Each to their own , take from the music what you can and enjoy it, if local soul nights playing oldies is your thing do it , other people would sooner travel to hear records still been broken or records only played by a select few on ovo .
Nobody is right or wrong just two different ideas on the way the scene fulfils their life.
Still don,t get the dressing up thing that seems to go on at a lot of these oldies nights though
All the best for Christmas and the New Year.
