Last night my son (10) took part in a huge kid's concert at the O2 - about 8,000 primary school children singing with various performers and a six-piece band. They've been rehearsing for weeks and, setting aside all my cynicism about these things, they did a great job and clearly had a fabulous evening.
The choice of songs was varied, ranging from the theme to The Flintstones to something by Ed Sheeran, whom I've never heard but I gather is a character from The Hobbit. However, the most cringeworthy moment for me was when the Blue Peter style presenter chirruped something along the lines of:
"Now, mums and dads, here's something nostalgic especially for you" and the band and choir promptly launched into a medley of songs from the 1990s.
Did I feel old, or what?
