Copied from a page on the MU site ... but it's for all of us not just MU members (aside: if you're not a member maybe you should be - check it out!). Anyway the politicians are considering undoing some of their past meddling with the live music scene, which the MU welcomes, and recommends sending this (or text like it)
Dear Sir/Madam
I welcome Government plans to bring forward changes to entertainment licensing. My remarks are primarily focused on supporting proposals to deregulate live and recorded music. The key features of this deregulation being:-
• To increase the size of an audience that does not require permission for a performance of amplified live music taking place between 08:00 and 23:00 in a licensed premise or workplace from 200 to 500 people.
• To exempt the playing
of recorded music from requiring permission between 08:00 and 23:00 in a
licensed premise where an audience does not exceed 500 people.
• To exempt
live and recorded music activities held in a school, hospital, community or
local authority premise from entertainment licensing between 08:00 and 23:00
where an audience does not exceed 500 people.
• To exempt entertainment
activities held by, or on behalf of, local authorities, schools, hospitals on
their own premises, as well as nursery provision on non-domestic premises, from
entertainment licensing between 08:00 and 23:00 with no audience
limits.
Yours
faithfully
