UK Radio 2 target audience is now our age; they play oldskool dance tracks fairly often in the evening. Radio 3 probably has the oldest or widest age profile; but as I explained to this young woman on .org whilst there are plenty of our parents generation still partying appearing on reality TV doesn’t do their reputation any good and they are parents and grandparents.

Many of these 60+ folk are the ones keeping festivals running and venues with late night opening licenses. There’s loads of them on the hobby electronics / tech communities but they often depend on contract work to supplement their retirement pensions so reputation matters.

I did suggest she tried Saga forum but they are trying to protect their reputation following negative publicity about “saga louts”; and the festival organisers don’t want to be branded as ageing hippies as it makes things difficult for them with licensing .I even know of someone who would have been ideal but she has been very unwell recently and a trip to London as well as all her other treatment (added to the other issues) would be too much for her.
