Fab guest DJ's. Not forgetting that Dave Brennan and his beautiful wife will be there to celebrate Daves 40th. Should be a great night.
Hope that no shite R&B gets played, though if memory serves me right, Dave and Kate quite like it.....
See you then!

If anyone likes R&B - shite or otherwise - can always go elsewhere...

Get a life will you lot please, I'm sure it's not effected your venue is the slightest and anyone with a brain could see what was meant, though Colin admitted it was not the best choice of words. It seems that this night that get's a dedicated if small crowd thus far seems to threaten you when it shouldn't.

All Soul music is just Rhythm & Blues with a Gospel twist, that's all. I think what Colin and Guy meant was that you won't hear blatant Rock'n'Roll records which have no place on the soul scene or R'n'B scene.

At the last one there was a few cracking "Hard Soul / R'n'B" records like "Black Wings" by Hayes Cotton and what about "Chaos" the Lord Thunder cover up, that Guy plays. In fact Guy & Keb was renowned for playing records like this in the 80's along with mid-tempo beat ballads. I would also bet that there are a lot of records played at your venue that would have been played by Guy or the other 6T's mafia d.j.'s in the 80's.

Why don't you go along to the next one and see for yourself, one thing is certain the music is first class, especially when you have d.j.'s like Kitch, Dean Anderson, Colin Law and Andy Dyson who have already been guests there. Then with Eddie, Guy and Col mopping up the spare hours you can't go wrong.

This is not meant as a confrontational reply, I just think with the amount of venues around why bother slagging each other off. I told Col the same!

Good post..

I think the wording did get to a few people and has made a difference with regards to numbers,some people are easy to piss off..I know Colin and co meant that Rock N roll type stuff only..Its a hard job to set up a new night like this with so much on within 1 hours drive..Like you say its quality djs and music all the way..Colin just mopping up ,i bet he likes them words..Good luck to you all the promoters in 2006,work hard because nothing comes to those who sit back,some other place will step in..Its like a shark feeding frenzy at times with so many things on the same night....We know the scene is gonna get smaller pretty soon,some will carry on and some will go under,thats the way of the world...

Good post? How the fook do you make that out mate?

Joe replies to some vacuous remark about "shite R&B", and then "Bluepower", which sounds alarmingly like an advert for washing powder, suggests he get a life and starts telling him it's not affected.... sorry "effected", his venue!

And if you're reading this Mr Bluepower, this cover-up that the mighty Guy plays... is it one he got from Kym?

However, I shall be in Sheffield on the 23rd.... see you there?

PS. You "nip round for a cup of tea" any time you like. There'll be a warm welcome awaiting

What on earth are all these aggressive posts needed for?

I made the original "vaccuous" comment to my friend Colin. He (and my other friends) know I can't stand R&B and have NEVER gone to a do where this genre of music is advertised on the flyer. Two of my oldest, closest friends Dave (who will be celebrating his 40th there) and Kate love it though.

Those of us with half a brain know what we like, vote with our feet and have no need to threaten people (even jokingly) whose musical taste differs from our own.

Happy Christmas
Kirsty

If nothing else this shows that we all share a passion for the genre of music we prefer.

To be honest I believe the 'No shite R&B' comment on the flyer to be somewhat sarcastic.

Although the intention may have been to highlight no 'Rock'n'Roll' (as we so often hear) will be played but Northern friendly R&B will, the comment can still be misread, so why not remove the comment from the details after the initial backlash from the first flyer ?

All genres of soul played on our scene have good and bad ......if 'No shite Northern' or 'No shite Rare Soul' or 'No shite Modern' was used on a flyer the reaction would be multiplied 10 fold, and you all know it.

Seems odd to me that anyone would want to restrict the appeal of a club to potential attendees by using such remarks....most of the people I know into R&B are also into Rare Soul and attend the likes of Wilton, Lifeline, Steam, 100 Club et al.........perhaps us 'Rock'n'rollers' are just not as blinkered as others.....
