Something (not sure what) is stopping me click on any events that I don't know about, whereas on the old system I was often reading events threads that I had never heard of. I suggest your next poll question to be 'Do you think the old 'Events' system was - a) Better b) Worse c) Just as good. I feel for you on this one Mike because I know at 'your end' it's working fine, but for me and it seems many others, it's not - and I still can't put my finger on why either! Just a suggestion. All the best, Len

Yes, one of many 'musts' that make a successful promotion....and if the 'product' is good, the customer base will grow because of repeat business.......I'm getting a bit carried away there - But it's true. There are so many minor factions that equate to a good promotion, not all are nessersary but no one knows which ones 'have an effect', so all must be done, and the 'before and after' reports are such obvious ones to do. All the best, Len

.......Or Night night Len

Not so sure about 'Doc' - As I said, I would automaticaly read posts made by people I respect........ ....You know I'm joking mate! Len

.....So just to be clear Joan - Do you like the new system or not? All the best, Len

I'm 'well' aware....but I'm getting to enjoy that fact - It must be a 'pleasure / pain' kinda thang .....'tis a dangerious game mind, especially when one is playing with someone that is 'dead from the neck up'....which has happened on occasion ....By the time you read this...etc.... All the best, Len

Ahem! - No it's not, it's because they are good and fill the floor - if played correctly!......(speeded up lol) All the best, Len P.s - Ok, you may have a point, but 'I'm not listening'

I actually can't put my finger on why the new system is worse (It's not sh*t Mike) But for some reason you now only visit the events threads you know about anyway, whereas the old system, somehow 'drew you in' to events that you were unaware of. Maybe it was to do with what 'Doc' touched apon, that if say on the front page Mr / Mrs 'Someone I knew / heard of / respected' had quoted something, I would automaticaly want to read what it was, thus making you aware of a venue. Len

Genuine consensus - It's now sh*t Mike - Change it back ...and for the benefit of this strange two dimensional world - That was me being facetious for the sake of it. I do hope you have a sense of humour in there somewhere Mike....I await my second warning.... All the best, Len

...and a very good read it was to - Well done "With the old system, if people i respected were talking about new nights I'd be sure to try it out" - That's a very good point, it gave a venue a 'seal of approval' and was worth over a ton of the b*llshit put on threads by some - I also take notice as you have described, but never actualy achknowledged that fact until you did just that (if that makes sense) Ref your 'last point' - Yes, it's the effect of 'over kill'.....but 'a level' will be found just as soon as the folk that do it for the wrong reasons (glory / 'The lights and the applause') don't get that 'fix' and get bored - as the realisation sets, that the 'real' Soul Scene 'don't get fooled'........It's not long now my friend..... All the best, Len

Ooooo, you really should do, 'tis much fun...Just set your alarm clock for really early in the morning so you can edit before anyone sees - Oh the 'Cyber shame' - It can be unbearable at times! .....But ya keep 'coming back for more' - "For more baby" (Just 'keeping it real' there) Hope ya well mate. Len .....I'll now read the rest of your post

Yes, that figures.....'Welcome to Northants - Rose of the Shires' Just kidding mate, we're all friends on here (honest) I'll reply your P.M now. All the best, Len

I've heard of 'Overplayed, under played' records (at 'underplayed' nights)....But never the term 'Underplayed overplayed' records...I think I like it Len

Yeh, The Plague was also infectious.......awful record in my book......but at least it cleared the floor which shows you can D.J..... ,,,,Confused? - You will be Len Actually, 'strike that' it's not a bad record, for some reason I was thinking of 'Saxie Russell - Psychedelic Soul' Hey ho - I expect I'm not the only one who's done that...ahem.....

Well after my last Saturday's 'performance' at 'A.Nother' venue, I'd like to ask the exact same question, but in the complete opposite manner Top Tip - Give up D.Jing, it really can be sh*t at times ..... All the best, Len

"Empty Dance Floors Rule Ok".....Aye up Mark, do you remember the 'SILKS' flyers with that statement on mate? lol Len P.s - Sorry about the out of character 'Aye up' - I was just trying to fit in, but it didn't really work - "Chow for now"

Whoa, Whoa! Hold ones horses there - Another one clearing the floors in Northants?....and why wasn't I made aware of this?!!!.......I'm ringing Brian Goucher to establish how to deal with this matter..... All the best, Len

80's - Through the 'Mod route' All the best, Len

TUNE! I know I shouldn't and I'm reaaaaaaly sorry - Guilty pleasures an' all that "Wake up to the Sunshine Girl, do, do, do do" - I'm gonna sing it all afternoon....."Wake up to the Sunshine Girl"...... All the best, Len

No, I don't It was a fun thread mate, and I've 'yet again' learnt that it's just me that has the correct taste in music All the best, Len

Yes, they do need to 'well,well' stock the bar if Mr Rimmer's attending (Bless him) Ok, ok - Maybe that is stated to verify they have achknowledged this does happen and that on 'this night' there will be plenty of beer. I was just asking, how much can there really be said on a 'build up' to an event? - The 'look backs' are more important to people considering going somewhere I suppose. All the best, Len

Taking this thread on a slightly different tangent - I must admit, every so often I’ve been guilty of heavily focusing on the positive about an event, even though for me there has been some negatives, the reason being is that the last thing some events need is negative feedback, because rather than that negative feedback being constructive, sometimes it can cause damage. Yes it’s a bit of ‘propaganda’, but the difference is that I don’t do it because mates are running the event, it’s simply because I believe in an event, and want to encourage ‘first timers’ to attend - I don’t think that’s a major crime. You’re right though, most people have ‘found their level’, and know the places they want to attend now anyway. All the best, Len

Me and Nina danced to 'Al Wilson - Show and Tell', which was lovely. Have a great day. All the best, Len

That's why I like ya Joan All the best, Len
