    If the promoters of said soul nights agreed to shut shop at 1.00 a.m. latest then I'd say everybody would be a winner....but it'll never happen will it :lol: .

    Also, its very difficult to get an allnighter at a decent venue as it is, to only want to book from midnight onwards has an impact on the venues business in respect of staffing hours/bar takings/room hire fee etc

    What do I know anyway...

    You boys knock yourselves out :thumbsup:

    True, but since licensing hours changed some soul nights now go on till 3.00 a.m. etc so who would travel to an allnighter afterwards?

    You have a point sir... hadn't really considered the licensing hours.

    Then again... with all nighters that used to start around midnight now starting as early as 8pm... I would imagine your smaller, early do's will have had to do something like that to stand a chance of competing against the said larger venues?

    I know I'm probably in the minority who thinks this... but if all nighters were to go back to starting at midnight... wouldn't that give the promoters of your local soul night a better chance of success?

    Soul night's had much more of a chance of doing well when all nighters were exactly that... all nighters.

    And by that I mean when they used to start at midnight.

    These days... by starting earlier... 8pm or whatever... all nighter's are now both soul nite and niter... a bit unfair imo.

    No doubt some will say it's just business... and that all they are doing is offering a service to punters... and that punters are free to go to other early do's if they so wish.

    But how many people are willing... or able... to pay to get into two venues when they can just pay the once?

    Like I said... it's all a business now... and as with all business's... the small get pushed out.

    Call me an old fuddy duddy if you wish... but this is one example of when it definitely was better in the good old days... when soul music wasn't looked on as 'business' :lol:

    This is an old hat,

    But you got to understand that the scene is split into rare music venues that people travel for the music ie Burnley,lifeline,DDA ect.Then we have the social scene where people like a drink meet up with their friends and their music needs to be know to them and there is loads of these about in the north some just a few miles apart.All these venues when you speak to the hosts have good reasons for there dates and venues.However there is very few that are willing to travel these days same faces that do,I m trying to go to Amlwch Sat and I live in Yorkshire so will prob past 15 dos on route which is mad really.

    I m knacked so if this seems not to make sense well good night,

    Andy

    You may well be mad... but not as mad as Amlwch! :huh:

    You will have fun... I promise :huh:

    Quick Update....

    Brad's op went well, he was awake all the way through and no doubt asking if he could look through the hospital radio library....he's been asking the nurses where the bar is :thumbsup:

    he'll be chuffed no end by your good wishes

    He'll be fine... just as long as that MRSA doesn't get him! :thumbsup:

    Seriously... my Tony had two complete hip replacements last year... and I'm not exaggerating when I say this... it has been nothing less than a miracle.

    To see someone suffer the pain that he did for over ten years was so hard I can't begin to tell you.

    Then to see him pain free... literally over night... still makes me a little teary eyed even now.

    There is a down side though... where as before... because he couldn't walk... where ever you left him was where you would find him...

    Now I've no chance!!

    Tell him all the best from us will you Tony? x

    I can't believe people are moaning about paying £12 or whatever to get into a venue...

    That works out at what... £1.50 an hour for a niter?

    Jeez... there's something seriously wrong with you people.

    He did - working on the Potts record stall. Snr and Jnr working as a double team were formidable...I know - I was on the stall next to them at Prestatyn :D Tommy got his own tunes and often beat Ady off with a stick to get them - being taught by a master always give you an edge. Much to his dismay, Ady was often thwarted by his own creation - son of record dealer :D

    I had a pretty good collection by 15 - I'd been accumilating vinyl since I was 9. My 2 brothers were 17 and 19 when I was 9 and I had no trouble 'acquiring' records off their mates - always easy as most of them were off their heads on gear and would do anything to get rid of an irritating 9 year old :) Plus, I worked as a Saturday girl in a record shop from 13 - and I badgered school mates and asked them to see what vinyl their parents had stashed away. At 15, I got 'Club Ska 67' on Wirl for 50p off one girl and her dad gave me a carrier bag of singles to go with it....Golden Crab, Pama, Doctor Bird - all a bit scuffed but I was made up....a right result. And so on and so on.....Jo

    Jeez... wished I'd had a job on that market stall... and a dad who was into something other than 'Paddy McGuinty's Goat' and 'Those Crystal Chandaliers'...

    God... I bear those scars to this day :D

    I think Tommy is very in tune with the supply and demand, he knows what to look for and how to sell it.

    Absolutely... Tommy has fantastic taste.. as does Mr. Potts snr. :thumbsup:

    What I was getting at was... at the age of 15... surely there's no way anyone could have been earning the kind of money it would take to buy records of that quality?

    I was in no way having a pop at anybody... just an observation.
