In the week leading upto saturday nights go go id had messages from maybe a dozen people who couldnt make it this month.Reasons ranged from moving house,babysitting problems,working,saving for soulfusion or the bristol rnb all nighter tonite or skint after last weeks sandford scooter rally.On top of that we didnt get any passing trade like other months as we are situated just off one of the main walks into town.All in all numbers were well down on recent months with only 40 + through the doors,this was our smallest crowd since starting 14 months ago.
Despite this the club only holds 100 so we werent rattling around and we had a great atmosphere as always,we carried on 10 minutes after time and had people up dancin all nite till the last tune.
Everyone i spoke to said they had a good time and would be back including half a dozen new faces and a few we hadnt seen since last summer.
Musically i think it was one of the better nights with all the djs playing new spins , i only played 4 tunes id played at this venue before and finally found the right moment to play wilson picketts 'let me be your boy'..a soul tune with ska guitar which i started my second set off with after my friend jack had played some killer bluebeat and ska,one of which he bought for 37p from a youth club in 1977 !...worth a bit more now i think....
After recent noise complaints from neighbours the landlord nige had been a bit touchey when the volume crept up but since last month aswell as new beers he had the system wired up different using speakers that face away from the smokers exit hes also having some biulding work done on the smokers terrace before next month which hopefully means no more complaints and hopefully we can push the end time just a little more in upcoming months...we also had a new mixer so the sound was top notch.
So despite numbers being down we covered costs and everyone had a good time, a big thanx to all who helped make it so especially bernie and dave from weston and matt from trowbridge....roll on next month...
