Is anyone after a decent RnB night in Sheffield?
What would be your type of RnB - the heavier gangsta type or the chilled out, blissful type (or possibly a mix)?

I'm putting together an RnB night and wondered what peoples views and requests would be.

Sugestions welcome on this thread or via PM.

we deff need an r & b night but better still would be an r and b club i think a mixture of all the r & b would be cool when and where are you thinking of doing this ?

It will be at a club but to start will prolly be a once a month event.

Looking at Feb/March launch if we decide to go ahead.

thats definately a good idea. if you put one on i'll be there for sure

What do you like about RnB nights ruffness?

I think that would be a great idea! A definite mix of the music would be best in my opinion, can make it both a chilled out and an upbeat party atmosphere!

There's plenty of great songs out there (that you havent heard a million times on the radio) so no chance of even needing to repeat the songs in a night or having to worry what to play!

well personally i too like a mixture of new tunes and classics. I like the bangers that go down well on the dancefloor as well as the smooth and chilled out stuff, so i'm pretty easy to please. haven't see any r and b nights on in sheffield for a while though so i reckon one would go down well...

if you need anyone to wagwarn ya up on a bit of bump n grindy stylie then me and the booty birds willbe there!! ha ha, what the hell am i goin on about???? XXX

you mean like the ICE bar?

The thing about RnB nights is they tend to attract the "bad boy" croud. The last populer RnB night (the Q at element) was shut down due to the shooting. So be warned.

ladies love the bad boy thing though, not the shootings though. remember there has been shootings at niche - not RnB and Fez (stabbing) which is more chilled house. So really - you get it anywhere.
RnB makes me think cool, big black man grooving inthe corner looking fine;) but you tend to get mr Rude white wide boy too, who are always good to giggle at:hihi:

the image of rnb and assumptions that come with it really annoy me.

i ran a very successful weekly rnb night that ran for 2 years (closed due the club itself closing), and we only had one night of trouble where the police were called. i was making my statement to the police and as soon as he knew out music policy gave it the old "well, this kind of music.... " blah, blah.

we ran a relaxed dress code, got to know regulars and ran a door where we didn't let in anyone we didn't like the look of - simple as that. we managed to get a weekly crowd of people who understood rnb. a slightly older crowd that grew up with this music being played by their parents, who knew who stevie wonder, marvin gaye etc were, and what they did for the music scene.

i think an rnb night in sheffield may be needed for people who don't want to hear the commercial rnb-compilation cd tracks. but i think it would all be down to the right dj creating the right atmosphere with tracks we remember, not hear on commercial radio every day - at least twice!!

Noted.
I am aware about what happened at Q and security will be an issue that I will take forward with the club.
Everyone will be searched prior to entry come hell or high water.
