Just putting it out there .what does the ss fraternity think of the mindless idiotic traits of a few brainless people.has it affected soul venues I live in Stoke and have seen the damage .what's the answer folks
My 3 that I've heard played at soul venues are as follows.
1,ANGIE STONE,WISH I DIDNT MISS YOU.
2,GREG PORTER,LIQIUD SPIRIT.
3,DENNIS FERRER,CHURCH LADY .
they just do it soulful
I totally agree with everything your saying fella,it is totally exhausted maybe we should just call it the soul scene now.having been to many over the yrs and heard some excellent tunes but not so many good venues anymore, it seems like if you have a cafe or shop put some decks in and hey presto a soul club appears but closes due to not enough punters attending. We don't personally look out for ns venues anymore but go to just soul music venues which are numerous and everywhere. But each to there own
Sorry to hear you got threatened fella ,but don't let that put you off .you always find bullies and whatever names people call them in this genre stick with it
All the comments are quite varied and interesting. As for me a old duffer from a era when the music and venue just did it ,but lately we probably go to about one a mth now mainly the cost is getting silly.hotel now £150 and the cost of the night runs at about £200.the last one last week was the Kings Hall alldayer never been before even though we live in Stoke but thought we would give it a try ,we stayed 2hrs and left ,we were cheesed off with drunks on the dance floor and beer on the floor and if that wasn't bad enough the music was just mediocre at best .After 45yrs of souling it about I think our time has come to call it a day but who knows
I wish I hadn't bothered what a complete waste of money we only stayed 2hrs .atmosphere nil,unfriendly ,drunks dropping beer all over the floor ,music mediocre at best.back home at 7.30pm.would never go again
