I don't normally indulge in Culture-baiting, but the news that the Mathew Street Festival has been cancelled leaves me reeling. But now for the entrepreneurial spirit of the city to rise like a phoenix – who is going to come up with the Button St/Rainford Square fest (not the Pier Head, surprise cause of all the trouble)?
I usually avoid the MSF with such scary enormous crowds, but if there's an impromptu happening I'll go, just to cheer.
