Hi Magpie
When Godin was encouraging spread the faith, that was then when NS was bursting through as a Musical force on the back of the 1960,s Soul and RnB scene, it had not at that time evolved to the Scene that probably hit its heights, and this is subjective around the late 1980,s and early 90,s it then in some cases fracture, became watered down , diluted and a caricature of its former self, not for everybody, but to people coming in to the NS at that time they would have had maybe a different outlook than a lot of us on here and it obviously doesn’t and wouldn’t reach the heights we experienced in our time , So Godin and everybody else didn’t really know where NS would end up in 2024, I can only take a guess that Godin would have been in agreement with a lot of the reaction to the way NS has made its journey.
PS,for All promoters switch off most off the lights in your venue, keep all doors closed and turn up the volume on the music, it’s simple and it works.
