My first planned night out is the Boat nighter at the end of August.  I will just wait and see what happens, let things settle down.

[Mustang]

I will be at the Kings Hall in Stoke on the 24th,would of been at Bridlington,

going up to Aberdeen too,end of August.

Had both vaccines so i will be attending venues as per normal.

I have to go to work normally,so i will be living my social life normally too.

 

If they can allow 60,000 plus into Wembley on Sunday for England v Italy,

then open the doors for our dancing again,Covid 19 is here to stay,so we

we learn to live with it,Flu and Covid jabs every year are the new normal now.

 

Open it up,sooner the better.

[ste gal 7]

get out while you can its not a practice run thats my thoughts, respect to everyone else though do what you feel best for you.

[Stephen Houghton]

Richmond at skegness October a year and a half cancelled, so hopefully this time 

[Mssoulie]

As Ste gal has said it's not a practice run so each to there own. 

And as the tattoo on my arm says.

ONLY CAME TO DANCE.

Hugh.

[Soulman58]

Nope, not changing the habit of the last 19 years.

[Vadnochka]

Back on the horse on Fri Aug 13th - Thringstone - lots of new 7" shiny things since last outing before lock down - life's got to go on.

Hope the regulars and newbies give us a go 

Frostie snr.

 

[Fish Fingers]

Will be getting out to the first local night that suits my taste (modern / jazz funk / soulful house) that we can attend. 

Mrs has just had 2nd jab - so couple of weeks and good to go.

Just need to find the right night, as v thin on the ground compared to Northern nights. 

[Mike]

interesting results

its looking like a 50/50 spilt between going and waiting/not going

will close shortly so last chance for sharing views/takes

[John Hart]

The view from Europe on events . As expats we did 3 weekenders a year , February ,September and October. The situation is still very uncertain , Can we dance ,venue capacity, closing times ,masks ,restriction on booze ,testing ,isolation! It must be hell for promoters {we drive } asking Brits to arrange flights, ,hotel bookings, facing such hassle and hope for the numbers to make all their hard work worthwhile.   We are longing for venues to return but still call me 50/50,undecided Spain!

[Rick Scott]

Ecky Thump it's grim up north and else where got nowt going for it either by looks of things

Take care out there every one   

[Leicester Boy]

At torquay all weekend.  Absolutely great , masks in the hotel but outside area for dancing,superb music happy people.  People laughing and enjoying life.
