Maybe this depends on what people call the North and South.. For many up North its below Watford i guess but Rugby would be South for many of them real ooooooooop North folk.. Even the 100 club is helped by Northern folk who moved down South/ London at some point.. Does it matter if the South aint got so many niters??? enough good soul nights and how many folk would stay to the end anyway.. As Toby says, a 4am seems pretty good but a later licence could be sorted if folk want it.. On the whole we have people getting long in the tooth and 4am is late enough i guess.. No point starting a topic about North V South and then talking about a scooter rally event really.. I can't comment as i stopped going late 80s to these events, it was soul first and scooters second and i did not like how the dancefloor was swamped with beer, blood, spit and dead bodies at times , plus the music on offer was not what i wanted... There is a North/ North divide with regards to the oldies scene and the more forward thinking night too... We will see a dramatic change with regards to the niter scene in the not too distant future, many folk who aint spring chickens will not be able to sustain a whole night and some good younger crowd have come through but not in enough numbers to keep the scene as big as it is now... There will always be a underground soul scene and for that i am happy, don't care too much if its 40 people in a bar or 300 in an all niter, as long as we get our fix of soul.. Different game for the big promoters though,they will be chasing the ever dwindling crowd... It will be a brave person to risk cash up front and hope to make a return on there money..

A little bit more too it than that... Some djs just have that extra special something at times, its a thing you can't always put into words... You can give the same paint to ten people but you will not get the Picasso from all.. How many times have i heard the same record played by different djs, sometimes it can sound fantastic in a thought out set and other times it can be like a wet fart in a lift...
