(usually public funded)

FFS Al have you ever succesfully applied for public funding for the Arts? Any sort of Arts? And even better ever applied for Private funding?

My wife applied (successfully) for a lottery grant and nothing to do with folk music I might add.

Probably for £5,000 worked out at £10.00 per hour. About the same as people get busking.

The idea that public funding is just waiting there to be given out can only be referred to by someone who has never succesfully applied for it.

Now Al, you have had a bite from Ruth and one from me against my own better judgement.

Give it a rest.
