I must admit that I am one of those "beer towel brigade" girls but DO NOT attend his venues for many of the reasons already stated in this post and past posts, thats not what this scene is about, and bullying and intimidating other kindred souls that have a love of soul music is dispicable.
His principles lay truly in the heart of his back pocket, let him have his venues, may they be filled with handbaggers, whom kick off, at the length of the bar queue/ the way they are herded into venues like teenagers/ asked to leave cause someone fcuked up big style.... bet they won't accept it like we have done for so long.
