As you probably know, many small scale live music venues have disappeared as a result of the 2003 Licensing Act. If you haven't already done so, please support the petition asking the government to act on the recommendations of the Culture, Media and Sport Committee to allow exemptions of small scale performances and acoustic music performed by one or two musicians.

As the General Election edges nearer, it could be a good point to raise with candidates as well.
Please forward this to your music loving contacts. Deadline to sign up by: 27th July 2010
