Guest soulboy101 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 my first night at boogaloo didn't get there till late but really impressed with how friendly every one was. really enjoyed the dancing especially the two guys doing the spins and backflips definetly be there on the 12th soulboy101 Link to comment
Guest Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Don't know whether it's a north / south thing but there seems to be far fewer venues down here playing my style of oldies than in the north and midlands. Only been down here a few months so any venues you can recommend would be appreciated. IF YOU LET US KNOW A FEW TUNES YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THEN PPL CAN SUGEST EVENTS FOR YOU..WHAT IS YOUR STLYE OF OLDIES MOLDIE Link to comment
Xss Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Sam, Done Pilsley and enjoyed it immensly, but on this occasion went out to support a local venue as Pilsley is a 6hr round trip I also thought advertising a soul event should be in the events forum Julie OOPS SORRY Link to comment
Shsdave Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 No worries mate and no offence taken. You're absolutely right about trying different stuff.........that's why I went along to Boogaloo knowing it wouldn't be oldies (my definition!). If I don't try to get into some of the more recent plays I'm destined to become a couch potato! Don't know whether it's a north / south thing but there seems to be far fewer venues down here playing my style of oldies than in the north and midlands. Only been down here a few months so any venues you can recommend would be appreciated. I'll pm you mate not fair to advertise other venues on a lookback Link to comment

Guest outonthefloor Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Blimey, cant believe all this....anyone would think it was a meeting to solve world poverty rather than a local soul nit in lil 'ol London town!!!!! My opinion for what it's worth...... 1. Yes, it would have been nice to know that Warren was away and it did feel a bit strange without him and Karen there but you cant knock Ian and Steve for that and Cira made me feel very welcome and always greets everyone as they come in. She sat by the door all night or danced right by the enterance. You'll go a long way to find a nicer person on the door...maybe Kev Such wins the prize but not by much x 2. I think the venue has a lot to do with the atmosphere. I used to call the old place 'the best northern soul social club around' It had that underground 'we've got a secret' kinda feel like the 100 club has ( not comparing the two just likening the feel of the venues) The lighting was 'odd' that kind of half light which gives the place a srtange feel. Personally I think Northern suits the big dance hall venue or the small dark 'smokey...not any more but you know what I mean...kinda cellar bars...Like SHS I suppose which has a great atmosphere. This is the first time I have been to this venue and it wasnt my favourite i must admit. then again its hard to find affordable, suitable places, especially in London. 3. The music was not all to my taste but then when there is only one room you would expect that. Its no secret that I prefer to go older than newer and if my memory serves thre was about as much RnB as there was 70's played with the 60's stuff sandwiched in the middle.....Now this is where it gets tricky.........The Dj's couldnt win IMO. The vast majority of the crowd most of whom I knew like a more popular tune, they go out to dance to what they know have a drink and a good time. Nothing wrong with that, they dont wanna be educated they want to be entertained plus i dont think they really care whether its ovo or not...again Im not judging just commenting. When the boys double decked at the end with good old standards like Ruby Andrews, Nolan poter, et al the dancefloor was rammed........Me, I did have a bit of the, 'Where's the Bride?' moment! Herein lies the arguement...I often complain on here when people say give the paying punter what they want....I whole heartedly disagree....Set your stall out and stick to your guns thats what successful nights do imo. Don't wanna keep comparing this venue to SHS but Dave never deviates from his policy and he gets the punters in. Steve and Ian were prsented with a dilema, they had people complaining about the music so they gave them what they wanted at the end of the night, the floor was rammed but the music was strictly, 'compliation CD' Even the guys would admit that. Ive heard Steve and Ian play blinding sets so Im not knocking either of them believe me. Both Steve and Ian are involvd in the scooter scene too and thats why they knew how to 'save the night' for the majority of the punters! In answer to the original question, this was not a typical Boogaloo night in my experience but also it was not a terrible night, certainly not the worst northern night ive been to.....clearly whoever said that has not been out in Southend recently lol.....Ive been to a few local nights where I would have considered hacking my arm off with a pen knike to escape after 127 minutes 'f**k 127 hours!!! Anyway I digress........... 4 The DJ's, When I arrived Little Ian was on but to be honest I didnt really notice what was playing because I was chatting and saying hello to everyone. Think Big Ian was next, He played some great RnB and I danced to most of it plus some 60's northern nothing that stands out so obviously not too offensive! Chad was next up and he played a mixed bag. Maybe if im being critical it was the flow rather than the individual tunes which made it feel a bit disjointed. but I did dance to most of his set. Its no secret the 70's stuff doesnt do it for me but thats just me lol. Think Kev came on after Chad. He also played a mixed bag plus one excellent RnB tune which I didnt catch the name of. Towards the end of his set he said he'd been asked to play som oldies as requests and duely obliged. Ian and Steve double decked after that and Ive alrady commented on the last hour. The Middle of the road northern lobby is very powerful and in the end people power won, Trouble is the people who want something different werent sated at the end and the popular oldies brigade didnt enjoy the beginig of the night...like I say, 'no win situation' Well thats about it really, would just like to say thank you to Steve and Ian (and Cira of course) for holdin the fort. Great to see loads of friends there, thank you for all your compliments, See you all out on the floor somewhere soon Helen Link to comment

Guest Bearsy Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Blimey i wasnt there myself last night but have been to quite a few over the years and ive never seen or heard of Boogaloo advertised as an "Across the Board" night or was i just not paying attention enough lol, gutted for those that put the night on for Warren in his absense and feel for those that fail to have a great time as there is nothing worse than that but hey it dont sound like a typical Boogaloo night to me and i was talking to a couple of close friends that attended from Medway last night and they said it was a very slow start but when it finally got going (nigh on midnight) it was as good as any previous Boogaloo nights, its a thankless task putting a night on and sometimes they dont come up to scratch but Warren, Karen, Ian, Ciara and Steve always try to put the best night on they can and hopefully something good can come out of this if there are negatives and like some have said earlier, to go for 9 years they must be doing something right onwards an upwards for a Soul Club that really tries to keep the paying punters who all like their soul different from one another happy Bearsy Link to comment

Julie Moore Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 As far as I can see, the only people to complain about last night are Samuisoul and Julie/Kev. I've read all the posts and all others mostly fair/supportive comments All in all a storm in a teacup. Boogaloo will survive the storm Of course Boogaloo will survive Martin and I will frequent it on many other occasions for sure,but as for only 3 of us making complaints i suggest you go put your glasses on and read the thread again you know me well Martin and know for a fact I post a true and honest review wherever I go as you have commented on my reviews many a time I have the upmost respect for everyone involved with the running of Boogaloo and any other event i go to even yours it was just unfortunate that it didn`t swing it for me on a personal level last night .......not bad after going for 5- 6 yrs eh ? regards Julie x Link to comment
Boogaloo Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Well, here I am basking in 30 degree heat in the most beautiful jungle lodge you´ve ever seen. Thought I´d just check my emails and bingo - it´s a sunami.We´ve never had so much stuff written about Boogaloosoul in the whole 10 years we´ve been operating. Look, as I´ve always said you don´t hang around long in this scene unless you´re in it for the long run and prepared to take a few on the chin from time to time. I call it feedback. I´d rather honest feedback than a steady stream of dwindling nights where no one turns up so we call it a day and we never knew why. Don´t mind the comments made and I´ve emailed those to let them know that. The one thing about Boogaloosoul is that it´s never the same night twice. Sometimes rarer, sometimes classics by the mile. I try to pick djs that bring something different every month. Sometimes you leave coz it didn´t hit the mark and sometimes you leave thinking it was the best night you´ve ever been to. I like that and perhaps our happy throng of regulars do to. I do admit that it does sometimes seems like a social club early doors and that at times it does take a bit of time to warm up but a lot of people come because it gives them the chance to chat with old mates for an hour or two before hitting the dancefloor. I would have loved to be there but I´m glad I´ve got the likes of Little Ian, Ciara, Steve and Barbara to hold the fort for me when I´m away . Couldn´t do it without them. Thanks guys. I´ll be back for the next one on the 12th of March with some more dodgy RnB, durgy Latin and rotten 60´s soul that´ll probably get booed off by Pam. Anyway I´m off to visit the biggest waterfalls in the world tomorrow. It´s a tough life but someones got to do it. At least there´s no mosquitos in the UK. Cheers and goodnight.

Don´t mind the comments made and I´ve emailed those to let them know that. Warren Well said Warren, as a promoter you have to expect negative (as long as it is constructive) as well as positive feedback. Time and time again I read comments from people who say one thing on the night and then the opposite on a look back. People should be honest and maybe then we can have a true reflection of what is happening and if something is wrong it can be rectified for next time. Link to comment

Ian yes ian i did post that last month as it was the truth....and yes you did let me play for almost two hours which i was very grateful for and i also posted a you tube to show what a good time ppl had.......i also posted what a warm welcome ppl recieved from yourself and ciara which again was the truth.....are you upset with anything ive posted in this months lookbacks? pity i was the only person who did bother too post apart from martin...if ppl accept good reviews then they have to accept bad ones too as warren posted i never complained about the sound at all..in fact i never complained about anything and in this months lookbacks i havent said anything untrue either i just posted an opinion and nothing else moldie Link to comment
