Make sure YOU love the music that you play and that you RESPECT the dj's that you book and allow them to do their thing. Thats how a venue develops personality. Otherwise you have a bunch of boxed in punters asking for the same old same old and (unlike back in the day) getting no exposure to great tunes that they dont yet know. Consequently becoming a nostalgia crowd who forget that they once danced to stuff they didn't know........and enjoyed it!
Perfectly put Paul.
People seem to forget that EVERY record was a NEW record once.
Personally I think a lot of people just aren't bothered about hearing new stuff. They get lazy. They would much rather have a comfortable pair of old slippers than a brand new pair of designer shoes.
They are just old. End of.
I will never get old.

Im going down to nottingham to the alldayer
The worst thing that can happen is that i will spend the day at an alldayer that has cost me £15 plus travel costs
That's very magnanimous of you Darren.
There will however be a lot of folk a bit miffed if they've paid £15 for a ticket and they aren't one of the 'lucky' 1500 who get to see the main man in the flesh so to speak.

If i've got any of the above answers wrong, I'm sure I'll be back on here to inform you of any changes.
Are you one of the promoters then? Sure as hell looks like it.
You are the only person answering anyone's questions
Oh... and are you saying that once you've sold your 1500 tickets that's it?

Well as I see it, if they had come on here and said 'Sorry No Falcons' folks would have been asking more questions than are being asked now and probably asking for a refund. Come on here and say 'Sorry No Falcons but we have Little Anthony & The Imperials instead'. The price of the tickets was set at £15 before LA joined the line up, it's not very professional to put the price up to £20/£30 is it ? Everything in place and set in stone seems a better move before announcing any changes.
1500 ticket sales, could potentially sell 3000 to fill the whole venue, but then a lot wouldn't get to see the live artists, BUT....not everyone likes/wants to see live artists. 3000 tickets sales and the show being relayed on big screens in the other rooms could have worked......and then maybe folks would stop asking questions on how the promoters were going to foot the bill
Are the tickets for those who aren't interested in seeing the live act going to be cheaper then?
Like you have so rightly said. Not everyone likes/wants to see live artists. Maybe if you have a two tier pricing system
a: you might sell more tickets
b: you might avoid a riot if you end up selling more tickets than the amount of people who can actually see the live act 'live'.
I know if I had forked out £15 for a ticket, only to find out on the day that I couldn't actually get in to see the live act, I would be mighty pissed off.
And no amount of TV screens in the other rooms would make up for that fact. Not if I had paid the same amount as those people in the main room.

FOR PURE DETROIT YOU CANT BEAT ANDRE WILLIAMS ,AWESOME TRACK IMO,LOVE CLARENCE JACKSON BUT INCREDIBLE RECORD.NO MYSTERY ON THE WHITE DEMOS EITHER .
BAZ A
I have two out of the three... Clarence Jackson and Andre Williams.
Always wanted a copy of the Fabulous Apollos, as this was always my favourite.
Still want one, but like I said before, Clarence has recently pipped the Fab lads to take number one spot for me!

I think some are makeing it out to be far harder than it is,personaly really enjoy it.
I have to say I couldn't do it.
My one and only brush with promoting was probably the most stressful thing I have ever done. And that was a one-off event that was free to get in!
You have to be ruthless to the point of being vicious and I just don't have that in me I'm afraid.
Saying that, I am so glad so many people are suited to it. Long live promoters!

Makes sense to me...... LAI in exchange for the Falcons, and however that came about is nobodys business but the promoters.
You say you would have bought a ticket for the Falcons
........ well then why didn't you..... been advertised for ages !!!!!!! 
THEN..... you would have had something to bump your gums about but, as you didn't......... 
Are you only allowed to comment if you've bought a ticket then?
Maybe some people might not have the money to buy tickets in advance. You are allowed to pay on the day aren't you?
-
Disagree mate .... think the vocal and lyrics are much better.
Me too. I think it's great.
I have always loved the Fabulous Apollos, but lately have started to love Clarence Jackson more.
Great tune

Yip i think Mick bought John Phillips copy few years ago at Prestatyn Weekender just before John deserted us to
go and sun himself in Brisbane
He also got Phil Kowalski's copy quite recently too (Phil paid £400 for it off Ebay
) Swapped it for the Camero's I think?Will always be an Ion and Cliff Steel tune for me. Awesome.

I actually did a piece of work on this for my degree.
The 45 rpm speed was the only one to be decided by a precise optimization procedure (by RCA Victor in 1948). Calculus was used to show that the optimum use of a disc record of constant rotational speed occurs when the innermost recorded diameter is half the outermost recorded diameter. That's why a 7-inch single has a label 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Given the CBS vinyl groove dimensions and certain assumptions about the bandwidth and tolerable distortion, a speed of 45 rpm comes out of the formula.

Yes.....I got Steves copy...fantastic double sider
Absolutely fantastic record. In fact, it was the only one of Steve's tunes I really wanted.
I know a lad from Preston, Billy Kinder, used to have one. That was where I first heard it. Must be 15 years ago now.
He sold his collection to Steve Plumb. Who in turn sold a load to Soul Sam I think.
Neither one can recall this record though? But he definitely had one.
.I think you have made a good point thou its not for everyone especialy if you are easily upset.

He loves all this stuff, but once he'd posted he felt that he had to put that post up to make it look like he couldn't give a shit
