really disgraceful behaviour by the cops. particularly when you think about how under policed some areas of Sheffield are. The minister of culture should be informed what they are up to, as it is completely outside the spirit of the law. they promised us when this entertainment licence business came up that they would encourage the growth of folk music.

The business of the police should be protecting the community not using the letter of the law to piss around and generally irritate minorities - like folk singers.
