Jimmy A Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 (edited) The whole notts scene has gone tits up and needs a good shake. Its tired and boring IMO and as ive said before this is one of my reasons for staying away from venues. The reason im supporting the Brit is for one reason..THE MUSIC as i feel im going to hear some decent stuff,might not be everyones cuppa but im going down there to have a good time as i feel that i will. Some people on here from notts and surrounding areas should remember that alot of you used to call places like the Union,Awsworth etc.....yes you remember,,,"not going there its crap...all that rare shit.dont know any of the music " etc you are now dancing to that "Rare shit" you say "is it worth it" yes it is cos at the end of the day you are going to be doing some thing that the notts scene needs..good soul music again. If people feel threatened by what you are doing then they should change what they are doing and have a wider music policy or just sod off and let you get on with it Edited July 4, 2008 by JMYTG
Spacehopper Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 we have to work our nuts off down here in bristol to get people out to soul nites,as soon as one nite is done were plugging the next...but we dont get none of this between promoters/djs....at times i wish i was living somewhere with a bigger soul crowd but then again if this sort of thing goes on maybe not.....i'll stick to the mild mild west...as banksy put it !

good angel Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 I went to one soul night about 5years ago, when I went in I asked the lady the promoters wife, on the door do you mind if I put a few flyers out for a local nighter,any way I started to do the rounds and the next thing the promoter asked what the hell was I was doing, he was very snotty I told him it was a local nighter flyer,I said do want me go around and collect them all up again,he said dont bother now. THE MAN IS A TOTAL TW*T. My friends and me have never been back to that soul night Kev

Thinking is it all worth it ????????? Tracey n Andy................. I blame the smoking ban, l always knew politics on the scene existed, but not to the extent l thought until l had to start going outside for a clggie, now lm afraid l cant but help voice my opinion as to the slow decline of the soul scene, and l must agree l think its a case of wots already been said, and something l said to Shute (stafford rangers promoter) a few days ago, and thats there are too many cheifs and no t enough indians, l cant really say wot l want in a public forum because l think ld get hung for it, but somethings gotta give, l might PM you with my thoughts and feelings, my guess is there are 100's of us long service soulies who just think arses to it cus nobodys listening to the people that matter,,,,the punters and how about doing something to encourage the younger generations.
