What I don't get, perhaps I am being a bit dim here but what's the problem????
I personally find the Casino Cafe thing Tacky, I would pay NOT to have a photo of RW but if it floats some peoples boat what's the problem, it doesn't have any effect on my life and the venues I attend or the music I listen to.
Most of the people who buy into this sort of thing will never be seen at the soul nights most of us attend and we won't have to rub shoulders with them, god forbid but if it makes them happy and brings back a few memories of their one off trip to wigan back in the 70s or nights at their local youth club then what's it got to do with any of us, just leave them be to get on with it.
The "scene" does not belong to "us" and each of us are only a small part of something far bigger than any DJ/Venue etc. We do not have a god given right to dictate what people do where they go and what music they listen to, we all have our own preferred venues, genre's etc and have no right to berate other peoples memories of what they misguidedly think the NS scene was or is now.
I personally don't like "disco" (modern) and have a joke with people I know that like it but I don't moan all the way through a DJs set if it is being played at venue I am at, and on more than one ocassion been spotted even dancing to it .
I am not a great fan of played out oldies, but I have friends who are and occassionally go out with them but what I don't do is spend all night moaning about there taste in music etc.
I wish some of you would stop playing the "Soul Police" moral high ground and just leave people to do their own thing and you all get on with yours
I don't think "Soul Nostalgia" has yet been classified as a contageuos disease so you can be sure if you accidently bump into one of these people it won't infect you or kill off today's scene, its far too big and ugly at times, for that to happen
