    there was on up for offers last week in sales. Dunno whether multicoloured or white and red.
  2. Chalky
    I know some have work, kids and other stuff but if you only had one choice every week, either a Saturday or a Sunday what would it be????
  3. Chalky
    you've not been looking hard enough Mark, been a couple on SS alone the last year or so.

    250 views and only 30 odd votes, not many nighter folk on here
  5. Chalky
    mp3 anyone?

    with you both on the quality of a venue, sick of going to dumps in the back of pubs or working mens clubs. Why should we settle for the cheapest option. I'd gladly pay a couple of quid extra for a club like Soul Shakers that Dave and Malayka took time and effort to promote and organise. Makes you wonder at times if it's worth all the effort and aggro that goes with it

    was told an age ago that the flip was good. first time I've heard it today and it's nice, very nice indeed

    I saw the comment on the Upfront topic yes (and like I said no dig at anyone who's commented about prices on SS anywhere) but I've heard comments about the prices for sometime now, especially the "what £12 to get in" Seeing it in the Skeggy topic just made me ask the question.

    I must be in a reflective mood Dave plus I'm bored with the football!!

    Had a discussion this weekend about whether prefer Friday night all-nighter or a Saturday night all-nighter? Also heard comments in the past on this subect too. So which night do you prefer to go out to an all-nighter?
  12. Chalky
    can't agrue with any of what you say Dave, agree entirely and like you said we've discussed this before and think basically along the same lines. To many promoters treat the soul crowd with contempt IMHO putting their own selfish interests first rather than those of the paying customer. I'm all in favour of less DJ's. If the right DJ's are chosen, chosen for their collections and what they have to offer rather than saying yes to all your mates, or trying to please everyone, there is no reason why all the bases can't be covered and something for everyone played!

    I was replying in general to your first comment and Teds about Danny Moore.
  14. Chalky
    forgot the door staff. Public Liabilty should be covered by the venue????
  15. Chalky
    but they turned up pretty quickly and not much else on the label worth bothering with. The Cabell label already has a few collectable numbers that fetch a few hundred, thats the difference in this case.
  16. Chalky
    it's still a cheap scene regardless of the number in, that shouldn't be the issue here, you never know how many you will get throught the door wehn promoting. Nighters were a tenner years ago and prices haven't really changed that much yet still comploiants are made? A decent sound system can cost a few hundred, top dj's command a price of at least £150 so with 4 top dj at an all-nighter, the outlay for not DJ's a step down the ladder, the system and of course venue hire which is usually a few hundred for a large venue, flyers adverts etc, bet not much change out of £2000.

    I've seen and heard complaints about prices into soul venues for some time (no dig at anyone who psoted on SS btw) but why do we expect everything on the cheap on the soul scene. I don't think ordinary punters realise what it costs to put on an event to be honest, what a dj costs, the cost of venue and equipment hire. I've heard many a complaint about £12 to get into an all-nighter I've just looked at gatecrasher for instance, £14, dunno the price of your ordinary nightclub, not something I frequent So why do soulies expect everything on the cheap?
  18. Chalky
    I think thats a totally different issue to the one thats basically being discussed. Isn't the topic basically about the northern scene and its fascination with orgianl vinyl only (not read all the topic so sorry if I've got it wrong)? The more modern scene always been open to cds as more often that not cd is the origianl format. As for King Moses, I have that here on the PC, I could get that cut to vinyl carver. Wonder what the reaction would be? Is playing a vinyl carver cut of an unissued track available on a Kent cd for instance any different to actually playing the cd itself?
  19. Chalky
    never said you were not entitled to your opinion, I juts gave m,y opinion as others did in response to your opinion. I'm like you, I stick to the price I'm gonna or prepared to pay, well most times
  20. Chalky
    we all live in hope Trev, but the facts regarding this record and the label and the fact that the label has been well known to collectors and DJ's alike for years speak for its self.
  21. Chalky
    I doubt Ian we will ever see the point on the scene where there are enough youngsters who have grown up with CD's and digital music for it not to matter about the original vinyl only ethos that the scene has evolved around, the soul scene is an aging scene and too many will leave the scene at around the same time due to their age and it will probably never recover. And as for the Rocket, can you blame the DJ's? I would blame the promotors for not booking the right DJ's for the crowd in there. Too mnay DJ's are booked for the price of their collection rather than their ability and quality of their sets at times.
  22. Chalky
    I don't think it would work Wally mate. I've been to venues where there are DJ's double decking and cause of the different tastes there was no flow to the set and the dancers were in and out of their seats, full floor for one record and empty floor for the next. It would need a lot of thought from the promoters to put the right DJ's in there who could bounce of each other and get it right. But egos would probably get in the way.
  23. Chalky
    Roll on the day for what Trev? I noticed you edited and stuck Rainy in after Do you really think it will surface and come down to a price of 3/400 quid?
  24. Chalky
    probably cause they are clueless John.
