Its like chalk and cheese mate. Totally different music policy. I imagine a lot of people will go to both but there will be a good percentage who will either go with the oldies or the new alternative.

Cheers Billy link Nothing new this Billy.... lots of towns/cities have more than one nite/niter running.... Healthy competition is good.... it's often if there's any politics behind it that will and does piss people off.... People will make their choice in this instance.... the nucleus of people in each may be the same as on different nites.... but with "oldies" fans making up the numbers at Kings.... and those that prefer "something a bit different" making the numbers up at Queens.... both tastes catered for ....

I'm not too sure who this promoter is is he soul related or basically in it for the money? Whatever all the best, thats like Kev opening an all nighter down Oxford Street, I wouldn't think Mr Crowsdale would be too happy. Yet Kev hasn't said anything, thats the sort of geezer he is.

Dave Rimmer Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I'm not too sure who this promoter is link Are you saying you've never heard of the New Century Soul Club ? is he soul related or basically in it for the money? link You mean Kev doesn't actually make any money from his allnighters then. Yet Kev hasn't said anything, thats the sort of geezer he is. Cheers Billy link That's because he's been on holiday since the day of Derek Allen's funeral. Having said that, there's not much that Kev can say, whilst he has the King's Hall (presumebly) on an exclusive contract, any other venue will be available for hire. That's the way it goes, but as has already been pointed out, the DJ's and music policy are different, so will attract different people. Especially as Kev doesn't have the Kings Hall on until a full six weeks after the Queens Hall, which is actually in Burslem. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Yes i promote for a living and like a lot of people on this forum make my living from Northern Soul but first and foremost it is a passion. As a promoter/soulie who is out nearly every weekend nationwide i believe its all about choice. Poaching I think not regards Chris W Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
