I've had the costings through for confirmed entertainment acts over the next six months but it seems that they're only booked up to 18th December. Everything remaining is scheduled on Saturdays, a far more sensible move and one I applaud rather than the lunacy of trying to pull people in on Wednesdays. The highest fee is £275 for a saxophonist and a keyboard player but many of the acts are performing for free, including the Accrington Pipe Band.

I'm still against the idea of enforced six day trading but at least the entertainments bill has come down to a more reasonable level and actually involves local talent instead of paying people to promote their own businesses.
