Jaco Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The threads Simon refers to provide all the analysis needed. I'm sure it does Mark but "there's a lot of gobshites on here" doesn't automatically come across as significant words of wisdom does it? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Markw Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Maybe not Jaco. Take your point there mate. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Back Street Blue Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Bit cryptic all this? Assuming we're commenting on the Crewe venue fiasco, then it seems some old men are squabbling over teritorial rights to make money and or the kudos of promoting events there. All very sad really. If we are commenting on that thread....then the squabbling isn't exclusively "oldies scene" is it as one of the "rare scene's" events also gets an airing. Like I said all very sad. Instead try analysing said scene, try and put your finger on what a load of old men are trying to do, because I can't 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Jaco Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Ah, the Box thread is what it's all about then. Not sure it's purposely about the oldies scene but there is something unappealing about people who should know better squabbling in a public forum. It was mildly interesting but lost my attention very quickly. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Markw Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 You're right Jaco, that Box thread was not directly about the oldies scene per se, but it was quite a revealing insight into how ferociously commercially competitive that scene has become. Very unedifying. 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Winsford Soul Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 There's always been wars over venues, but in this day and age of tinterweb and all this fb , Twitter shit it's all out in the open instead of being carried out over the telephone or in dingy back street pubs and clubs..

Soulfinger Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I'm surprised that the Box thread was thought to be about the oldies scene. I thought it was mostly about egos and branding. It was the most soul destroying thread I have seen on soul source. It was unedifying and embarrassing. I have no axe to grind, I am just a bloke who goes out dancing to soul music and has done for 40 years, I just think some of the contributors to the thread need to have a word with themselves. All IMHO of course, 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I have no axe to grind, I am just a bloke who goes out dancing to soul music and has done for 40 years, I just think some of the contributors to the thread need to have a word with themselves. All IMHO of course, I agree with you there. But for me, that was one of the things which was so interesting about it. I think it was quite revealing (and surprising), perhaps for a lot of us here, just what motivations, relationships, and emotions are in play - 'back of house' so to speak. It is said that in relationships (typically marital) it is through the arguments and fights along the way that the most is learned about each other. It may also facilitate growth, if considered with the right mindset. Of course, that may be scant consolation for those poor buggers whose wives (or husbands?!) have scarpered in an angry mist of bitterness, betrayal and bile and taken a good 50% or more of the precious vinyl collection with them! The bastards, eh ... !! 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Jona Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Isn't the box an ATB venue, playing everything? So how come you knock just Oldies? Don't understand why you would start a thread like this?? Confused.com Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
