Towards the end of chapter 5 (p 90) there is mention of further details of how to avoid FSA regulations by approaching potential investors for smaller shows. It says further info is available on the website, but I can't seem to find that. Not sure if I'm not looking in the right place! Any further info on this particular area would be very welcome! Thanks very much, Nick <blockquote><strong>Hi Nick, Thanks for pointing out this omission.

Needless to say, there has been a lot of ad hoc improvisation which hasn't quite followed the rules in the book. A MORNING WITH GUY BURGESS runs until Jan 30 in Hoxton and if you have a free evening this week to see it I would be delighted to invite you. The cast of 8 are quite astonishingly good (see photos on Facebook). I have no idea if the show has any future beyond Jan 30 or even if we will break even, but I would love to hear your views. Best regards John Morrison James

I have dabbled on the fringes of the industry for a few years and am in the process of forming a new theatre company, and your book is proving really informative and encouraging I just thought I'd drop you a note to say that I've spotted a couple of obsolete/dead links which you might want to consider updating at some point, both under the Chapter 5 section: 1) Scottish Arts Council now call themselves Creative Scotland with their website at http://www.creativescotland.com/ 2) Arts and Business' website is now at http://www.artsandbusiness.org.uk/ Thanks again and best wishes, Simon Coates Hi James
