Who else is looking forward to the Opening of the Longfield Suit (Prestwich) in May 2014. I am for sure, the place got the mix between Northern Soul and Modern Soul just about correct for me. Moving between the two rooms at this venue means anyone could enjoy themselves, personally I enjoyed the smaller modern room the most, its atmoshere, good time's guarenteed, quality music, the mixture of modern styles, great. So until the Longfield Siute opens where are the real soul clubs, I'm not looking for a single style music venue, but a venue that mixes all soul music stlyes. Say from beat ballad Northern, 60's 70's to 2014, Funk, Latin, Jazz,Hip Hop these styles all have Soul. Real Soul Clubs Where Are they......

No records, no dancing, no good times. Crikey - I'm not going to any of your parties!

As was mine.

 

 thats called across the board.......it don,t work.........something for everybody,nothing for anybody

100 Club seems to do ok with an 'across the board' policy. RAFA; Serious Shades of Soul, likewise.

Boomerang isn't just crossover and modern.  It features more than its fair share of 60's as well, right across the board.  

 

You have to know your crowd, book the right DJ's and get the mix right, have faith in your DJ's.  Not everyone wants a formulaic night out, many like a bit of variety.

 

if you don't like a particular policy at a venue then keep away, that's my philosophy. 

Having attended on and off for six years, for reasons outside of soul music. I can categorically state that in my humble opinion the one word I'd use to qualify/ describe Boomerang is "Quality"!

Darnall Horti in Sheffield has been going for 5 years now, and we play just about anything. Our guests choose for themselves. Our sister Sunday chillout at the Church House follows the same ethos, very similar to the Horse and Groom and, to a fair extent,  frequented by the same crowd. Check us out if you're ever in our neck of the woods. Events are posted on SS and FB.

Pretty varied mix of things - reflected in the DJ's on offer. 

 

 

Personal preference is all genres in one room...all night. A lot of nights say they'll do it, but generally lean more toward one specific genre which tends to be up tempo...not always, but you go off what the punters want, I guess, plus the DJ's on the bill, and eventually you carve out an 'affiliated sound'.

Been to the Horti a couple of times now and missed another due to SkegVegas weekender. What a lovely night out, brill hospitality, nice friendly crowd and a fab balance musically. Count me in whenever I'm available.
