Very sad as always to hear such news. On a more positive note and in response to the post I would say the scene is in good hands with plenty of younguns which seems to be increasing especially if I think back to when my Dad took me to Prestwich around 10 years ago as I got a few funny looks but couldn't believe how many younguns were at the last Rugby Niter, not to mention Jordan putting on his niter in Wigan which I hear was a big success with approx 800 in attendance.
Plenty of young dancers, DJs & collectors out there, you can catch some of us at The Original Skegness Weekender (shameless plug) and credit to those such as Dave, Donna, Coops and all involved at Skegness and other promotors out there who are giving the younguns a chance.
