Back in the 80s I saw The Pogues for £5 and went to a rock festival featuring Bob Dylan, Santana, Nick Lowe and UB40 (with unannounced appearances from Eric Clapton and Van Morrison) for £17. Meanwhile I read a recent article (can’t recall where – “cybernesia” strikes!) in which it was noted that various pseudo-prole channels were complaining about snooty classical concerts that “cost a fortune” without noting that currently it was actually considerably cheaper to get into a Beethoven or Mahler gig than one by Beyoncé or Taylor Swift.
