Artists tuning up for protest
The day of so-called “artistic disobedience” will take place on April Fools’ Day, the day the council measures are set to be introduced, it was reported today.
More than 600 people have joined a Facebook campaign opposing the measures, which require even the smallest, low-profile events to secure a licence. They say that will threaten numerous grassroots events across the city.
