Subject: RE: Why I won't be seeing the Unthanks
Alf and Sadie at Sidmouth...mebbe the Ham marquee should set up a mosh pit for the cloggers?

Unthanks music is variable to me. Just like many artists. There is stuff I love, stuff I like and stuff I say Nothanks to.

The girls did a brill (very sensitive) job on the BBC documentary on English trad dance late last year. For that they get a thumbs up from me. And I am neither English nor dancer.

signed - Tamara from Virginia USA with no sense of rhythm (i.e. having a collection of other peoples left feet over which I have no control).

p.s. If ever I want to attend a concert that is standing only, I will explain my physical limits and request a folding chair. If refused (which I think unlikely) then I will take the matter to the performer's management and finally to the performers themselves.

p.p.s. As to the matter of not planning for the older physically limited fan, please start writing to the performers. They need to know that either management or venues are selecting their audiences for them.
