Well it had to happen. I just booked tickets to see Fairport Convention. As we are all over 60 we got a concessionary price, £21 each instead of £23.
 
Maybe this should be in the deals forum?????
 
 

I'd like to see them. I somehow missed FC back 'in the day' but I found them later through Iain Matthews and Richard Thompson. Valley Hi is still in my regular rotation, I love Old Man at the Mill. He does it very well.
I hope you enjoy the show. The lineup (from their site) looks good.

Went to the cinema last year with the missus, asked for two adult tickets. Girl at the desk said ''Adult or senior concession?''
 
I'm 55...

Decades ago, my mother was in the habit of sending me a check for my birthday. $1 for each year. When I turned 30, I got a check for $30 with a little "Happy 30th!" in the memo field.
 
I took the check to the bank to deposit it (yes, that was necessary back in the tech stone age). The teller was a nice young girl, still short of her 20th. I handed her the check and the deposit slip. She looked at the check, saw the memo field, and said something like the following to me:
 
"Oh, I'm so sorry."
 
Grrrrrrr. Right when I was damn tired of being 20-something.

When people ask my age I say "depends".

When people as my age I say "depends".

Right now you could answer "A bit short of eight."
 
If they don't know what a byte is or how many bits are in one, that's their problem!

When I saw YES a couple of years ago, here in the Casino in Oregon, it was the greatest convention of seniors and uglies I ever encountered. I kept thinking this was Halloween and everyone was dressing like Steve Howe! He could pose for the skeleton in the Grateful Dead's piccies!
 
I have a feeling that Grace Slick was right when talking about the "geriatric hippies" ... but some of these folks are young at heart ... Daevid Allen being one of the best examples! See the GONG Un-Convention ... even Steve Hillage comments on it.

I heard FC got a concessionary price on the hire of the venue...
