As the curtain came down at the climax of the eighth Leeds Jewish International Performing Arts Festival chairman Stanley Cundle said that he planned to launch a recruitment drive for young committee members. Mr Cundle said that as the festival, which sold a record 3,500 tickets, tended to attract a more senior age group, he felt it needed to reach out to a younger audience, especially to see cutting-edge comedy acts such as Josh Howie and US group Good for the Jews.
