Welcome back JT.Was it a punk night you were djing at?.If it was a soul night,why didn't you do the right thing and drop the geezer?.
As for "f*ck it and move on".I suppose that might pave the way for another club to jump in the vacant date in London.
Retro/history is the name of the game.Most of us want to look back fondly on the soul scene.Not say "f*ck it " as if we couldn't give a toss.
