I see the poor youngsters ending up as fodder for audiences of ageing folkies drooling over the memories of when they were themselves like once upon a time.


Well, there was a really good mix of ages last Thursday in a sizeable audience ranging in age from Tom's younger brother (12ish) through to our doorman who is about 70. There were young couples, older couples, groups of youngsters, men and women came on their own..... I am not sure what George means by "fodder for audiences of ageing folkies". Surely people of every age group have the right to listen to the music they like? If you've looked at the comments and the photos on the link, you'll see and read that there were young people there in the audience - including another teenager playing a floor spot. Neither is this the first time that we have booked teenagers as guests in recent times. There was a trio of schoolboys not long ago and we were very early on the scene in booking the Askews when they were teenagers.
