A local pub that has had Sessions in the "back" room applied, via the Brewery, for entertainment restricted to 2 performers, whatever they are. When this was pointed out to the landlord he said "oh thats the Brewery wanting no trouble. Don't worry. You can play in private".

Both are misunderstandings of the present law I think. The back room in quesion has a route through to the only ladies toilet in the place so its hardly "private", even if that were allowed.

The Session continues tonight however. I wonder if, like the 2 in the bar rule, enforcement might be patchy or non existant, although enforcement of serving to drunks, children etc will be enforced to make sure that there is not an escalation in violence, so the Govenment can claim "alls well".

Incidentally, I wonder if those playing music and who have to have a domestic pass out, have applied to the domestic authorities for an extension until 4 am?
