Seems fairly straight forward: you can't please all of the people all of the time. That the original poster is not going to see them is a pity but understandable in his/her circumstances. I, like Ruth Archer and Spleen like my live music standing up and so would not go to see, for instance, 3DM or The Levellers sitting down.   However ... seeing the Unthanks ... this is a bit of a puzzle as I have never really 'got' them.
