My engineer and I were the oldest by far at a crowded student gig, watching Scouting for Girls play live, warm lager in hand. I’m not sure what gave us away …

I had some funny experiences last week in Norwich, where I was working on Radio 5 Live’s election coverage. In a coffee shop on the square, I met Colin, a revolutionary socialist.He favoured Labour’s effort, but said that what the country really needed was a period of “therapeutic disaster socialism” to sort us all out. I’m not sure what that involves, but Norwich seemed like an unlikely place for such a radical project to be born. I wish him well with his endeavours.

Not quite the oldest Adrian Chiles but I understand!

Just a shame it was scouting for girls

No. Live your life.

the minute you stop loving music, THAT'S when you're old.

When I go to Stones concerts I fear I - at 58 - am the youngest in the audience

Embrace it. I spent years not going to gigs. “Can’t go alone. I’ll be too old”. JFDI. Nobody cares. It’s a joyous experience

No just buy a stapler & get plastic surgery

You’re calling it a “rock concert” so yes, you should be worried.

About what

The thing you should be worried about is being at a scouting for girls gig!

Yep, I actually didn't go to a gig last month because the last time we saw the band in question band my wife and I looked like we might be their waiting to collect our kids who were also older than most of the audience.

Yes, you are wasting your life. Just fly to switzerland now and be done with it. satire

Yes, it sucks unless it's a small bar

Yes, you are making everyone else feel like shit.
