As a newbie on SS I'm not sure if this topic has been covered, if so can someone point me in the direction of the thread so I can read it.
What I basically want to know is....Can all these different genres of soul music actually work together at soul nights/nighters.
R&B, modern, mid-tempo, traditional, do they all compliment each other? What for example should you do if you're playing a set of modern at a do, and it clears the floor? I think the style of music played at a venue very much dictates the politics of the scene. If someone has a particular penchant for mid-tempo, they tend to extol the virtues of said genre, and visit venues playing mostly that style of music. What also seems to happen is that we the punters are/can be pilloried for not allowing the scene to progress, because in the mid-tempo lovers viewpoint we are stuck in a time-warp. I'm not picking on any one style cos I like or dislike it, just using them as examples

Can we still be educated, do we need educating?
