Brill Read...I had just started the senior school when this guy was going to places like wigan....jim jams in a bag to stay round your mates house...i did it once when me a good freind of mine went to the fleet all-nighter back in the 80's...first class exscuse...first class read...ktf...

Good morning Soulies... I have been following this thread over the last week...very interesting indeed... Some very important points have beed made...infact a very wide range have been covered...so much so that i agree with all of them...the only thing that i would be worried about is if some other promoter decides to put on an event with out looking at the calenda and ends up clashing with...as i have founght out in the pass as other promoters have aswell...only last saturday The Blue Lagoon ended up clashing with farnborough...i know it's good to give ppl a choice of an event but for a major event down south to happen ie...All-nighter/All-dayer & i'm not just saying this because i put on an All-dayer...then it will need all the support from everyone...but unfortunatly not everyone gets on...bloody shame...last years all-dayer only saw around 40 locals in...the other 200 plus came from around the country...What i'm trying to say is it's bloody hard work putting on events...it's not just the case that you open the doors and wait for the soulies to turn up...i know that some ppl think that is the case & you make loads of money...i'm very very passionate about the soul sceane and have been for a very very long time...Take Ghetto Soul for instance....when is launched a year ago it was so that it would promote the second room of the All-dayer...it's only a small room and the music policy is defferent from the norm...dj's playing from the back of there box and not worring about the dance floor...but to get the locals in you have to mix it up abit then it becomes a normal soul night...don't worry i'm sticking with the original policy because i beleive in the soul scene that much...one day the locals will come along...a few already have started to...but i must say a massive thanks to all the traverling soulies...without you then ghetto soul would of finished 8 months ago...so will soulies travel from other parts of the uk...yes they will if the night is offering something different & it is inviteing...and of couse they are all made welcome...Ghetto Soul has proved that...But what i do worry about is the events that go on and the promoters don't care if the dj's play off Boots/CD's & bloody Lap Tops...Because that will defo kill the scene down here.. I Also beleive that we have to pull in the younger soulful crowd...that means the music policy has to change abit...more upbeat...cos the younger crowd don't want to stand around they wanna dance...there is a couple of young lads that put on regular soul nights at the soul cella in southampton...i've been a couple of times...the crowd are young and well up for it...now if we can pull in some of that then great...because they are hungry for soul music...and the place is packed...i've always said it...young blood on the scene keeping the faith... Anyway i've got that off my chest now...lol... Imho of course Russ i respect you 100% as you know...anything i can do to help then just ask... Alfie

Your be made very welcome...thanx for the post... Alfie
