Keep plugging away, the fight is not over yet. In issuing the twelve myths KH has shot himself in the foot, human rights wise. How can he defend licensing live music when organised whilst exempting all sorts of other nefarious activities? We're getting to the nub of it all - money. Which is laughable when you consider that most of us put far more money into music than we get out!
Mary, I believe in the cause as much as anybody (indeed a lot more than a lot of the people in your area do from conversations last weekend - I'm sure the significance still hasn't sunk in) but I believe that I can fight this better outside prison than in.
Kitty, I agree, music to the likes of us is not a money making scam and the sooner the likes of KH realise that the better, which is why I've been having a go at EFDSS and it seems that they have been playing the proverbial duck (paddling like fury underneath) and are talking to the DCMS and some tame Lords. Maybe, for once in their existence they can make a difference?
With all the exemptions that are flying around now there is no reason at all why we can't be left to organise our clubs and sessions in peace, apart from a knuckleheaded refusal to understand what we do and how we do it.
