Leave your posts up Ken.
I think maybe every other month and members only.
I've heard folk (mostly in the north) moan about the 100 Club dance floor, I could never really understand that because I thought it was okay. that's just one small point.
We can't turn the clocks back, the 1.30 till 8 era was a super special time for me and lots of others. Those hours leant themselves a bit better to nighter goers. Anyway as said can't turn the clocks back.
This thing with the folks off the street, well I can see that they would be needed with the overheads, but in a way it's robbing Pete to pay Paul. Soulies are fickle and pissed idiots on the dance floor can be cause for 'wont go there again'. I know there's been talk that some of these new faces enjoyed themselves and good luck to them. I don't agree that these people can be talked about as 'new blood' though, I find that a bit of an insult. Oxford St is one of the busiest in the metropolis and these people are opportunist late drinkers, I don't think many of them would mark it in their calendar for a return visit.
Bi-monthly and members only. Sort of a re-launch with some decent publicity and I'm sure soul folk would support en masse the want to keep the longest running nighter going.
