are club nights dying?!

are club nights dying?!

With tidy weekenders 3 times a year and the BIG summer events coming up like global etc...have club nights died?

answers on a post card to the usual address...or use the poll...

simple answer... no

I dont think club nights are dying at all, some nights are going downhill through bad promotion etc but clubland is doing OK at the moment in my opinion.

I am going to start the I agree with Jimmy thread coz everything he says I agree with

its 6 of 1 and half a dozen of the other.

its all in equilibrium like the good and dark sides of the force.

One persons loss is anothers gain

Sundiss go downhill Polysexual go uphill

Quality go downhill Promise go back uphill

it ebbs and flows even with small nights one week is packed the next is thin on the ground

People are a lot more picky these days

The club scene will always be there, it's had it's ups and downs and will continue to do so till we all stay in.

nah, nights are getting bigger and better imo littler known djs are making an impression and clubs are more willing to take a few chances, bit more variety is needed in some places but clublands very strong at the moment

Re: are club nights dying?!

Does the fact that Tidy is only 3 times a yr (one every FOUR months), GKGG & Creamfields only ONCE a yr, whereas things like GK is weekly, Promise (soon to be fortnightly), Crasher etc are monthly , not give you a clue???

Re: Re: are club nights dying?!

plus the amount of times passion is on, turnmills, goodgreef (3 club nights, north gathering, tours) and promise and goodgreef come together events...


.....actually yeah its dieing

no way, i think the whole of clubland is looking rather good at the moment acually

not this fucking thread again.... every 3 months some one posts a thread asking this........

boring.....

Re: Re: are club nights dying?!

GK has always been weekly, promise used to be weekly, crasher used to be weekly, renaisance and cream used to be regular too... golden went to the dogs... slinky is apparently pikey central... and always used to be RAMMED...

shindig isnt as full as it used to be, the birthday didnt sell out with a very good line-up....

i think to a certain degree yes some club nights are dying... whereas others are still going strong - fabric, bugged out, red light, sankeys, basics etc.

clubs dont seem as busy as they used to be for whatever reason... im not saying they are dead, im saying somethings changed...

No way is it dying IMO. Still plenty of top nites about

no

no but soon will if tidy has its way putting on 2 magnas and 2 ta 3 weekenders a year plus a tidy summer camp its what you call over kill and now a tidy scotland no wounder the harder thing is dyeing its tidy trying to turn shit the way they want it and its killing or way ov life but some hh wont ave nowt said bout tidy dnt no y like there were good but now shit there trance/hard dance any one that dosent belive me bett ya ive got more ticket stubbs then any one with them playing on a night ive been 2. And im tidy throw and throw but come on even frantic is harder then tidy now days THATS SAYING SOME THING

Re: no

but at the end of the day, even if there was a big event every other week, not every1 would go all the time, cos they're seen as big events that you have to save up for and are seen as a special occasion etc...

imo club nights and big events are v diff things and just because theres more/less of one i wouldn't do the other less/more.

Things seem to be going back " underground" to me. More free partys. Nights in Smaller venues. Poeple putting on mates rather than bigname deejays.imo

I think the Trance and Hardhouse boom of a few years ago is slowing down and something will come in to replace it .imo


Not sure what that will be yet.

what will replace it

James the answer is you me and dodgy (only joking)

People are bored with seeing the same djs week in week out

there is more diy culture going on now than i ever seen in the last 10 years and the small dirty nights are doing well.

They aint charging (much) and putting their mates on who quite frankly I would rather see than the judge for the zillionth time

True he has his place, but people want something different

As long as people still want to party there will be a scene.

the only watchout I would see is people should be careful that the small intimate venues in newcastle (fiddla, cottage liquid etc,) dont get overplayed as too much of a good thing is a bad thing

There are a hell of a lot of nights on at the fiddla now (which aint a bad thing but if something happens too often people become bored)

GREAT

I want razzmataz not some mate of a mate playing tune's in his 'INSERT RECORD LABEL HERE" t-shirt.

If this "MATES" thing continues I may as well just go round to Fosters house with a slab, a litre of voddie & 8 cans of bull.

I WANT A NIGHT OUT WITH ZILLION'S OF MATES & BAGFULLS OF PEOPLE I HAVE NEVER MET BEFORE NOT SOME GLORIFIED HOUSE PARTY.

thats the trouble with humour spence you cant tell we were joking from the post.
That foster thing sounds good to me.
How many new people do you really met when you go out spence (and stay friends with) I kind of got the impression most of your mates were on here.
