I seem to recall that one of the original posts on this topic was asking for recommendations of any new bands, which might interest an elder person.
For those interested in rock may I recommend (from the UK) London Grammar, Florence and the Machine, Amy Macdonald, and Wolf Alice.
Richard Thompson, although over 70, is till playing his immaculate guitar, and still writing. While Nick Cave (although an Australian) is producing some of the best music of his life.
Over the Atlantic, The Tededsky Truck band are still knocking all of the audience out, AND Grace Potter is doing the same. And in Canada the Cowboy Junkies are still doing their stuff.
For Jazz in the UK I must recommend KOKOROKO and Camilla George.
But if you like your jazz a bit lighter you can't go wrong with Tokyo Groove Jyoshi. They can play fantastically - and that is not all.
For the UK Classical music followers, there are free concerts almost very day in London. Mainly by students from the Royal Academy. Thes will ne the future stars of th concert halls. While the Kanneh-Mason family are already stars.
Take no notice of the daily crap on the radio. Did you ever listen to that when you were young? I would not think so. You were probably going to a local gig with no more than a hundred or so other fans and getting a first glimpse at one of those who later made the headlines.
and lets not forget Telly Savalas
