=======================
i take my hat off to all promoters
ive done soul nights for over 20 years large and small and its a pain in the ass
and many times a thankless task
but in lots of ways it s rewarding not just if you make a bob or two but for me personally having people come and pay to come to your venue and dance to your records
ive always paid dj's who have spun for me ,even if its only petrol money..
putting a soul nite on these days is so risky because of the amount of guys wanting to there bit for whatever reasons,clashing is almost inevitable so you run the risk of reduced numbers if discussion is not entered into with rival promoters..
getting established is the key thing and once youve done that youre lauging but it takes alot of work and time to get it up and running and then to keep doing it and its so easy to criticize the likes of Kev Roberts and new century but they are akin to getting it right and deserve all the success they get as do the one s that run the supporting venues week in week out
