On a positive note I took my youngest daughter ( she,s 24 ) to a soul night and she was amazed at the atmosphere the freindlyness , the fact she didnt witness any trouble suprised her .
She was facinated that the dancefloor was always full and that middle aged people could dance till the early hours and at the end of the night still be hanging about chatting .
On a personel level I wont drink at a soul venue I dont associate drink and soul together .
