Sex

drugs

northern soul

a bit more northern soul

And a bit more northern soul

providing my wife let’s me 😂

 

1) DJs who'll avoid the "Same Old"

2) Punters who will embrace "Underplayed" & "Under-Appreciated" Soul Music

3) Spacious Dancefloor

4) Friendly crowd.

5) Decent bar prices.

Number 4 fashion, once that becomes an issue I'm out of there. 

If the musics good and the people are good you can put up with the rest

If the music's good and the gear's good you can put up with anything ... 

Not been to a night since Covid but the criteria would be the same as then

1 Hearing plenty of tunes that are new to me, then........

2. Dancing to something I don't know, that feeling that connects heart to brain to feet and has you up within a few bars. 

3. Enquiring be it from Dj fellow punter or internet and finding a few of said tunes are in my price range, 

4 Good dancefloor

5 Meeting and having interesting conversations with people I've never previously spoken with and looking forward to seeing them at another event. No slight on the company I used to keep who I miss seeing as many were purely friends seen at an event and not in the wider world.

 

My criteria is the same as the above, mostly. I go to a fantastic rare and under played event and it's generally poorly attended! The music is mint...considering everyone seems to want to hear new stuff, why does no one attend these?? Just my thoughts, great thread, thank you...Rob

I like the underplayed and not in the mainstream and like you said generally poorly attended. It's getting really hard to find these places but they are still about .it's good to hear not the run of the mill tunes there used to be a good weekender at the trough but can't remember where it was (old age kicking in again)heard tunes I had not heard before. 

Atmosphere is key, don't mean to be oblique. But it's a combination of everything from the list, great venue half full or shit pit, rammed to the gunnels?
