The Bass from Soul Control’s legendary PA System wasn’t as loud and powerful as it was at DJ Case and The Twins Birthday Ball, but it was still enough to make my knees tremble!! The tunes that were played were mostly well known tracks from back in the day. The crowd were in their element, but that's not to say that some people weren't enjoying themselves!! The Soul Inspired Arena was way too full and there was a different crowd and atmosphere compared to the birthday bash which I suppose is understandable because this was a full on paid event.
The waiting time at the bar downstairs was again up to half-an-hour and wasn’t helped by the fact the staff were writing down peoples drinks orders and shoving calculators in their faces with the price to pay!! It just created problems as there was no proper queuing system which wound people up!!! The manager should have known from the last event that there were going to be unique demands on the bar and he should have staffed it accordingly!!! What I didn’t get was why were there staff standing outside the toilets when they were needed at the bars? The Moso Moso bar staff situation was ridiculous, but I have it on good authority that Moso have been told in no uncertain terms from Soul Control that never again will understaffed bars and the way they were operated be tolerated!!! And when Soul Control says something, they mean business!!!
I don’t think the management realised that Soul Control were playing otherwise they would have known what to expect!!! The bar and the fact the Soul Control Arena was too full because the entire Soulful House crowd abandoned their Arena to witness the Soul Control experience was a major let-down for Soul Inspired and because of this some of the regular Soul-Heads weren’t feeling it. What a difference it would have made if the crowd were equally spread throughout Moso Moso, but is there anything that could compete with Soul Control in the same venue?
Soul Control Verdict:
Overall all the DJ’s played well considering the massive crowd. If Soul Control are to do another event over the festive period, they can rectify the failings of this night by finding another venue (MEN Arena) to fit all us Soul-Heads in, because when Soul Control play, they come larger than large… too large for a 1000 capacity venue!!!!
