A good post this, I left the scene, mostly due to work commitments, over 10 years ago and have not been to an event since, well, apart from popping my head in the door at the Cleethorpes Weekender 2 years ago. Occasionally I miss it as now I have more time on my hands but I have yet to get the urge to go out. Bear in mind I was very active on the soul scene with regular trips down south (from Edinburgh), sometimes every week and I never thought I could ever do without the scene, how times and feelings change? I am still an avid collector of vinyl and I am a nosy git staying on SS and various soul stuff on FB to keep up-to-date but that'll do for me, for now.
