Oops, can't think why I assumed vectis was male.   I've never been to the Seaford club so I am unaware whether the prevailing attitude to young people is sufficiently unpatronising - and thus mightily different from that prevailing in the vast majority of old fart clubs - to make them even want to go again.

In most cases, they'd be far better off following Dan Abnormal's advice and setting their own. And you really shouldn't blame them - though you probably will - if they make you as unwelcome as you have made them feel in yours. (Hope they'll still let me in though...)

Yeah, Serious Kitchen are fantastic, as are Mawkin. Right. I think we've established that traditional music played by young people is live and well in Essex.
