well for the second month numbers were down to about 30+.Its surprising how after months of steady growth,getting an average of 60+ and a high in january of 80 this has happened.I could list the excuses , it was a wet night,no students in town and getting together soul night on the saturday as in a rescession a lot cant afford two nights out on a weekend but to be honest even in a soul backwater we should be able to get 50 out in a city the size of bristol ....shouldnt we ?....(ive since heard from other promoters most of bristol was dead friday night...i also went to getting together which was also quiet with less 'soulies ' than us although with locals a bigger crowd...slightly !)
...but it was their loss, those that were there had a good time and there was some great music played.My £9 version of wade flemmons that other place by susan maughn had people asking about it but to me it was john stapletons $4 baby be mine by the sweet delights that stood out alongside another cheapie ,garage/soul 'pushing too hard' by the seeds and the more expensive 'headache in my heart' by the debonaires on a mint uk track promo ,both spun by my friend jack.Musically last night was a much more soulful night with no british beat and only a couple of reggae.
Abig thanx to those who supported us especially those from wales,weston, radstock and cheltenham early on even our small venue was a bit of a goldfish bowl with only a few dancin but by the last hour and a half people were up,my friend jack finishing this month at 1.15 with everyone still there out on the floor.
Next month its a birthday party for nicci and myself,there will also be copies of the third free go go cd to get people thru the door...if it doesnt work then maybe its time for a rethink and the end of go go children....at this venue anyway !
