scottf Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 an old school house night sounds good- especially on a friday or saturday- the only problem is your going to find a venue that needs a new night thats still in the city centre.

Chris BIO Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 These events can only ever really be done as one offs It's not to say don't do them, just don't put yourself in a situation we're you're playing Alison Limerick 3 times a night, you'll need to keep it interesting for yourself as much as the crowd, maybes try to strike a balance between the popular stuff and the connoisseurs choice. Edit: And get Disco on, it'll just save him badgering you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WYEXILE Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Yes, what I meant to say is these events work best as one offs or on a quarterly basis. By no means am I saying don't do it, from the response on here there's clearly a market for it. Don't get Disco on, his idea of a classic is anything played at Hed Kandi circa 2002 :hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johndixon Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Thanks for your feedback guys:) I agree that keeping a flow of up to date house would definately be beneficial as the novelty of old skool classics would wear off slightly if played one after another for hours on end. By dropping them in every so often provides that little build up between each one, also providing that element of surprise for the old skool classics to go down a real treat. I know this from past experiences of playing out...YOU CAN'T BEAT A BIT OF THE OLD SKOOL!!! Which do you think would be best suited for this type of night...Friday or Saturday???

scottf Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 definately saturday- a saturday night when most of the 'older' people come out that know this music better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
