One person I spoke to (who I didn't know) about the numbers thing said the reason they stopped coming to Lowton was because the music was too 'rare' in the big room and that they didn't know any of the tunes being played?
This was echoed by quite a few people Joan hense the logic of playing rarer, less well know music in the back room as championed by the DDA and playing more well known tunage in the big room while maintaining the quality, ie Tomangos with Temptones, Eddie Cartlton with Eddie Floyd, Curly Moore with Johnny Moore, Executive Four with Ellusions and so on. The general consensus of opinion these days is the music is the best of any soul night around at Lowton, in BOTH rooms, so time will tell.
