Biggest problem me and my mate have, playing to mixed age group audiences, is finding modern dancable pop songs that are playable by a pair of 50+ blokes without said blokes looking like total idiots.

We are a dance band so we play stuff people want to dance to. If that means Mustang Sally or Brown Eyed Girl so be it. We get a buzz from a full dance floor.

We (that is all of us to a greater or lesser degree) just have to accept the fact that our normal audiences have musical tastes that do not match ours. Given that we both like medium to heavy metal this is probably not a bad thing!
