When I was a wee boy in the fifties we had weekly concerts in our little school.....everybody came to them and everyone who could sing, play an instrument or recite took their turn to entertain.
I remember that it was magic, tears and laughter, and all who performed did their very best....sometimes the poorest singers got the loudest applause, because they put their heart and soul into it.

I went to a concert lately where some groups were playing in another village and it was dire.....no connection, people talking and making a noise.....The emotion seems to have gone from the music, nobody was asked to join in choruses of the very few songs on the programme, sometimes it all works in reverse.
