I tend to agree. But the problem is the people we need to inform do not really know that such things as sessions and sing-arounds happen, let alone that they are under threat or their great value.

That is why Morris being considered as public entertainment, although unfortunate has at least helped bring the issue forward. for even journalists know about those bearded blokes with bells......

I think we should concentrate first as a tactic, on the traditional events, put on by enthusiasts and unpaid. Try and win that freedom of expression battle first, as I think we can, before we move on to more conventional performers and their equally important rights.

For I think this will then automatically follow?
