Art world attacks festival's musical focus

"In more recent years, however, the official festival has concentrated exclusively on the performing arts ... the lack is patently absurd."

But not as absurd as the usual situation where "art" tends to mean visual and music and performance arts are usually an afterthought. My wife is an actor and drama teacher by trade and is fed up with the norm being the reverse of what is being complained about in this article. Somehow, it seems to me, it may be good for the other arts to know how it feels to be the Cinderella.

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
