Subject: RE: Music of the people..Don't make me laugh
Yes, all of the above comments are true but the majority of the population still don't have "high power" or "professional" occupations. Otherwise, we'd all be loaded with money. ;-)
It just strikes me that many of those involved in the organisational side of things, albeit on a voluntary basis, are quite over qualified for the job.
I'm not suggesting that they are being exclusive nor that they don't love the music (or have a perfect right to do so).
However, their own values will inevitably be reflected as regards booking policies, encouraging new members etc. So, is there a danger of this leading to the promotion of more "high falutin'" and esoteric type of events and a very narrow representation of what is actually available?
