Shambles whilst I understand what you are saying and that the course of action may be flawed in relation to the courts and interpretation of the law, I am merely trying to find some middle ground. I believe that what Jan is asking for could and only say could provide us (the folk scene) with some hope that our music is safe. Whilst I get your point about Human Rights I don't think at this time I want to alienate or harrass Sheff City Council to the point where they think we're professional loonies and dismiss us as cranks. We have made valid points to the leader and I think she should be at least applauded for listening and trying to help. It could be a smokescreen but I don't think it is. I believe it to be genuine and in broad terms supportive. So at this stage I'm not going on hunger strike (mainly cos I'd have to reprint my business cards !!!)
