GUEST,Rag	PELs UK Music needs your HELP (64* d)	RE: PELs UK Music needs your HELP	20 Nov 02
Section 134 is a serious weapon in the hands of local authority officials who want to scare the folk session world. It means that if they raid a session, they can prosecute the landlord/manager and any and all musicians taking part. When I raised this issue locally I was told repeatedly that it wasn't an issue for folk musicians because the landlords would be the people charged with the offence. Apart from the sheer selfishness of this attitude of these people, maybe now they'll see that it might concern them after all. Having read the Bill, I feel done up like a kipper! This has got to be the single biggest attack on the playing of traditional music we've ever seen (apart from QE1 hanging the harpers of Ireland in C16th...). What say you Howells forsooth?
