Dr Nookie is a 'well known member'?
Have there been a spate of name changes recently?
I want to change my name just like them: where do I get the proper form to fill out?

The main venue by me won't even let you out for a fag! The bastards lied to me a while ago when I went to see The Specials there and told me the support was on at 7:30... I got there to find there was no support, trapped for over 3 hours, standing up, listening to someone play tunes I'd got at home and drinking/spilling beer from shit wobbly glasses

Is that new fangled parlance for there were lots of blokes there? Or maybe lots of Germans? Daschunds maybe?

I don't think the gender split is much different to how it ever was with the kind of bands I go to see, and is probably slightly biased towards men. I don't get to as many gigs as I like because we live in the sticks and work long hours, but I still go to around one a month, with a few festivals thrown in over the year.
I don't enjoy gigs as much as I used to because almost everything seems to be at the Academy, which attracts fuckwits who won't stop talking to each other, or watching it through their phones rather than with their eyes, and is a grim venue with crap beer.
Most of the women I know go to Take That once a year - when they're in town the office empties!

I am interested in why the audience for (non-classical) instrumental music seems to be so overwhelmingly male - more so than rock/metal. The only explanation I've heard is "women need vocals/lyrics to relate to" which is bollocks. There must be some other sociological thing going on there.

It's because it's mostly made by and for muso male hobbyists.

The realisation that getting groped by old men just isn't as appealing as it used to be?

aimless
By - yes, mostly but not entirely
For - maybe by default, but not intentionally
But why is it mostly men who are into music in that way? The same reason it's mostly men who are into trainspotting?

IME people, men and women, find it a lot more difficult to keep going to gigs after having children. Me and Mrs Bears used to go to loads of gigs together before we became parents, both in our small town and in bigger venues in Manchester, Leeds etc where we had to stay over after the gig. These days, one of us could stay in and the other could go out to a gig but TBH we don't really want to as it would feel a bit odd to do it without the other person being there too, it would seem a bit selfish. Much easier to go to festivals and see a ton of music over one weekend, and children can enjoy it too.

It's hard to say without generalising but men are perhaps more socialised into spending hours on their own tinkering with bits of hardware and software (or "fixing" their car, doing unspecified things in the shed, fishing).

But then you have an early morning featuring a hangover, a leaking Eurohike, heavy rain and an angry toddler in a very very very small plasttic space. This has cost you £200.I can only appear to write in Bold atm for which I apologise.
