Now I understand- I owe jedimaster an apology and he has it.Or he will when he comes on line again.
As for over 30, I agree but if you and I went in Leons club I think the noise would blow us out of the doors-it wouldn't need the bouncers. Different ages want different entertainment. Accyweb isn't a representative cross section of Accrington.
I never did the club scene(and have no plans to start at this advanced stage of my life)....but I have been to music concerts.
And yes different ages do tend to want different entertainment, but I think that when catering for a communtiy event, you have to be broad enough to bring in a variety of ages.
And I take your point about Accyweb not being truly representative.....but most of us boring old birds have friends and family who are younger(and possibly more vibrant) I don't know anyone in my circle of associates who went to this Switch on event.
I don't doubt what Leon says about it being a success, I'm sure the peole who went had a very nice time. And what succeeds one year tends to be replicated the next year and so on....so it becomes a bit staid and stale.
