FOLLOWING my defence of the local band the Fashionable Winos (Letters, May 31), another parent has expressed strong reservations about them.
I understand that Mr James Cook (Letters, May 21) and Mrs Whittam-Jones (Letters, June 6) are both parents of daughters and are concerned for their moral upbringing.
I support their concerns, but cannot accept that the band can be made responsible for the actions of others.
I am very upset with Mrs Whittam-Jones' comments targeting the boys' "background" and wish to know on what basis she can make such a comment. I have recently reviewed the band's website and could not find any subject matter written by them which could be described as "abhorrent."
I have personally questioned each of the five band members regarding the allegations made against the band and discussed the same with their parents and we still all remain in full support of The Fashionable Winos.
