sometimes i find it hard justifying paying shit loads of money for a gig. Mark Eitzel for example, it cost £16 to get in, there were no posters ANYWHERE aside from in 'the trees' foyer, meaning there was NO ONE there. I only found out about the gig as I was randomly looking through the brochure the day before.
That shouldn't happen, no matter what comeback you are going to try and have, that just should not happen.
Luckily the gig was great, so I didn't mind parting with that much money.
I do agree with you, the lemon tree did not cater for everyones music taste, it did cater for an older crowd, but what promotion was done to get older people there? Surely if they are fairly unsuccessful at getting a younger crowd in the building, it must be even harder to get older folk in?
People can only do so much, it hasn't supported the local scene for a very long time now, so no wonder lots of people turned their back on it.
