Subject: RE: Weymouth Folk Festival
Guest.............   follow my link above and read the article (sorry about small print) -

I will not be going this year neither will many of the people in the clubs that I have spoken with in this area of Lancashire in direct response to Weymouth CC over reaction and enforcement the current "Two in a Bar" rule -

Maybe the quote above should not imply that the withdrawal of support for the Weymouth Festival by enthusiast is because they are angry at the new proposals but more that they are angry at the current "over" enforcement of current act by Weymouth, and their concerns on how Weymouth will use the new/proposed license to "keep down" unlicensed song, dance and music unless making money for them - Folk Music the music of the Folk....... not for sale or rent.
