I think Sol did the right thing. Otherwise, where to do you draw the line? Should it cost you money every time your club doesn't meet some audience member's personal agenda? It's a public event - you can never cater to all tastes, political or otherwise. Whatever happened to freedom of expression? In any case, you advertised Magpie and you delivered Magpie.

Sol writes: They claimed that my advertisement for a folk music concert was a misrepresentation - but who is misrepresenting what? That argument would work just as well in the opposite direction.

If they do take it to court, it would be fun to see the venerable lawyers formally arguing that time-honoured hoary question:
