Shambles: Andy is being sensible and practical in trying to protect the FUTURE of the festival. The decision on this year has been made - it is cancelled & however sad we may be about that no amount of discussion is going to change that. BUT if we interfere with his negotiations over future years we can upset them to the point there may not be a festival at Miskin in the future. Andy is far from stupid & if there is anything which could affect other festivals he is quite capable of identifying what that may be, and finding a way of ensuring that the apt information becomes known to other festival organisers who may need to know. I know you are upset, as are we all, and would like to think that there must be something that can be done, even if it's only to help prevent other festivals from suffering the same fate, or to use this to put more pressure on the MPs to change the law. But please, for now, accept that action on your part could do more harm than good.
