By doing this they show 'solidarity' by knowing their place and identifying themselves with the masses. Musicians could be at risk if a minority interest like cycling was allowed at same time and I expect the police to enforce the no-cycling ban at this event;-)<br /> Of course it may still be ok to drive onto the prom to get stuff set up... that's how it seems to work.</p> <p><em>BTW - it might be a good event. Just that I'm fed up with 'one off events' in town rather than real progressive changes to improve how we get to said events. </em> </p> Arellcat on ""Bold as brass bid to string buskers a mile along prom"" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1075#post-9970 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 13:27:15 +0000 Arellcat 9970@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Careful now, someone'll equate that with Critical Mass! </p> LaidBack on ""Bold as brass bid to string buskers a mile along prom"" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1075#post-9965 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:35:16 +0000 LaidBack 9965@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>'Local residents say the prom is "strangely bereft" of buskers and other street performers and are appealing to musicians and performers to change that.'<br /> </em></p> <p><strong>Let's encourage music <em>and cycling</em> on the prom!</strong> </p> chdot on ""Bold as brass bid to string buskers a mile along prom"" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1075#post-9962 Tue, 13 Jul 2010 11:39:16 +0000 chdot 9962@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Bold-as-brass-bid-to.6415773.jp" rel="nofollow">http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Bold-as-brass-bid-to.6415773.jp</a> </p>
