Given there is a body of Christian Rock music and performers of same, the answer could possibly be yes :-)

Seriously, though, I am beginning to wonder if this whole issue isn't being blown up out of all proportion.

Granted we have a major new piece of legislation, some parts of which do not seem to have been properly thought through which appears to be leading to a number of anomalies. OTOH, with any major change there are inevitably those who will foresee problems simply because they do not like change and the uncertainty it brings.

However, having followed various of these threads, it seems that for a landlord to allow music in his/her premises, they need to tick certain boxes in their application and, providing the licence application goes through, then music is allowed and you can have your session if the landlord wishes it to happen.

If they do not tick these boxes, surely there must be provision to apply for a variation in the licence conditions - with appropriate justification and safeguards - so that the situation can be remedied should they so wish to do?

That still leaves temporary and one off events, but provision seems to have been made for that, providing the organisers think ahead.

Yes there will still be teething problems with this legislation, but in time it will all settle down and everyone will begin to wonder what all the fuss was about
