Is it just me, or are some "promoters" just on the scene to get their hands on our money? You know the ones - the one that can afford to place glossy ads etc all over the place and then charging high entry prices and cramming them in?

We are due to run a charity 'do' on 19th March and it seems to me that we can't succeed - it's costing us a fortune and there's a danger that the charity will make nothing if we can't pull in the punters despite a great venue and a fair entry price.

I don't like the huge, slick, soulless venues myself, but what I do love about the scene is the people - the lovely, generous, warm-hearted people - who love the music.

It is being spoiled by attempts to make it a money-spinning business opportunity?

AM I JUST PARANOID?

DOES ANYONE ELSE AGREE?

KATE

can i join in? ...... c*nt ........ f*ck ........ sh*t .......... re*ssue!!

Hey I thought my tiff with ChristianB was good ...drew a good crowd..I think this one may go one better

Nah, can't really see this one going very far, "Dodgy", or whatever his pseudonym is can't even tell us his real name. Attacks under an alias...........what a guy!

Hey dodger seen that a few times, but the lead thread is Kosher and although a bit harsh in your wording this sort of thing does go on have actually seen it myself..

Well Geordie, seeing as you put it like that, in a decent manner, I'll say sorry for my mistaken assumption, it wasn't meant to be unecessarily harsh and I actually don't know my way round this site to check on dates etc.. I don't believe I said that event wasn't on, I was merely questioning it and I don't believe I said I wanted the event to fail did I? Of course I don't, best of luck to it, obviously. It's obviously a crime to defend your friends and I shall update my profile accordingly (I hadn't realised I hadn't done it). No need for the abuse boys, it' ain't big and it ain't too clever. Nowt like making an entrance eh!!!

One Trout, help, they're all attacking me!!!

Cheers

According to the italics at the bottom Win, he's been trying to reply for several minutes!

Something must be distracting him....perhaps that cynic's trying to get into him again

LOL Roger, he can't help seeing as he is me this week

Just skipped through the debate & thought I might stick my 2p in.

The laws of supply & demand are fixed.

They apply to the world of northern soul promotions in exactly the same way as they apply to all other promotions.

Hope that makes things clearer.

Not a crime to defend your mates, but you made an unfounded accusation, which personally I thought was a bit off......and I don't know the original poster either, so wasn't defending any mates for my part. Thanks for providing a name, and apologies for my aggressive post.

The reason my name was in italics was that I was updating me profile and sorting out an avatar. No need to apologise whatsoever Winnie.
