Hi hesk

I agree with you entirely. I cannot understand why so many people are so died-in-the-wool ungrateful if the music being watched/heard is not of their particular choosing.

Like everybody I have my own particular likes and dislikes but I am always prepared to watch other people with different ones.

As you say it is particularly obtuse if the performers are unpaid and doing their best.

Performers need support, not churlish indifference or worse still outright objection by a ( thankfully ) minority of people.

The real worry for me is that in my experience most of the moaners do not actually play or perform themselves.

Cheers
