hi dave,
i think promotors should stick to one thing or t'other. i don't think atb nights/nighters work personally the tunes are all over the place, uptempo then midtempo followed by a bit of disco [modern] theres no real flow going on. places that seem to do ok are the ones that stick to one thing [stoke uptempo oldies, thorne crossover,modern, bidds r'n'b ] etc, etc.... then people know what to expect and will go the do's that are playing their kind of tunes.
well thats my take on it anyway jeri
