  I've been feeling rather old at concerts for quite a while and have 
long since given up jumping about with 15-year olds at the front. I 
try to retain my dignity (and cool!) by nodding appreciatively at the 
back, as befits a 30-year old with excellent taste in music. I saw 
Belle and Sebastian play the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh earlier this 
year and the first thing that struck me was the amount of 
late-twenties and 30-somethings who were there. I wouldn't go so far 
as saying that the average of the band was lower than the average age 
of the crowd, but it _was_ a nice change!
