Paul McCartney used to come watch them. Later on in life, he became disenchanted with avant-garde music, because he felt it couldn't reach the public. It didn't have a wide enough appeal.

I do think that when he changed to folk songs, he actually lost the tiny audience he already had, which is quite interesting.
