Picture a world with no more soul events


Recommended Posts

Wow - what is this doom and gloom time, while people are passionate about something, Soul, Elvis, Mozart (1756-1791) - It will never end - look on Soul Source thousands of people talking and celebrating different aspects of Soul music / memories / photos / storeys etc - great times In the past, great times ahead - yes am sure it will be slow and steady but hey - One Step At a Time - I think there’s a tune there somewhere 👍🏻

I think we'll have to promise not to attend if we have symptoms, no matter how mild, and try to refrain from all the kissy kissy, huggy huggy and even handshaking, until there's more confidence. As for using public toilets, well, that's a whole other hazard!

Time for someone to start making record label face masks methinks.

"Do you have a Mary Jane, original, uncontaminated Coronavirus facemask from 2020?" "Wish I did mate, only 5 were made, worth £5k now".

Logically until schools, shops, sports etc have no social distancing, then venues will not be able to run surley

You may be waiting I think until well into 2021

I agree 👍🏼

Plenty of time to live once a vaccine is found.  Laid up with a virus doesn’t pay the rent and bills.  If no vaccine can be found then that is a whole different ball game. 

And that whole different ball game is still a possibility.  It has been interesting how the chat from Govt recently seems to be moving away from talking about the vaccine much.  I have even heard 2 of the sage folks talking about the fact there is still no cure for aids.  Crossing far too many things hoping that will not be the case.

Personally, I believe regardless of whether a vaccine is found, there Will be events, legal or otherwise. Maybe a return to a true underground of unlicensed venues might hint at the atmosphere of the heydays of yore.

Chalky you feel like that now, but how about in 6 months, or year? As we've seen, many are starting to take liberties and that will only grow. We have a crew of aging piss heads who gather daily to drink cans on the town hall steps, in my town. The  level of policing is a fraction of what it was 30 years ago, regardless of the statistics. Posturing and threats from the government are totally unrealistic. 

Maybe what will define us won't be the width of our trouser bottoms or ' the knowlege', at these events but whether we have the desire be to continue live, dance and share a comunal experience. FFS their are heavy metal bands that formed in the centre of war zones. I can't imagine a world without soul events and don't want to.

I think the essence of the new normal will be tollerance and respect of others veiws and concerns.

Mrs. I'm sorry but refrain from the kissy, kissy  huggy, huggy and handshakes is not going to happen.  I miss  my friends and can't wait to see them again  and give them all hugs and kisses .

ain't this period of time a moment in time  when the decent skilled promoters will shine and the not so smart ones fade away?

 

nothing seen on here, but anyone doing ought like this 'northern' wise out there...?

I guess as The Chancellor said about businesses Mike "some will not make it"

It might not be any good being a promoter if the venues themselves collapse as the hight streets may do (some businesses). I guess those run by the councils, such as here with "the Winter Gardens" and "The Tower" should get through it, but cuts and cuts are surely coming soon.

Dancing on the Soul scene is usually more "distanced" than most, but not in the seating or bar areas and that will most likely suggest that until pubs / cafes open (with no restrictions) promoters can totally forget it happening IMHO

I have seen comments about gigs this year (later) from promoters still stating not cancelled (as yet) and it reminds me a little of when the lockdown first happened and they were hoping.

It would be nice to get opinions from Kev and Richard as they are more expert then me.

Well I met two people today who are back to work at different pubs on the 4th July. One seemed to think that the distancing would be down to 1m by then (despite any official notice that I can find) and both seemed to think it would include the inside of pubs. So how long before larger indoor events are back up and running?

I'm a teacher, a couple of weeks ago I doubted if we'd be back in September, now I think all years will be back in more or less full time. The union issues a red herring, academies don't recognise them anyway.

Finally a teacher to talk to 😀. I wondered what you thought to my fathers idea (he is 84)

As the system has missed out on 3 months (approx) of education (we have 2 young buys 9 and 7) , he said

"Why don't they just push the whole education system "back" 3 months including all exams, so the kids finish their classes and final schooling in December instead of September, so they will have then lost nothing (assuming no second wave)"

What do you think ?

Where would you put the ones coming in, year 7 and reception, for three months? The whole system is interdependent. What about university's? Just couldn't work I'm afraid.

Won't be long before venue's are open now that the 1 mtr rule is going to be applied by July 4rh, August/September . Bring it on.  

If it's that early I will be amazed. I agree with the above and after all the Bank Of England Governor was taking yesterday about how sorry he was for night clubs / venues (which I assume fits in to this category) and how tough it was going to be for them to survive

How about kids as well as students simply starting the year again in September? Basically everyone held back a year, and new starters to start a year late.

Would that work?

Apologies if a silly question (I'm a welder)

I'm currently listening to Brackley Radio https://brackleyradio.uk/listen-live.php - There's a Northern Soul show on every Tuesday eve 7.00pm - 9.00pm.

Just had a 'dad dance' in front of my daughter (Tabitha) :facepalm: I had a moment of that feeling though, and yeh, I think I do now miss going out.

Patience is a virtue as they say :wink:

It is a solution Len. Things that have been totally inflexible in the past have changed overnight in education, nothing seems unfeasible anymore.
