Someone like to let us know the position with Folkworks? We get this every time there's a funding cut - and it's not just folk this time by any means (e.g. Northcott Theatre in Exeter). The 'artistic reasons' are NEVER justified - they should be honest and simply say "our funding has been cut - we have less to give away - our decisions are essentially arbitary, because whatever reason we give there will be counter-arguments." If this runs true to form, more organisations will be threatened than are actually cut: this is so that the ACE can claim 'reprieve' and try to salvage some glory. Dr. T. W. Brown
