You'll both enjoy the day, honest Carms.... and no, Donny isn't that far (really)....
Yes, you're quite right.... lots of Sunday "alldayer" type venues happened.... but this isn't about them.... they were for us folk (younger back then) who didn't want the weekend to end and couldn't care sweet FA about being at work Monday.... this thread, as I understand it, is more about the "chillout" type events presently taking place.... a totally different concept and music policy to the traditional alldayer of yesteryear as described in the reply above....
Sadly though, again IMO, there are even a couple (or more) of these "traditional style" dayers popping up again now on the back of these current, successful, chillout soul sessions.... these, IMO, are purely aiming to "coin it in" for an extra day on what is already now a totally over saturated "oldies style" weekend of events....
There are, however, a few proper "chillout type" Sunday sessions taking place these days.... pick these out and experience them.... "soulfully satisfying" to say the least....
Andy.... yes there has always been events on Sundays as you say.... I know, I attended a fair few locally and afar.... but please refer back to my reply above to understand the difference as I see it these days in the type of event (to save me cutting and pasting it here)....
Overall.... in reply to Mike's original question....
"Sunday Events - A Rising Trend ?"....
I'd say a rising trend, yes, perhaps.... but deffinately a "new syle trend musically".... rather than jist being "another day to hear the same old same old" played out due to an overbearing oldies calendar....
Just an opinion, how I see it....
Soulfully.... Mark
