I'm an audient rather than a performer, and find this discussion fascinating. Can i throw in a request in the hopes it might spark someone's memory? (I've asked this on another threat, and no one remembered, forgive the repeat.)

A friend told me she heard a piece on English radio about a town where there was a lot of street-fighting. The report was that several of the nightclubs got together and agreed to play a couple of slow sets at the end of each dance, so that the dancers would go out calm and sweet, not revved up - and the result was a startling diminution of the fighting. Did anyone hear this, and can they direct me to the source: the town, the radio programme, anything? (For something I'm writing.)

Incidentally, I'm interested to hear that the sixth piece should be the strongest: I usually find my favourite track on any CD is the sixth, or sometimes the eighth.

One other audience request: if you're selling CDs, say so, and say where they're for sale. Don't be shy. Just say: "Our CDs are for sale in the top left corner of the room - there, and in the bottom right corner - there, if you'd like to buy them." If people like the gig, and haven't spent all their money, they'll be glad to buy.
