How striking the contrast between the last two posts above (not counting Anahata who has just negated my last paragraph!)

It is extraordinarily patronising to describe any young person as a 'youngster' and concede one or two a few grudging words of stinted approval, still less when they are undergraduates on a demanding and tough course. Besides, they're not that 'young', if age be considered a criteria as many graduates and still on the course are so-called 'mature' students.

ANY MUSICIAN, not just Sage alumni, who is getting on with playing to those who'd rather chew their own limbs off than go to a 'f*lk club' is getting it right.
It's the large proportion of begrudging and blinkered denizens of the outdated 'clubs' who need to get out more and discover what is actually occurring musically.
