Gotta stick with Doug on this one as far as music is concerned. He is playing what the majority of folk ask for, i've been there at the booth when requests come in. People will always complain that a club is not to thier liking, rubbish music, people too young etc etc. it has always been the same at every rock club in Dundee from Angels, Jaspers, Ceasers, Kerosene, Swamp, Cage, Coalesce and the newer ones.
Look at Kerosene when it was the main rock club, we played skunk anansie, radiohead, REM along with a lot of other indie/rock hits of the day whih the metallers never liked, but we also played heavier stuff too. It is what a mainstream club HAS to do. It's just fuckin' lucky we have specialised nights on Fridays to cater for specific genres of the metal/rock/goth/punk crowd. Dundee has never had that before.
Times change folks, yes you get older and the new kids get younger and they like music you don't. Ya gotta live with it people and adapt.
As for the underage thing, that is entirely down to security who are an outside firm and it is their responsibility, not the clubs and not the DJ's.
The neds issue is a different matter, we don't have a policy on entry of NO NEDS but I agree it does stir up shit when they come in.So may have to look at that one.
