Holmfirth Picturedrome hosts many 70 s and 80s bands, with the Damned, The Stranglers, Bad manners and a few others springing readily to mind. They also have a few excellent tribute bands,most memorably an AC/DC one called Livewire, who last year teamed up with a ZZ Top tribute. The place was rammed with middle aged bald men wearing Levi's and black t shirts over their beer guts.I for one am relieved to hear that you still like what you used to like when you were younger. For many years I have harboured the theory that as soon as you hit a certain age, you suddenly start liking Herb Alpert and his Tijuana Brass. No amount of emersing myself in my collection of 70s punk, 80s Two Tone and 90s REM stuff has been able to prevent me from nervously watching for the first signs of foot tapping when Acker Bilk's "Stranger on the Shore" comes on the radio. I guess there is still the chance that I will go to my twilight care home still delighting in the sound of The Jam and Eddy and the Hotrods after all. Come to think of it, those places will probably be full of tattooed old-timers listening to 70's Prog Rock or heavy metal in the communal sitting rooms. All the visiting kiddies will think of it all as "old people's music" in the same way as we did of our parents' Doris Day albums.
