Seems like the hardcore U/W fans, those who like sophisticated soundscapes and lyrics are not many, obviously not even to fill the RFH.
Members of the South Bank Centre are not automatically people with certain musical or art maturity. Maybe that's why they felt they need to please with a floor-filler.



"Southbank Centre passionately believes the arts have the power to transform lives.", says the website.
Well, maybe there is some homework left to do. To learn people how to listen and enjoy music as art could be one.

Pretentious patronising nonsense. It was a far more enjoyable atmosphere and therefore gig than if the room had been full of seated chin strokers musing about the nuances of the wind sounds in Skyscraper.
