Hi all,
Just passing this on :-

Possible threat to live music

You may have heard about the following proposed new law, but please read
the info below as it is important.

The government wishes to consider it a legal requirement in the new tax
year to introduce laws insisting anyone applying or re-applying for an
entertainment license must have a noise control device fitted to the venue.
This will be the final NAIL for ALL entertainment in the UK as the level at
which these devices CUT you off is dreadfully low and damaging to
musician's equipment.
In the case of live music this isn't so much to do with volume as the
ability to play a proper concert without constant interruption.
Any venue that has one in use cannot have any electric music as the power
is constantly being cut mid-song and even loud applause at the end of a
song can cut it.
This piece of legislation is being brought in to bring discos into line but
will mistakenly be applied to live music venues.

PLEASE DO NOT INTRODUCE THIS LAW, WE LOVE LIVE MUSIC!

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION HERE:

In the interests of balance
Under the current legislation it would be potentially unlawful for local
authorities to impose a blanket requirement that all venues fit noise
limiters, or to impose unnecessary or disproportionate conditions. But do
you think that will stop them doing that??

Please help music Live
