Andy Roberts mailed to draw attention to something of interest. Have you seen the Capsule forum recently on the subject of  local audiences? The forum comments raise some interesting issues and some of the comments make interesting reading.

Andy has added a comment already, you are invited to do the same. He said it’s a disappointment to see so many negative comments about attendances at gigs in Brum, when lately he’s been to a number of really well attended local shows. Not the case always, but he suggests it’s really creating an imbalanced view of the city’s music scene. What do you think?
