The comparison between soul nites and all nighter's was brought up.Sean's merely stood his corner as to why Just Soul attracts a travelling crowd.Whether you or Phil like it,its happening.
,or even 12.30 Phil.....all depends on size of venue,overheads,what dj's you can attract,crowd loyalty.So,if they won't travel to soul nights...and premeir niters are sufferring.......plus some folks don't post on here....
No problem Barney.But this is about all nighters.There's not many in the Notts area who go to soul nights and nighters.But this area is blessed with nighter dj's.That's why your'e hearing some sounds.Probably a while after they've been big,but hearing them nonetheless.
Soul nites are very different to the niters,but how many people would do both in a night?.Why don't soul nites promote a link to an all nighter?.
Some allnighter dj's get booked,then find their big tunes clear the floor cos no-one knows em.They have to resort then to the tried and tested.
Then the punters say -"Whats the fuss about these guys?.No need to go to a nighter"!!!
Careful Astra,the "little guy" may be a "wannabee" who hasn't time served or been to the mythological DJ School.
Keeps cropping up on the thread about "cliques" of promoters/dj's.Would anyone seriously dj for a promoter who they couldn't stand the sight of.? No.
Friends and mates gravitate to each other thru a common set of demoninators.The music.The venues.The dj's.The crack.
Would a promoter book a dj they would rather set on fire? Not if he's true to himself.
So would someone please tell me whats wrong with likeminded folk meeting up and getting along.FFS !!!!!
Running all nighters as a business gets mentioned.The only ones who make the money ARE business men at heart.I'd bet the only ones who make money run oldies venues.
The future might be a barbecue at home,a few mates round,beer and wine.A turntable,everyone bring a box of records.
Then if it gets too busy,or noisy for your neighbours,open a venue.
