If it was just a Soul scene promoters would be quids in , the venues could be downsized and in most cases events could be held in someones living room , plenty of comfy chairs to sit in whilst chewing the fat regarding matrix details etc , cheap booze requiring no license , nibbles on tap , no extortionate security costs ... and no need whatsoever for a dancefloor ...
Oh hold on , that's all available without even needing to visit someone else's house , you can do all that on-line via SoulSource without even stepping out into the fresh air .
For the rest of us it'll remain a blend of a Dance scene and Soul scene , requiring travelling and a dancefloor thank you very much ... !
And now I must shoot off for something to eat before a trip down to Braintree for this weekend's dose of All-night Soul and Dance , albeit not necessarily in that order ....
