Yes, saw Guardian Thanks

I can try TImes site myself. THanks again

I see Hamish Birchall is diong a seminar on the topic at Tenterden (festival)adn I am hoping to get there - but it (reform of relevant licensing law) really needs proper legal chapter and verse on the black letter of the law - and sight of the opinions produced by Council erks for the councillors.

THen it needs proper legal opinion from suitable human rights lawyer - maybe Geoffrey Robertson - dealing with the ECHR point (which I don't buy, because no opinion or its expression is being restricted, only the number of oeople who can express it at any given time).

Then it needs a careful and saleable to government alternative. THis is the really hard part.

THis also needs regular refreshing as it is probably the most important issue affecting folk music in the UK at the moment.

I support the present campaign - but am sceptical about the way it is being pressed, and have not yet seen any solution proposed that hangs together.
