Monday 21 February

Norma Waterson, Eliza Carthy,Boo Hewerdine, Eddie Reader & Friends

in support of The Cambridge Two Campaign for the release of Ruth Wyner and John Brock

£6 adv/£7 door

For those outside the area, Ruth and John are two workers on a charity day shelter for the homeless in Cambridge who have been jailed for supposedly "allowing" the centre to be used for dealing in Heroin, after an undercover police surveilance operation. It is accepted that those dealing on the premises went to some lengths to prevent Ruth or John witnessing their activities; the crux of the prosecution case is that Ruth and John refused to pass on to the police their list of people they'd banned from the centre ON SUSPICION of dealing drugs. Exactly how this amounts to allowing the centre to be used for dealing is something only a British judge can answer . .

So it's good music in a good cause!
