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.

Excuse me Margaret -as a boring old bird myself, who like your good self enjoys Elbow and Cold-Play, perhaps we should consider ourselves more and push for what we like too....we aren' that far off the mainstream -just a bit more up-market and there's nothing wrong in that at all. No more apologies - power to the ladies!
