@historyrock_ I've actually met him & had a lovely conversation with him. He strolled into our pub/venue whilst killing time waiting for a train.
He came across as an absolute darling, with no airs & graces - extremely down to earth & genuinely interested in the fortunes of small music venues.
How do we stop delegating the governing process to people we can’t trust?
What is the mechanism for freeing ourselves from this cycle of betrayal, disappointment, and frustration?
Any ideas?
