Hi,

Even if you don't play a string instrument, please send a short email to the below address insisting on exemptions for instruments as hand luggage on planes. The current policy is devastating travelling musicians.

This is the email address for the Rt. Hon. Douglas Alexander who is
apparently responsible for airline safety. He is Secretary of State for Transport. Please spread the word that he is the person to write to. I hope that he will get plenty of emails.......Thanks!

douglasg.alexander@dft.gsi.gov.uk

This email oroginally came to me from Simon Morris Director
J. & A. Beare Ltd, London, UK Tel: 020 7307 9666 Fax: 020 7307 9651
