Joe, a request...

I don't know how your linking system works but please, if possible could you consider "unlinking" this thread as I feel (perhaps wrongly) it has an effect of "diluting" a very important issue.

I can only express my own opinions but I believe this PEL issue has the potential to destroy folk (and other) music in England and Wales. I also believe (perhaps apparently contary to a reply I gave to Jim Dixon in another thread) that this is the most constructive move yet; but I fear PEL issues may have become something of a joke over here...

Please feel free to delete my post. I have no intention of causing trouble, but have serious (and at times even selfish) concerns over the whole PEL issues.

Jon
