Hang on a minute. We are all either feeling or will be soon feeling the effects of the credit crunch, unemployment is rising many people find it hard to afford simple things like heating and we are now raising money so criminals can have instruments????I cant afford the luxury of having my own musical instrument and i work bloody hard but yet they are holding a special gig so that some theiving little bugger can sit in his cells strumming away?????How about you hold a gig for all the struggling musicains out there who are having trouble affording equipment but who havnt broken any laws??what a stupid idea.
