February 7, 201114 yr are there certain criteria for qualifying as a mini all nighter ...???? any thoughts? 4.00am finish? That's the time that Lowton and Prestwich mini nighters closed.
February 7, 201114 yr Some say That there is no such thing as a mini nighter, and that any that finish before 5 a.m. are merely long soul Nights......... All I know is Bring back 12 til 8 Tony
February 7, 201114 yr 4.00am finish? That's the time that Lowton and Prestwich mini nighters closed. Bar Open As Late As Possible!! Not Being A Drinken Man This Is What I Have Heard! hic! hic! Pardon Me
February 7, 201114 yr Why use the term? Does it make it sound like the customer is getting more for there money? Anyway no such it's either a nighter or it isn't and therefore a soul night.
February 7, 201114 yr i have a semi mini now but thats another story LOL anyway, back on track i'm in the it either is or it isnt....simples
February 7, 201114 yr What about a semi - mini niter that end at 3am? Same as mini nighter is it not, a soul night It's just an advertising gimmick.
February 7, 201114 yr Same as mini nighter is it not, a soul night It's just an advertising gimmick. So Chalky........when is a Cadburys mini roll not a mini roll?
February 7, 201114 yr are there certain criteria for qualifying as a mini all nighter ...???? any thoughts? The people ( knowing what they are going to get) The music ( see above) Start time 9.00pm Finish time 4.00 .A flippin M. 7 hours of quality. Gives a chance for folks with other commitments to get out till "late",without getting home at 10 in the morning. (some leave proper nighters at this time anyway,so whats the problem). Most soul nights end from 12 - 2.am. Edited February 7, 201114 yr by KevH
February 7, 201114 yr spot on kev...........and it cuts out this totally stupid desire/need? to book a hotel for a nighter whats that all about? ........mini nighter no hotel............suppose a lot of folk would leave at 2,O'Clock
February 7, 201114 yr spot on kev...........and it cuts out this totally stupid desire/need? to book a hotel for a nighter whats that all about? ........mini nighter no hotel............suppose a lot of folk would leave at 2,O'Clock Exactly .
February 7, 201114 yr They are the future maybe.... Seems a shame but many niters suffer from crowds drifting off after 3/ 4am.. Maybe better a good mini is best as the real deal tails off.. Food for thought...
February 7, 201114 yr No problem with the term myself, would expect it to finish around 4 a.m. Also would expect some of the better known nighter DJs to be playing. Soul nights I classify as something finishing between 12 and 2, could be all local DJs. I liked nighters to finish at 8......just seemed right Winnie :-)
February 7, 201114 yr They are the future maybe.... Seems a shame but many niters suffer from crowds drifting off after 3/ 4am.. Maybe better a good mini than a real one tails off.. Food for thought... Yes, but even though one drifts away at 3ish one can still maintain the kudos that comes with only attending allnighters...................... Tony
February 7, 201114 yr Yes, but even though one drifts away at 3ish one can still maintain the kudos that comes with only attending allnighters...................... Tony Kudos in who's eyes, the beholder............
February 7, 201114 yr I would ahve thought a very small venue with DJ's and punters under five feet tall...get it mini allnighter lol
February 7, 201114 yr When I see 'mini nighter' I think a 4am finish. Not offended by it in any way. I think it is used to let people see at a glance that it is a later finish than a soul night.
February 7, 201114 yr Had Plenty "Mini Nighters" At Lowton Usually The Anniversary Nights And Always A Top Dj Line Up!! As Was The Norm!! Edited February 9, 201114 yr by mrtag
February 7, 201114 yr 9 to 4 soul night for big time piss heads 12 to 8 all night soul time for those that prefer Vimto and cheese puffs
February 7, 201114 yr The people ( knowing what they are going to get) The music ( see above) Start time 9.00pm Finish time 4.00pm 7 hours of quality. Gives a chance for folks with other commitments to get out till "late",without getting home at 10 in the morning. (some leave proper nighters at this time anyway,so whats the problem). Most soul nights end from 12 - 2.am. Think that is called a Maxi Nighter/Dayer !!!!!
February 7, 201114 yr are there certain criteria for qualifying as a mini all nighter ...???? any thoughts? I personally don't like the phrase. To me it's a complete contradiction of words. Its either an ALLnighter or a Soul Night. I think some of the wine bars in Leeds are open until 4.00 but dont advertise it as a Mini Bar (which again has a whole different meaning ) Just my own view on the phrase Mini All-nighter
February 7, 201114 yr 9 to 4 soul night for big time piss heads 12 to 8 all night soul time for those that prefer Vimto and cheese puffs JUST DONE SKEGGY 3 X 9 TO 4 NIGHTS + TWO AFTERNOON SESSIONS 1 TO 5 KEV
February 7, 201114 yr Well spotted Andy 4 A bleeding M you pair of chumps!!!! 9 - 4 am.............god,you try and help..............................
February 7, 201114 yr 4 A bleeding M you pair of chumps!!!! 9 - 4 am.............god,you try and help.............................. Chumps ? Love it Kev Sorry for giggling at your initial post. You know I love you .... but it was funny x
February 7, 201114 yr Chumps ? Love it Kev Sorry for giggling at your initial post. You know I love you .... but it was funny x Word of the Day.
February 7, 201114 yr kudos.............l go to nighters for music....the crac...and nighter people.......simple as .....why would anyone go to a nighter just for the kudos???? strange world..........if ya gonna leave 2 hours earlier you should of gone to a soul night.....also known as a mini nighter
February 7, 201114 yr Designed for them who like to leave b4 2 but who then like to brag that theyve done a "niter" and with a bit of exaggeration can say they just missed the last hour.
February 8, 201114 yr Same as a mini snickers bar i suppose. Not quite as big but just as tasty and all the same ingredients.
February 8, 201114 yr Same as a mini snickers bar i suppose. Not quite as big but just as tasty and all the same ingredients. Just advertise the event with the times : people who attend will then apply a " name " for it . I always found the term " Mini All - Dayer " amusing , which was given to events on a Sunday that commenced at 4 PM , and ran until 11 PM / Midnight . " Mini All Dayer " ? a load of b*****ks ........ they were extended soul nights Malc
February 8, 201114 yr What about the 2/3 room "all nighters" that choose to shut some of the rooms halfway through the event but fail to advertise this on their flyers or promotions. I find that "sharp practise" TBH.
February 8, 201114 yr What about the 2/3 room "all nighters" that choose to shut some of the rooms halfway through the event but fail to advertise this on their flyers or promotions. I find that "sharp practise" TBH. Had the opposite happen to me at Imber one night.Someone opened a door,and it was room after room after room. After room. Not such a bad idea closing off a side room.Gives a chance to fill the main room for the last hour.

Not such a bad idea closing off a side room.Gives a chance to fill the main room for the last hour. My point being if you attend the event to be in the modern room or R&B room - whichever is your bag. The promoter then shuts them rooms - you have to then go into the main "Northern Room". You have still paid the same admission price as everyone else but the music you attended the event for in the first place is no longer being played. Your choice is to either leave or listen to music you don't really want to - not really much of a choice is it ? Think the all nighters that Chris Waterman promotes allow you to leave early & you pay a reduced admission price for this - he is to be applauded for that.
February 9, 201114 yr Good points but going off this topic aint it... Feel free to start a topic anytime with regards to ethics and multi rooms...
February 9, 201114 yr If mini-nighters do exist the best example for me was The Dome. 3am finish, too good to be considered a mere soul night, not long enough to be a nighter.
February 9, 201114 yr If mini-nighters do exist the best example for me was The Dome. 3am finish, too good to be considered a mere soul night, not long enough to be a nighter. good shout, they always said they were going to put on a nighter there, but weren't allowed, used to hate leaving at the end it was always such a good night
February 9, 201114 yr Indeed... Many examples of the so called mini niter thats got real quality.. Maybe many moons ago the niter was the holy grail with regards to quality of djs/ music etc etc etc.. Not anymore.. Enough real quality events to keep many folk happy and no need to go to niters anymore... Niter promoters have to be on their toes as times change and people change with it.. In the world of promotions, nothing stands still forever,i know that after all these years.. The longer soul night events that finish after 2am could be the main core of the rare soul scene as folk get older and can't last out/ don't want to last out till 6/7/ 8am... I promote both as i have friends who don't/ can't do niters anymore but still have the passion... The weekenders will go to long soul nights i guess, better a good finish at 4am with a crowd wanting more than a 7/ 8am finish with just a few peeps left and little atmosphere... Promoters should be there to react to whats going on around them.. If the promotions going fine then don't try and fix what aint broke, if its a struggle then take action and try and improve.. Common sense to me... Nowadays i am happy with say one niter a month and a few long soul nights, many feel the same...
