Guest topcatnumpty1 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Tickets selling well. Don't miss out - phone or go online to secure yours Just a quickie----is this the same Phil Dick who took out a thread on here not too long ago to say he was having nothing more to do with the soul scene--and that all his records were for sale(at the right price!!!) How do we know this event will take place he might leave the scene again?? T.C. Link to comment

How do we know this event will take place he might leave the scene again?? T.C. Tony, I think you'll find that was a couple or more years ago. Didn't sell any records either. But just in case I do head off into the sunset my partner in the event Ian Dewhirst will look after things. The venue is paid for, the last of the sound equipment was bought today, so we can actually have music in both rooms However, I don't understand why the question? You wouldn't have had even the slightest inclination to attend anyway would you? Phil Link to comment

Does your 9 year old need another 9 year old to keep he/she company cos I know where there is one going spare Seriously tho I would give anything to show my support for this venue on your first night (but sadly not my god-daughter). Her mum would kill me especially when it could turn out that my GD had a better night than her mum who is going to another soul venue hence the reason for me stepping in. Not that the other one is going to shxt just I know yours is going to be better (imo) All the best Phil Keep at it Ali x Link to comment
Guest lagerlout Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 What is the problem with this event...look at the line up...the pair of you must have some sort of issues with it/them as why would you post something to pull down an event like that. I know from experience that putting events on is thankless, hardwork, and non profitable in most cases. you do it to let people come and dance/listen to the music they love. for the purist its an issue about wot label its on wot the run in number is, to me its wots in the grooves of the 7" black vinyl disc. come on fellas dont knock an event thats not even happened yet.

I don't undertand either, but hey that's life. However, Trev (soulman1964) just raised what he felt were valid concerns over all DJ's ability to conform with our stated music policy. IE OVO. As for profit. If we fill the place to capacity we'll make a grand total of £300.00 profit. But that's not what it's about, it's about playing thse beautiful choons in a nice venue and enjoying the expereince that it gives you. For me it IS an issue about the label, for others not. But to me as a promoter/DJ at this event there are at least 3 separate streams of enjoyment: 1. Promoter - The pleasure of putting on an event and seeing tour peers turning up, paying their money and enjoying themselves from start to end, wanting more. 2. DJ - taking that elusive piece of vinyl from its sleeve, giving it a little wipe with the lint-free cloth placing it upon the turntable and cueing it up. Slide up the faders, the sound erupts from the speakers, soulies rush to the dancefloor enjoying every minute. The sense of achievement i personally get from playing a record the crowd wants to listen to is electric. And ... 3. Soulie - standing around chatting to a mate, enjoying the music and then the next record comes on and it's one of "those" records. the hairs stand up on the back of your neck and you've just GOT to get on the dancefloor and for those 2-3 minutes everything else just doesn't exist. To paraphrase the M&S adverts. It's not just soul music it's Northern Soul muisc. I love it! Phil Link to comment

Phild Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hi Phil What is the venue capacity at this event? regards paul Hi Paul. Official Capacity across both rooms (with tables) - 390 Without tables - 685 The fire regs state that if there are any tables (even one table) used in the main hall the capacity drops by nearly 300! There's no less space with a few tables in so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. But I thought that people would appreciate somewhere to put their drink down. The main hall is a beautiful victorian hall with a stage at one end and a balcony all around. The second room is up a level (on the same level as the balcony) and is a has lovely ornate panelling and marble radiator covers. Cheers Phil Phil Link to comment
