Petition for Live Music
"Following on from the Early Day Motion in favour of an exemption from licensing for small live music gigs (which is for MPs to sign), there is now a petition to the PM which can be signed by anyone eligible to vote in the UK. The last time such a petition was put up it attracted 80,000 signatures - and was summarily ignored. This one needs at least twice that, so please sign and publicise. It is at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/livemusicevents/ where the full text can be read."
"Under the Licensing Act, a performance by one musician in a bar, restaurant, school or hospital not licensed for live music could lead to a criminal prosecution of those organising the event. Even a piano may count as a licensable 'entertainment facility'. By contrast, amplified big screen broadcast entertainment is exempt. The government says the Act is necessary to control noise nuisance, crime, disorder and public safety, even though other laws already deal with those risks. Musicians warned the Act would harm small events. About 50% of bars and 75% of restaurants have no live music permission. Obtaining permission for the mildest live music remains costly and time-consuming. In May, the Culture, Media and Sport Committee recommended exemptions for venues up to 200 capacity and for unamplified performance by one or two musicians. The government said no. But those exemptions would restore some fairness in the regulation of live music and encourage grassroots venues."
