Driving into work today with to The Jam playing on my CD ( unfortunately my Car isn't OVO !! ) and in particular 'Going Underground' (March 1980)

'The Public Gets what The Public wants' juxtaposed with 'The Public wants what The Public gets'

Frequenting various Soul events around the Midlands and South Yorkshire we find that the majority of events play the same stuff week in week out, and even down to a DJ playing the same stuff at different events ( probably the same in other areas but different tooons !!)

Is it a matter of 'Gets what they want' or 'Wants what they get' ??

Without this falling into some SS pit of despair, what is your take on it - Generalisms, no names !!

If its been done to death then ignore it and move on - its nearly XMas XXXX

Only problem about bothering the dj into playing what you want is,has he strayed too far from the remit of the club,or is he trying something out to gauge reaction,or is it wrong for the night full stop.

If its the latter,maybe he shouldn't be there at all.And for every time you ask for a record,someone could well be groaning at your choice.

If he's strayed from the norm,maybe he needs a gentle nudge.Apart from that let the dj choose.That's what he's there for.

Neutral Ground - sounds like a name for a new club.

You don't have to stray too far to find the Gold Kev

Good name for a Club ? I just need someone to come in with me and we can start to advertise - What nights good for you mate ??

Have a good XMas XX

You wouldnt think a neutral ground would take that much to find :P

There's non left NJ - Everywhere you look there's a Flag already there claiming it for their own.

Apart from Cumbria - There's a lot of vacant plots up there Lol !!

MERRY CHRISTMAS XXXX
