Platty Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 The UK Government are trying to bring in a liscensing law to prohibite small venues having live musicians. If it happens our small venues will be forced to either, pay to hold gigs or not have any live performers at all. Smaller local bands and even big bands who like playing small surprise gigs in small venues like the babyshambles etc will all suffer so please sign this petition: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/licensing/ Yet another one to sign and I feel it's just as worthy as the road tax one a few weeks ago. So come on guys get to it and spread the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 I just wonder if any of you have researched the facts about this 'stupid new law', which according to the petition is alrady in place (funny how no one noticed it until they saw this thread, eh?). I am willing to bet that: 1. It is not as simple as this thread and the reaction suggests 2. It is not the musical apocalypse that you're making it out to be 3. Nothing will be done about it anyway. Is the e-petition system getting a bit out of hand? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
