Great loss in the offing

IT is imperative that the Lancaster Musicians' Co- op stays open.

It is indicative of a culture in which capital is king, to get rid of such a positive and creative space which helps to produce such a wide variety of music for all tastes.

Musicians are not lazy scumbags, they are largely hard-working, passionate people giving something back to their community. It will be a great loss to Lancaster and will be the death to a very much thriving scene.
