I think the folk want to hear bigger well known stuff at larger venues,big dancefloor,big venue better atmosphere...Smaller places can be more cutting edge....The way forward for promoters is large events,established floorfillers in the main room with a smaller cutting edge room,quite easy really..At the end of the day though we have different promoters out there with very diiferent reasons for being in the game...The night in Derbyshire run by Mr Roberts is along the lines of the weekenders,he's got about four different rooms with something for everyone,that makes a lot of sence but i still want to be in one room with everyone but then we have people with no give and take at all..Some things will never change...We have many different animals on here,i can drink with most but some people could start a fight if they were on there own ..Never been a north/south thing for me because i travel around...We can't even divide on beer anymore,most drink lager.....At the end of the day you can't start talking about the north south divide without going to all the venues and seeing what they play...That aint possible now because we can have about 20 on the same weekend.... Sorry rant over and i hope i did not stray too far off topic...
