Well Andy Dyson, Maria Willingham, Tats Taylor ,, Soul Sam were Truly AWESOME in the Windsor Suite from 1am onwards,,and was exactly like the music policy at Lifeline,,, and i was there the week before too!!
,,,, all the venues above Rugby ,Burnly, Lifeline, Radcliffe , Bidds , 100 club All Fantastic Venues who pull their own type of support,,, no matter how many times the warriors on here try to rubbish it ,, the Kings hall will carry on!
I personally find it amusing some the comments " its only No1 because of the number of people who attend" well why dont all the venues above pull crowds like that then if Kings Hall is so bad!
The answer is theres NOT enough interest anymore in the REAL Rare Soul Nights,,, sure theres a 2 or three hundred Rare Soulies who DO attend the nights but never in any great quantity,,, it always seems to me the REAL interest is now in Europe for Rare Soul niters !!
So to me the Kings Hall is a one off theres nothing like it,,, perhaps calling it Worlds No 1 is what gets up the purists noses,,, but its has never tried to be like the above mentiond venues, really has it!!
In years to come Stoke Kings Hall will be remembered and written about ,,, i wonder if any of the others will be ?????
