Is there really any need for that? I think you're responding to a statement I haven't actually made.I'm sorry, but that statement is rubbish - artists will literally play anywhere for the right money - Stockton, Singapore, in a tent in the middle of the Desert
There'll be a lot of shows like that as they cater for everyone (and bring some money in) which is fair enough. Look at some of the dross the town hall puts on. There will be a lot of theatrical shows as well Im sure given the owners.FFS is this what we have waited so long for. Pretty poor really. Music for people who are not really bothered about music. IMHO
I'm sure there were similar music purists around in the 60's condemning the popular music acts of the day.
I'm sure there was.
A lot of them will have pointed out that popular doesn't necessarily mean good. A logic that applies to many things.
I agree entirely.But the definition of 'good' is personal and subjective. I'm sure they will sell enough to fill it and plenty of people will have a grand day out. Personally I'm against musical snobbery, live and let live I say, there's an audience out there for every act (people even pay to watch Sunderland so there must be!).
