I do certainly agree with sciencegeek about open sings or singarounds infested with Rise Up Singing---I've not been to our open sing for years (ever since that book made its appearance at an open sing).

But I'm pretty sure a singers' night would be only for people who don't read the words off a page--they'd actually know the songs.

And it's definitely not a situation where people sit around and wallow in the 60's--or sing the same songs month after month.
