THE END OF AN ERA
What is happening to our soul scene? I have never been to the Wilton and more is the pity. What the Wilton stands for in my humble opinion is what the soul scene was is and was always about. Listening and travelling to hear new music. Whether it be from the present day to going way back. I know that times are difficult cost of living etc, but venues of this magnitude should never be allowed to die. That is what is happening to the Wilton. Dave and Mouse have valiantly kept this running despite being out of pocket and not by just a small amount often running into hundreds of pounds. That could not be continued. Where are the regulars to this venue?. You know what will happen the ones that abandoned it will be the first to run kicking and screaming shouting WHY DID IT HAVE TO END. Dave, Val and Mouse along with others deserve a medal for carrying on despite all the setbacks such is there commitment to the music, always gracing the nights with the cream of DJs for our enjoyment. I know for a fact what it takes to run nights and it ain't no easy task, far from it. This is not only happening to the Wilton it is happening to venues such as Lifeline etc, Nights that bring all the people together and celebrate soul music at its very best. So the solution lies with you the punter and lovers of the music. GET ALONG TONIGHT AND SUPPORT THE WILTON.
