Good news indeed... the much heralded Live Music Bill has just become proper legislation, meaning that small venues in England and Wales, with a capacity of under 200 people, will no longer need local authority permission to host performances of live amplified music between the hours of 8am-11pm.
Will it make a difference? Recent research suggests that 13,000 additional venues in the UK could now stage gigs for the first time, with over 20,000 venues now able to increase their provision for live music.
