Not seditious, as the organisers had no choice.

Just the inevitable, and predictable, result of expecting any local authority to administer laws with a "light touch".

We are now seeing exactly what I, and Shambles, along with many others (such as the Performers Lawyers Group) said would happen.

We have been predicting this for several years, and I am sure all the others would agree with me when I say that it gives me no pleasure to be proved right.

IMO, until political parties are compelled to publish in detail the sources of their campaign funds, this bias in favour of recorded music and wide screen satellite TV will continue to blight the future of live music.
