Some fantastic feedback with regards to the new Brixton all niter.. A mixed crowd dancing to soul and funk tunes..

Some put this down as the way forward, as was the case when i was part of the promotions for Soul Revolution....

Maybe the way forward for some but not for others..

I really enjoyed Soul Rev in London with a real mixed crowd and broad musical taste.. All kinds of people and style of dancfloor ettiquett that could piss some off...

I like more tradtional all niters too with a hardcore crowd of soulies that know the score and things aint changed much in 30 years..

I like the taking the music into little bars without or very little dancefloor and playing different tempo and style from early RnB, jazz, Northern, beat ballads/ deep soul, ska funk,crossover etc etc..

I like Mod events that play 60s RnB encourage a certain style of dress..

I like some crossover modern events too..

I lke the European events with a youger crowd

Or sitting around at home with jazz fags and listening to deeeeeeeep soul wrist slashers for hours on end and making grown men and women cry ( you know who you are) :huh:

I can mix with shandy drinking southern folk, northern ferrett breeders,mad Geordies, drunken scots and Irish and them overseas folk too...

Maybe i am a strange creature who can be at home at any of these events :lol: .. All these type of events and people are present on this forum and the scene in general... Some people at all of these events are trying to push it as the way forward :) ...

I would like to think the way forward is for people to just go and do what they wanna do and let others do the same.. There is so much choice at the moment, get it while you can, long time dead and all that...

I'm in heaven at the thought of these choices each weekend... Can't imagine life ( or don't want to) without it..

Peace brothers and sisters..

The rev.... Kenny Lynch.. xxxxx

there's a label starting up that is resurrecting some old osti designs. Saw a few pics of that not to long ago and prices were very reasonable.

yes a clobber thread would be good....

I dont think I am missing the point and Im far from narrow minded, BUT when I go to a NORTHERN SOUL all-nighter then I expect NORTHERN SOUL not funk, ska, acid, etc etc. When I got to Burnley I expect uptempo 60s/unknowns and even latin or Middleton now Maximes I expect to be going from room to room for the R & B etc but in the main room I expect NORTHRN SOUL and thats what I get. Now I have always loved Crewe and the last one a few weeks ago had 2 rooms with Modern etc etc upstairs and oldies downstairs. I spent 90% of the night in the oldies room and danced my nuts off. If it had been 1 room and ska and funk had been also played I would have never have gone again. It should never ever be mixed on the same dancefloor EVER.

I was talkin about the angle that Stevie seems to be coming from, rather than any particular venue. Which is what people appeared to think he was on about. If that comes out right?
