Keith! Alexandra is my sister! I'm Alexander her brother!
John H G: nice to know you are for the idea, although, mind, a theatre/concert hall could be used also by local acting groups, be it theatre or music, the sort of people who, say in a grioup of five or even ten members, would be happy to put together a hundred pounds for say three performances of two hours each. So a fiver per person to enter, times three in one day, would give the same performing group sufficient revenue, and leave a handsome sum for the owner of the structure, for example a Dover Council.
However, that does not exclude the possibility of a star coming too, and possibly charging tuppence more on top of the fiver, but the idea is to encourage groups which do performance and give great entertainment, and this could in turn encourage an increase in the presence of such groups, nationwide and locally, as they would be appreciated and give great entertainment, be it Morris dancers, bagpipe players or Greek dancers (from Europe) or Serbian dancers or Northumbrian bagpipe players or Highlanders... they do not all charge massive fees and would be probably pleased to entertain for a normal sum.
Kath:
Hobnailed boots iron-shod, that's what we need, and marching military bands, and a bit of livelines, to spur people on to greater efforts, and empty the job-centre out and have people marching to work, at least a few times a week, and the economy will soon be back in stimulus. That's what we need armies for, for every day life!
