Just to add to Richard's comments above - Kevin McGrath said on 26 Feb.
I suspect that most people here agree that this is a silly and damaging law that needs changing. It would be interesting to know whether many people have actually done something to help bring that cahnge about.
I have just read that a licensee is currently being prosecuted for holding a session in Greenwich London. I will try to get more detail when I have been able to contact Mick Wood who posted on to the BBC Radio 2 folk site. That site does not permit links or contact addresses so I have asked him to come here.
If anyone should know this Mick Wood, could they ask him to contact me? roger.gall@btinternet.com.
