GUEST,The Stage Manager UK Minister insults folkmusic: complain! (115* d) RE: UK Minister insults folkmusic: complain! 06 Feb 04


Yeah, and I'd like to complain that at the level where it matters, people singing and playing in pubs, we're no further forward in three years.

All we're asking for is the restoration of common sense and the continuation of a 1000 year old tradition. Obviously this is too much of a brainstormer for the bureaucrats.

Maybe if they won't let us sing or play in our local pubs, we should move to the local council offices and sing during council or commitee meetings.   

Personally, I'd love to hear three Somerset folk singers performing in the public gallery of the House of Commons next time Mr Howells gets up to make a speech. I bet it would get on "Yesterday in Parliament" on Radio 4!
